Error displaying Buffer Overrun Error.
Basically, the problem is that there are A NUMBER OF VIRUSES on your computer, they are mostly spyware, and are part of a virus group called VUNDO.
These viruses are not potentially harmul, they are basic spyware which are over rulling your command to your camputer.
Obvious signs of this are:
- A massive number of pop-ups stating that you should download a free spyware check. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT OPENING ONE OF THESE, AS THESE ARE THE VIRUSES ITSELF TRYING TO INPUT MORE INTO YOUR COMPUTER.
-Errors stating that you have a virus.
-Do Not Bother Using AVG or AVAST anti-virus to find viruses mentioned. these viruses are 2008 viruses and will not be detected by a standard update of your old anti virus.
Buffer overrun attack is a very common attack utilized by hackers. This type of attack is not new. This attack utilizes poor coding practices in C and C++ code, with the handling of string functions. The following code is an example of a buffer overrun.
void myMethod(char * pStr) {
char pBuff[10];
int nCount = 0;
strcpy(pBuff, pStr);
}
void foo()
{
}
Cause:
The input pStr is of an unknown size. The string copy is unsafe. If the string (pStr) is greater then 10 characters, then the buffer (pBuff) starts to bleed into nCount and the method foo. The buffer overrun property exploited would allow for the execution of foo by manipulation of the application input.
Solution:
There are three main actions to resolve the problem. First is to utilize the /GS compile option. This option creates a cookie between the stack overrun and the return address. This allows the system to help prevent buffer overruns, by changing the stack layout. The second action is to use the library. This library has buffer overrun safe functions that will help with the detection of buffer overflows. Finally, the last action is to perform extensive code reviews of string functionality and indexes utilized within your application. (If you know how to code, then no problem). :)
Download Spybot:

And run this. Update your anti-virus to a good make of name and then run this.
Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
