Take care when running some file types with "double click"

I also enjoy the pop up free updates by disabling Defnce plus at that time.
BTW I don,t bother to update so often except my security software.

 

Usually not as updates of such programs don,t bring too much changes in the the way an application works. Most CFP rules remain same, just few pop ups.

As i said I mainly update my browsers and security soiftware. CCleaner like applications.... hmmm.... i don,t mind to use a 6 months old version.

 

But when using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer you can't view images in FULL screen mode, full screen as in the same size of you monitor. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer doesn't allow it.

 

Yes I am saying that with 3rd party like FastStone the picture takes up the entire screen. And No it doesn't distort the image.

you should download and try FastStone Image Viewer in VM.

 

In a vulnerable or unpatched system, you don't even have to double click those files or view them on the default Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, merely browsing the folders containing those files with the windows explorer or hovering your mouse pointer over the exploit embedded image files, you will get owned or infected.
