Matt, the reason that no one program detects them all is that they all use different algorithms to detect what is good and what is bad. All of them support a signature based thing where they look for patterns of *known* virii and spyware. That's the easy part (relatively speaking). The hard part is prevention. Why is that hard? Well, because the folks writing the nefarious software get to tweak and tweak much faster than any anti-virus/spyware vendor can keep up. The difference is in QA. When Norton, Microsoft, Adaware, etc. produce a release they actually test it against a vast number of system configurations. They don't just throw shit out there and hope it works. Someone writing nefarious software could give a flying fuck if the code crashes once in a while - in fact, there have been spyware vendors that have built a business model around their own crashes. When IE and Windows started shipping with the crash detection and upload stuff it actually impacted their business.

Agreed. It will just start eating up bandwidth. That is if you can even get your PC online.

The audio CD makers are taking advantage of the fact that CDs can include multiple types of content. The first usage of this hybrid disk format I saw was when bands were including "bonus" content such as games, puzzles, bios, etc. So when you put the CD in your computer the alternate content would come up.
Autoplay was originally added for program/data disks to allow them to specify a program to run when a CD is inserted into the machine. This is how installers kick off automatically when you put the disc in or how games load automatically.I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

Another way to protect yourself from autoplay abuse is to not run as an administrator on your system. The way these copy protection schemes work is by installing system level device drivers which is not possible when you are not running as an administrator.I want REAL change.
