  What the GDPR means for Facebook, the EU and you
Posted by: tarekma7 - 06-03-2018 , 12:10 AM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote:Everything you need to know about the European Union's new data privacy law, regardless of where you live.

The European Union has a new law on the books for protecting data privacy. It's the General Data Protection Regulation, more commonly called the GDPR. This Friday, it goes into effect in the EU's 28 member states.

The law changes the rules for companies that collect, store or process large amounts of information on residents of the EU, requiring more openness about what data they have and who they share it with.

That means you, Facebook.

It also means any company with a digital presence in the EU (which for the time being still includes the UK) will have to comply with the law or face steep penalties.

The deadline to comply with the law has been looming for two years, ever since the European Parliament adopted it in April 2016. When the Cambridge Analytica scandal at Facebook emerged in March, privacy advocates found an eye-catching example of why internet users might want more control over who can access their data.

  Configure the lockscreen display timeout on Windows
Posted by: tarekma7 - 06-02-2018 , 11:55 PM - Forum: Guides, Tips & Tricks - No Replies

Quote:Microsoft's Windows operating system includes a set of power options that define, among many other things, when the screen is turned off. You can configure Windows to never turn off the screen when the device is connected to a power source.

If you do lock the screen occasionally or even regularly, you may have noticed that the setting is not honored by the operating system when you lock the system.

Windows turns off the display after 60 seconds when the system gets locked regardless of power settings. The display gets turned off in locked system state even if you have configured Windows to never turn off the display when the device is connected to a power source.

Windows comes with a hidden option in the Windows Registry to change that. You may edit the Registry to add a new option to the power configuration so that you may change the timeout value of the display when the system is locked.

You may like to see the date and time displayed by Windows on then lockscreen, get a glimpse of recent notifications, or simply check out the most recent desktop background, and that requires a different timeout setting to block Windows from turning off the screen when the account gets locked.

Note: The tweak applies only to the lockscreen when a user locks the computer. It does not apply to the lockscreen on start or when a user signs out.

Configure the lockscreen display timeout on Windows


[Image: windows-lock-screen-timeout.png]

The very first thing you need to do is make a change in the Windows Registry to unlock the new power configuration setting.

Note: I recommend that you create a backup of the Registry or even the whole system before you make changes to the Registry. While that is usually safe to do, editing the wrong value may lead to all kinds of issue including a non-booting operating system.

Here is how you do that:

Tap on the Windows-key, type regedit.exe and select the result to load the Windows Registry editor.
Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\7516b95f-f776-4464-8c53-06167f40cc99\8EC4B3A5-6868-48c2-BE75-4F3044BE88A7
Double-click on the Attributes value.
Set it to the value of 2.
Tip: You can undo the change at any time by resetting the value to 1. Just perform the operation outlined above and set it to 1 instead of 2. Doing so restores the default status quo.

The values:

A value of 1 means that the setting is not displayed in the Power Options.
A value of 2 means that the setting is displayed in the Power Options.
You don't need to restart the PC after you make the change as the change is active right away.

We have created two Registry files for you that you may use to enable or disable the feature in the Registry. Click on the following link to download the Registry file to your device:  lockscreen-display-timeout.zip

Configure console lock display off timeout


[Image: console-lock-display-off-timeout.png]

The new option is added to the power plan configuration. Even desktop PCs that are always connected to a power source use a power plan on Windows.

Tap on the Windows-key, type powercfg.cpl and hit the Enter-key. Doing so opens the Power Configuration on the Windows device.
Select the "change advanced power settings" option on the "Edit Plan Settings" page. Note that you may change the display timeout and computer sleep timeout on the page if you want to adjust the values.
Select Display > Console lock display off timeout when the new Power Options window opens.
Adjust the timeout setting as you see fit. The lowest value is 1 minute.
You can try the new setting immediately by using Windows-L to lock the screen.

  New Customer Referral Program Emsisoft
Posted by: tarekma7 - 06-02-2018 , 11:16 PM - Forum: External Giveaways/Freebies - No Replies

Quote:[Image: emsisoft-referral-page-de-768x384.jpg]

We introduce our newly deliberate customer referral program today. Now a recommendation of Emsisoft is even easier and more rewarding. In order to make our products even better known, we need the help of our satisfied customers: you. In return for each of the recommended new customer who signs up at Emsisoft, and a full license purchases, your license is automatically extended by six months.

