Thanks Erikloman! FYI, my system is clean. Have no idea why or how FakeAV could've written to HKLM to begin with, if it's indeed a malware...
Ok, so it means whenever Google pushes out a patch for a 0-day, I should stop using the current Chromium and use the next (e.g. stable) version...
The registry keys don't reveal anything out of order. So why is Hitmanpro considering this a threat? Hitmanpro devs - please check and consider a...
Is this a false positive? Kind of weird. Happend to me couple of days ago. Hitmanpro 3.7.12.253 Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. [ATTACH]
Seems there's no download available for Windows 7 to mitigate this security flaw : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/968389
Ok, thanks for the explanation. I think I got it this time. So one could conclude that Chrome is actually more secure because the compiled...
Yes that's a pity. Quite unusual there's no solution after 1 month.
That part I already know. But it isn't clear to me if : When a security bug is discovered in Chrome (e.g. via their bug bounty program), it's...
Thank you WildByDesign for the input and valuable links. I'm sure anyone is free to reply/comment on any posts if they'd like ^^ When you say...
So when do you know when a patched Chrome is patched in Chromium? Or perhaps it's the other way around? Is it secure/safe to use Chromium, if so,...
Does Chromium fit into your description?
Yeah it's easy-peasy. Once installed, any arbitrary app "needing" a network connection will be blocked and prompted by NRF.
Norton Connectsafe has never warned me of anything. I am not a registered member if that makes a difference?
I use NoRootFirewall by Greyshirt. I'm amazed how many apps (virtually all of them) "needs" internet access.
Thanks for the update Ronjor. Wonder if these patches will ever reach my non-Nexus device.

I love the way you can boost the performance by several hundred % by simply replacing the HDD with an SSD. That's a good decision!
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.
Where do you download the Chromium installer from? Chromium's official download page has a similar zip package that the woolyss site mentioned...
I prefer having an auto-updater. Too cumbersome to fiddle around with zip's every time there's an update available. Seems Chromium for Windows...
Thanks for confiming this. I thought Opera indeed had a sandbox (now that they're using Chrome's engine), too bad they didn't implement Chrome's...
My hw swap regimen usually occurs every ~5 years. Last hw setup I had was an i3-530, 4gb memory and a HDD. Today I have an i5-4690k (@4.4 ghz) 8gb...
Great, thanks. But this works only on W10?
Sometimes I regret getting a smartphone. It gives me sore fingers and on top of that security issues. I miss the good old gsm only phones.
Would disabling "auto mms download" feature mitigate this?
