  Wise Registry Cleaner [Lifetime License]
Posted by: tarekma7 - 09-24-2018 , 08:32 AM - Forum: Promo2day Time Limited Giveaways - Replies (12)

[Image: iZkrlMo.png]

I would like to thank WiseCleaner.com Team for sponsoring this exclusive giveaway for our users and visitors

The Giveaway will run from September 24 to September 28, 2018

Free Registry Cleaner and Optimizer
        Clean registry junks, repair Windows errors, and keep your PC at peak performance.

Current Version:  9.6.5 

Release date: Aug. 17, 2018

Size: 2.72 MB

System Requirement

OS: Windows XP, Vista,7/8/10 (both 32-bit and 64-bit)

CPU: Pentium 233 MHz or above
RAM: 128 MB or above
Disk Space: the minimum of the space for installing Wise Registry Cleaner is 10 MB


Features

Multi-user Cleaning Pro

This new feature is ideal for computers that are used by more than one person, such as home computers which are shared by a family and public computers in public places. People who have administrative rights can easily scan and clean all users' registry at once. You do not need to login under each individual account to scan & fix registry issues.

Fix Registry Problems and Boost Your PC Performance

The registry keeps growing when you use Windows, so does the obsolete items in the registry, which would eventually lead to performance degradation and even system crash. Wise Registry Cleaner scans the Windows registry and finds errors & residual items in the registry and then cleans or defrags them. By fixing these residual and corrupted items in Windows registry, your system will run faster and more stable.

The Practical Backup/Restore Feature

The registry is automatically backed up before any cleaning is performed. You can use it to restore the registry to the previous point, in case you encounter some system problem. You can also create a full registry backup or system backup manually with it at any time before making any major system or network configuration changes on your PC.

Scheduled Automatic Registry Cleaning

In the main interface, you can set Wise Registry Cleaner to clean the registry on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule according to your own need. Wise Registry Cleaner will automatically clean up the registry in the background when the scheduled time is up. In settings, you can also create a 'Clean with 1-click' icon and place it on the desktop. With this feature, you can clean up the registry by just clicking the icon without opening Wise Registry Cleaner.

System Tune-up Optimizes System Settings for Better Performance

Other than cleaning up and defragging the windows registry, Wise Registry Cleaner can also optimize relevant system settings to improve both system speed and internet speed. After one-click optimization, you will see some improvement in your PC’s performance.

Customizable Cleanup Options for Advanced Users

You can specify to run a normal, safe, or deep registry scan.
Custom areas of the registry can be scanned for things such as invalid file extensions, obsolete startup program entries, invalid software paths, and many more.
Exclusions are allowed, so you can tell Wise Registry Cleaner to avoid cleaning any registry items with specific words in them.

  On all computers in Russia it is planned to preinstall Russian antiviruses
Posted by: mrtrout - 09-22-2018 , 03:40 AM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://habrahabr.info/administration/an...ruses.html     On all computers in Russia it is planned to preinstall Russian antiviruses
20/09/2018 17:26
The Russian government has introduced the national project "Digital Economy", in the passport of which there is an interesting proposal from the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of Russia: Legislatively ensure the presetment of domestic anti-virus programs for all personal computers imported and created in the territory of the Russian Federation , starting from August ? 202? reports "Kommersant".
 
 
Colleagues from other departments positively assess the initiative of the Ministry of Communications. For example, experts from the Ministry of Economy added a response with a recommendation how to substantiate a possible violation of WTO rules: import substitution is proposed to be carried out "with a view to ensuring national security".
 
commented on "Kommersant" in the press service of the Ministry of Economy.
 
 
Eugene Kaspersky, general director of Kaspersky Lab, in an interview with Kaspersky, explained that the scale of Russian import substitution can not even closely compare with what is happening in the United States:
 
 
"They have import substitution - this is not only a slogan, like ours, the entire system is initially built in such a way. Therefore, in North America, we have very little chance of gaining any market share. "
 
The initiative was also supported by Natalia Kaspersky, President of Infowotech:
 
 
"Antivirus can gather information and then analyze it somewhere. How will it look from the point of view of the country's security if we place Symantec everywhere? He will see everything from us, "- said Kaspersky.
 
Currently, there are two large players on the Russian and CIS markets: ESET and Kaspersky Lab, with ESET accounting for about a third of the antivirus market.

  Cryptojacking surges and here’s what to do about it

Cryptojacking surges and here’s what to do about it
  Avast Security News Team, 20 September 2018
The Microsoft Eternal Blue vulnerability turns out to be a useful tool in illicit cryptomining.


In the bustling industry of cybercrime, ransomware has always been a popular weapon of choice...until this year. In 2018, illicit cryptomining (AKA cryptojacking) took the title, surging 459%. Cryptojacking is the crime of using somebody else’s computer processing power to mine cryptocurrency. Victims may not even notice, as there are no outward signs that the mining is occurring, save possible slowing down or overheating of the system.

On Wednesday, the Cyber Threat Alliance published a report on cryptomining, including key findings that the Eternal Blue vulnerability on older Microsoft systems plays a major role in cryptojacking. Eternal Blue was the cause of 2017’s WannaCry and NotPetya ransomware outbreaks, and while a patch has been available for a year and half now, the key findings state, “there are still countless organizations that are being victimized by this exploit.” Cybercriminals have simply adjusted the use of the flaw from ransomware to cryptojacking.