That's how it works:

Step 1: Log in Emsisoft account

Log on to your MyEmsisoft account in order to receive a referral link, you can then pass on to family and friends.

Step 2: Try and buy

test your friends and family and buy a Emsisoft product through your referral link.

Step 3: get reward

Your license is automatically extended. For each successful referral, you will receive a six-month extension.

[Image: image-3.png]

Undecided on how to proceed? Here are some tips:

For E-Mail

Send an email to your family and friends. Add a brief description of Malware, why would you recommend it, and - do not forget - your unique referral link. But beware: This is not about selling, but primarily about helping your friends going to protect yourself from malware. The more personal the text, the higher the probability that they do not feel harassed and show interest. Avoid necessarily automated mass e-mails. This is considered spam and is prohibited.
On social networks

Facebook

Tell your Facebook friends, for example, how well Emsisoft protects your computer and why you prefer other anti-malware or antivirus our solution. Of course, here your unique referral link is a must.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a great place to reach your professional network. Help your colleagues and business partners to find a malware protection for home and in operation by recommending Emsisoft. Share your referral link simply as own review or in one of your groups.

Twitter

Emsisoft constantly released updates to malware. Use this to not only strengthen awareness of cyber security, but also to extend equal your license period. Just retweet our posts, mention your preferred Emsisoft product and add your unique referral link. Through judicious use of hashtags #antivirus and #antimalware you reach more users.

Other social networks

Do you have other profiles that you use for business or pleasure, like Pinterest, Xing, Tumblr, Reddit, and the like? Then let your link but also about it.
Website or blog

If you have a website or a blog, you can also write an article about how to stay safe online. Or how about one or two lines to on your "About Me" page? Here you will find a few great pictures, you can use it.
Forum signature

Should you be known in a forum particularly active and trusted contributions, you need perhaps not (or at least for a while) to pay for Emsisoft. The fastest and easiest way (so your link and) to spread your Emsisoft recommendation, is your signature. Then your referral link will be displayed in all your contributions - whether past or future.

help family and friends when you install Emsisoft

Will you gladly taken of your friends and family as a personal computer and anti-malware expert in claim? Then download Malware but about your ID down when you are asked for help once again. You can save the installation file with your ID on a USB stick or a CD. Thus, you have Emsisoft always at hand when a computer is infected again. Think but always remember to first ask permission.
Your personal recommendation site

For customers of Emsisoft there in MyEmsisoft a personal recommendation page account. Go after logging just the License menu. There you will find your referral links and a list of already successful recommendations.

  How To Defer Windows 10 Updates
Posted by: tarekma7 - 06-02-2018 , 11:09 PM - Forum: Guides, Tips & Tricks - No Replies

Quote:Every month the vernacular changes. There was a time when it was called the <something> update. Now, it’s called the “help with your update” update. If you go to the Settings App, you can choose from different types of updates. Isn’t this fun? I don’t love updates.

I used to. There was a time when I looked forward to Windows updates. Really! That was back when things were similar to what might be called stable. Now days, Windows is far from stable. It is a gamble every time you download an update. It may, or may not, work. Unless you absolutely, positively can’t live without a new “feature”, my recommendation is to hold off until it appears that most of the bugs have been exterminated.

If you are one of the wise ones who would rather be safer than be on the bleeding edge (just because), then read on…

How To Defer Updates

Use the Windows Key + I to open the Settings App
Click on Update & Security
In the left panel, click on Windows Update
In the right panel, click on Advanced options
That should bring you to a screen that looks like this:

[Image: settings-advance-options.png]

In the first drop-down menu there are two choices:

Semi-Annual Channel (Targeted) – This option will cause updates to be delivered to you when Microsoft thinks it should, probably sooner than later
Semi-Annual Channel – This option will delay update delivery to a schedule that resembles those of businesses. In other words, later rather than sooner (not late enough these days)

Feature Updates

The next drop-down menu lets you control what Microsoft calls Feature Updates. This includes major feature changes and additions such as those found in the infamous 1803 patch. You can set this anywhere from zero days to 365 days. As you can see, mine is set to 60 days. I’ll keep jigging this number upwards until I am satisfied that Microsoft has fixed the update, or at the very least, has brought it to a reasonably stable condition (i.e., where fewer people are complaining about it).

Quality Updates

Quality Updates include security patches such as Windows Defender virus definitions. These are important to stay abreast of, so I don’t recommend delaying this. You can, however, set this delay for up to 30 days.

