That's what I'm doing....Oh and V30 of O&O Defrag just came out.... PC runs much faster with it, It's noticeable, can't explain way.
In the past, free antivirus (AV) solutions were considered a solid choice for home users with tight budgets. But in 2025, the cybersecurity landscape has changed drastically: Ransomware attacks now use AI to bypass traditional defenses. Phishing emails and malicious ads are more convincing than ever. Zero-day exploits are on the rise, targeting everyday apps and browsers. So the big question is: Are free antivirus solutions like Microsoft Defender, Avast Free, and AVG Free still enough...
Media 'The “ILOVEYOU” Virus: The Love Letter That Crashed the World' in category 'Malware UI Samples'
In May 2000, an e-mail titled “ILOVEYOU” spread worldwide. The attachment looked innocent but unleashed a worm that corrupted files and spammed every contact — one of the first outbreaks to redefine computer security.
Hey Guys! Developing SiriusGPT was by far the most difficult project I have ever worked on, but I am super happy with the results. SiriusGPT utilizes 3 LLM / GPT models in an iterative configuration, and I have yet to see one false positive or negative, for both compiled and text based files, and for command line analysis as well. If you scan a file or experience a block, you can click the Sirius logo to toggle between the Analysis Report and the event details. I am pretty happy with the...
When someone asks for a fool-proof method to secure PC 😁 https://www.euronews.com/2025/09/16/taliban-leader-restricts-internet-access-in-an-afghan-province-to-prevent-immorality
A new report reveals that AI-developed malware—created using just three months of reinforcement learning and a budget of around $1,600—can successfully circumvent Microsoft Defender about 8% of the time. Let that sink in. The malware was trained using Qwen 2.5, an advanced language model, within a sandbox environment running Defender for Endpoint. Through iterative testing, it learned to evade detection reliably. In contrast, other AI models (Anthropic’s Claude, DeepSeek’s R1) showed less...
I'm in the market for a new browser to call home. I don't absolutely love Brave or Vivaldi, but of those two I'm more drawn to Vivaldi. Having now given the latest Opera a brief try, the user experience is quite enjoyable. My first impressions are that the interface is clean, aesthetically pleasing, and thoughtful. Even the logo is doing it for me. Gratuitous features are also unobtrusive enough. Importantly for me, the Android version seems to be a nice companion. I remember a stint using...
Hi Everyone, Am now performing a test of MS Windows Security Baseline + WHH at max settings per Andy Ful + OSArmor at all protections=ON. I am placing the laptop in the DMZ. As you probably know, being in the DMZ means the laptop will only be protected by it's own Windows Defender firewall and the modem+router will allow all access to it bypassing NAT protection. I would say it is a fair test of the capabilities of MS Windows Sec Baseline and WHH and OSArmor and Windows Defender and...

Thread 'McAfee Protection (Plus Plans, Total Protection, LiveSafe)'
Hello guys and welcome to this McAfee review. Before we get to the McAfee details (which will be discussed in great depth), I would like to discuss the upgrade to my practices across this forum. This forum is not for promotion of favouritism, it is designed mainly as a technical and objective forum. In the light of all that, I have created Trident Review Framework (TRF) 1.0 with several key highlights: Software is reviewed objectively based on capabilities and performance. Wherever threat...
Hello, Sorry if already there is a topic about this one, but the search didn't return anything related. Did someone of you is aware and tested this Korean freeware application? I watched some tests and one application caught my eyes. It is called iDefender. Didn't have the time to test it yet, but it looks promising and interesting. What do you think? Is it worth a try? Probably @Shadowra or @cruelsister can give it a test as well? :) Here are the tests: This seems to be the homepage...
