@zakazak Linux is not at all secure against keyloggers, once someone has access to your user account. X11 is pretty bad on the security stuff....
@SuperSapien: this software does not exist for Linux because it is conceptually silly. Encrypted keystrokes have to be decrypted at some point to...
60+ new updates for Win7 SP1 since last week, totaling over 200 MB. How on Earth do people tolerate this OS?!
^^^ What he said. And it was only a matter of time before this happened, IMO. There are a lot of badly configured Linux servers out there.
After banning decent encryption in corporate environments? Good luck.
That may work (for now), but it's extremely stupid and shortsighted IMO. Any C/C++ based malware could use VSS API calls. Or even something...
@itman Probably a minified copy of some Google tracking stuff then. The real malice appears to be in the embedded JS.
Use WSUS Offline Updater for the initial update. Windows Update is pretty much broken when dealing with large numbers of updates on WIn7. I'm...
There is a seemingly unique JS file, "analytics.js". No idea what it does. Here it is after pretty-printing, though, if anyone wants to take a...
Links2 and Linux CLI tools to the rescue. As usual. Gimme a minute.
So, I can actually look at this in the element inspector... Let me see if I can dump the page sources, or something.
... And the phone number is invalid as a US number (only 9 digits). Nice.
Huh. I just noticed, the scam site has a valid TLS certificate. Groovy. :( Edit: right, d'oh, this is on GoogleAPIs. Edit 2: the IP addresses...
It's a scam. The window is a Javascript popup, designed to fool you into calling the scammer's number. It doesn't look like there's any malware...
@safeguy My own experience is that Defender generates very large amounts of disk I/O on Windows 7. If you do software development, web design,...
@Windows_Security See what itman says above. The problem is 32-bit apps on 64-bit Windows. Note, browsers and other vulnerable programs should...
On the one hand, good. On the other... Pot vs. kettle, anyone?
@lotuseclat79 I've actually had some success virtualizing Win2k/XP on older laptops, without hardware virt. But... yeah, that's pretty much it....
If you're like me and tend to put the cart before the horse, you may have tried running Linux VMs with PAE and VT-x, and found them to work great...
Seems we get an article like this every 6 months or so... No, antivirus is not dead. Not while there's money to be made from bad engineering...
@taytong888 If traffic isn't going through it perforce, there's no way to ensure that it isn't being bypassed somewhere. Physics always trumps...
Update: the Inspiron has now replaced my EeePC as my main general-purpose desktop. Works very well ATM, with the sole exception of the rubbish...
Okay, I *think* I got it. Updating GRUB2 config breaks the partition table completely for some reason. The solution seems to be to reinstall GRUB2...
OTOH, somewhat less than impressive is how the SD card just lost its partition table. In the first hour of use! Wow. Let's see if we can fix...
I'm currently running Debian Jessie on a 1.2 GHz Dell Inspiron, with a little help from this thing: [ 1.320332] ata1.00: CFA: SINTECHI...
Separate names with a comma.