No Guarantees

In the past, notably in Windows 7, Microsoft has not recognized these settings and has updated systems even though these delays were in place. I have not had this happen to me, but you need to be aware of it, just in case.

The same goes for Windows Home users. Normally, telling Windows Home that you are on a metered connection is enough to stop the unwanted updates, but again, this does not always work.

Why Microsoft would put in place these user controls and then sometimes ignore them is beyond me. Honestly, it only serves to lull their customers into feeling a sense of control which may not necessarily exist. The only true way to guarantee that you won’t receive these unwanted updates is to pull the plug. You’re right– I don’t like that option, either.

  Smart Object Blocker v1.5 Released

http://www.novirusthanks.org/products/sm...t-blocker/       Smart Object Blocker v1.5
Smart Object Blocker is a Windows OS utility that provides a valid approach to prevent malware and rootkit infections without requiring virus signatures or updates, you can create your own rules to block or allow objects. It monitors in kernel-mode all processes, dlls and drivers loaded in the system, best bulletproof protection. You can write rules to allow (or block) processes, dlls and drivers, you can use wildcards and regular expressions, and the rules are updated in real-time (no need to restart the application).

For Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 (32\64-bit)    Smart Object Blocker v1.5

For Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 (32\64-bit)

app screenshot
app image
Lockdown Mode
With the Lockdown Mode you create a granular whitelist of applications, dlls and drivers that are allowed to run in the system and all the rest is automatically blocked, period. This approach is very powerful because the program can block 0-day threats without having to rely on signatures or updates.

app image
Behavioral Mode
With the Behavioral Mode you can specify custom rules to block processes, dlls and drivers. You can block, for example, the web browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) to execute unsigned processes or unsigned dlls, thus preventing exploit kits to execute the payload. You can also exclude specific objects from being blocked.

app image
Create Smart Rules
We have developed a smart way to create rules: you can use wildcards, regular expressions (PCRE), field aliases, custom environment variables, group multiple conditions, and much more. The “grouping” of a conditional evaluation based on any supported vars/aliases which fully acknowledges both wildcarding and full regex has literally unlimited potential.

app image
Universal Rules
Thanks to the custom environment variables and to field aliases the rules that you create for you can also be shared and used by other users. This makes the program very powerful because you can also use rules from other users, joining forces with other skilled users is always good to create the perfect whitelist or blacklist.

app image
Filter Everything
You can scan with your custom rules every field about a to-be-loaded process, dll and kernel-mode driver, including the process name, parent process, PID, file MD5 hash, file publisher, file description, file size, name of the vendor / company that signed the file, entire command-line string, and much more.

app image
No Code\API Hooks
Our program does not install any user-mode or kernel-mode API hook on your system. It uses all documented (and undocumented) kernel-mode callbacks to monitor for executions of processes, modules and drivers. We have created this program to support all Microsoft Windows OSs, 32/64-bit, with a focus on stability.    Product Details

  Google Adds New Firmware Integrity Protection System to Pixel Smartphones
Posted by: tarekma7 - 06-02-2018 , 12:25 AM - Forum: Phones & Tablets News - No Replies

[Image: Pixel2.png]

Quote:Google has announced today a new security mechanism for Pixel 2 smartphones, for which, in the near future, it would be impossible to update or replace the phone's firmware without entering the user's password.

Google says it added this new security mechanism as a way to prevent malicious insiders, even those with the highest level of access, from tampering with its smartphones.

New security feature enhances an already hard-to-hack phone
This new security measure is just the cherry on top of an already super-secure device that even today comes with plenty of low-level firmware protections.

For example, Pixel devices use secure hardware components to store and handle the encryption keys used for encrypting the user's locally-stored data.

This "secure hardware" also runs its own set of secure firmware that checks the validity of the user's password and also protects the device from repeated attempts to guess a password (brute-force attacks).

This firmware is also protected by a code signing mechanism to prevent attackers from replacing the firmware altogether with one that bypasses password checks and just decrypts the data, no questions asked.

Phone password will be required for Pixel firmware updates
Here's where Google's new security feature comes in handy. By requiring a phone's password when replacing or updating this firmware, Google is making sure that an attacker has to compromise both the firmware's digital signature process and the user's device password at the same time. Compromising one is hard enough, but compromising both is near impossible.

It's a small update on Google's part, but one with great repercussions to device security. Sure, hacking a Pixel 2 phone was hard anyway, but not it just got many times harder.
