Abstract :

Unlike the malware of yesteryear, today's threat arrives with almost no symptoms to its existence. There is no slowdown, no missing files, no visual components to look for and no graphical display. Despite the relative silence of these threats, the actual danger to the individual computer user has never been greater. Join David Perry, in a presentation about the state of the art.