While acknowledging that cryptojacking has increased throughout 2018, Avast Security Evangelist Luis Corrons isn’t so sure it has everything to do with the NSA software leak, the EternalBlue exploit. Rather, Corrons points out, EternalBlue became well-known once WannaCry hit the scene, and “there were attacks on companies that used this exploit to infect computers with cryptomining well before WannaCry.”

“The point is,” Corrons continues, “because cryptojacking equals free money, it’s become popular. And not only are there pointed attacks simply to mine, but there are also cases where it is a ‘side business.’” A side business, Corrons explains, is when cybercriminals compromise a computer and not only steal data and credentials, but also do cryptojacking. “So any time a cryptojacking attack is detected — and this is especially critical for SMBs — it points to the fact that security issues must be addressed, and immediately,” Corrons says.

To keep your CPU power protected and working for you alone, Avast recommends you protect yourself from cryptomining by doing the following:

Stay updated — Update all operating systems and apps as soon as the updates are released. Cybercriminals have a difficult time cracking into new versions of software, but they can do their dirty work through old versions that have known flaws.

Use an antivirus — Good cybersecurity like Avast Free Antivirus blocks malware, including cryptojacking schemes, and will alert you if any websites you try to visit are unsafe.
Download Avast Free Antivirus

Block JavaScript miners — Browser extensions exist that will block the most common JavaScript miners. Use one of these to protect yourself as you surf the web.

  Farage: Pretty censorship! The need for a Bill of Rights for social media users!
Posted by: Bjyda - 09-21-2018 , 08:43 PM - Forum: Off Topic Chat - No Replies

Nigel Farage called for the creation of a Bill of Rights for social media users after the largest of these media persecute people with conservative views.
The former UKIP leader at the New Culture Forum in London on Thursday evening told the public that such important events as Donald Trump's election as US president, Brexit in the UK and the creation of the current Italian government 'could not happen without using social media.'

However, after the presidential election in the US in November 2016, the owners of social media that facilitated the 'global revolt' became a 'threat' to the 'democratic process', through practices such as shadowbanning and censorship of conservatives.

- The reactions of the owners of these social networks pose a threat, in my opinion, to freedom of speech - and even the entire democratic process. We must stop their prejudices, 'said Farage. - This is from November 8, 2016, when Trump won, the owners of these social networking sites began to change their thinking and even their practices.

He cited an example of Google, which he called the 'gateway' to information, considering that this search engine accounts for over 80% of searches on the Internet.

- The day after Trump was chosen, the largest online search engine, the most powerful major technology company in the world ... effectively declared war on the whole 'populist' revolt that takes place throughout the West - said the MEP.

Discussing the monopoly of technology companies managed by the liberal elite in the Silicon Valley, Farage stated:

'We have fewer than a handful of companies that now control the entire future of our democratic debate in the entire western world, and I think that now has very worrying implications. I think the issues are so fundamental and so important that we can not allow the whole future of political discourse to be in the hands of two or three people who, according to their own testimony, have turned out not to be politically neutral.

- I believe that Donald Trump and [campaign manager - note. ed.] Brad Parscale in the presidential election campaign in 2020 will promise a Charter of Rights for social media users, doing all they can to resolve this imbalance - he said, adding that a similar law can be adopted in Great Britain and Europe .

- This is how future generations will gain information and shape their opinions. We must do everything in our power to ensure that this is done in a fair and impartial way. This is based on the whole future of trust, faith and trust in our democratic processes - added Farage.

He also addressed the issue of technology companies that punish those who try to use the Internet to 'promote violence, terrorism and extremism.' He warned that such powers, if they could not be controlled, could be used to 'close the debate on sound democratic conservative values'.

  Quick Heal finds over 180 million threats to Windows OS
Posted by: mrtrout - 09-21-2018 , 06:26 PM - Forum: Security News - Replies (1)

http://www.ehackingnews.com/2018/09/quic...llion.html      Quick Heal finds over 180 million threats to Windows OS
on Thursday, September 20, 2018 |       Global Internet security firm Quick Heal Technologies has detected more than 180 million threats on desktops and laptops with Windows Operating System in India.

According to the quarterly threat report released by the firm on Wednesday, more than 2 million malware, 16,000 ransomware, 13,000 crypto-mining malware, 141,000 exploits, and 40,488 potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and adware are detected on a daily basis.

“More than 18 crore threats were detected on Windows devices of individual and enterprise users between April and June 2018. May was the busiest month, with more than 74 million incidents detected, followed by April and June that witnessed 55 million and 51 million detections respectively,” a Quarterly Threat Report 2018 said.


“The absence of appropriate cybersecurity measures has also made users and businesses across India more vulnerable to emerging threats,” it further added.

Joint Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer, Sanjay Katkar said in a statement, "Cybercriminals are at a completely different level today than they were a few years ago. They are using novel technologies to drive increasingly-complex attacks and are targeting larger user bases."

"The latest threat report highlights this risk that individuals and businesses in India currently face with this evolution of the threat landscape," Katkar said.


The Trojan Horse families have registered a quarter-on-quarter growth of four percent in the second quarter of 2018 and remained the most dominant malware in this quarter also.

“Individual users and businesses across India need to understand the massive risk that they are exposed to at present. Ignorance is not a viable cybersecurity strategy. The need of the hour is to drive large-scale adoption of cutting-edge security solutions such as those offered by Quick Heal and Seqrite,” he said.

However, the rise of cryptojacking remains the biggest worry, as it is getting direct monetary benefits to cybercriminals.

“Cryptojacking attacks remain undetected for a long time and can often be used as a platform to launch other complex attacks…over 3 million cryptojacking hits were detected till May 2018, with the number of active mobile cryptojacking variants increasing to 25,” the report said.
