Re: consent.exe - malware

"consent ui for administrative applications" wants to access the
internet:

It is showing up on compromised systems. I have it on several laptops
- out of the box and manufactured in China. Either the system image has
been tampered with or it is a BIOS virus or both.

It is smart and attempts to hide itself.

The web site is a list of certificate revocations.

Oh...those idiots.

It is probably just users not understanding its function.

Consent.exe needs the internet to check certificate validity.

Lemme guess - your using some other firewall than Vista's native one,
and you don't know exactly how to interpret results from it?

Let me guess: You have been sent by your chicom bosses for damage
control and to confuse.

Are there now a million bloggers on the chicom payroll? Including
hundreds of Microsoft MVPs?

How to get Microsoft MVP status?
Get other users and MVPs to recommend your posts.

Once the chicoms got a few of their bloggers as MVPs it has been very
easy to multiply those numbers?

Microsoft MVPs have access to the windows source code.
