Today I discovered that ChatGPT no longer works when WebRTC blocking is enabled in uBlock Origin in my Chrome browser. It is possible to immediately identify the culprit (WebRTC block) because certain characteristic elements are usually missing from the website. Please note the images below: Without webRTC blocking: With webRTC blocking: P.S. So I added the exception for WebRTC in uBo. But in AG it's not necessary.:unsure::unsure::unsure:

Hey MalwareTips parents (and anyone with kids/nephews using the family PC), It’s late 2025 and every paid suite screams “award-winning parental controls!” – but we all know the reality check from a few years ago was brutal (most were easily bypassed by a 12-year-old with YouTube). So where are we now? Have they finally caught up, or are we still better off with dedicated tools? Quick real-world rundown from 2025 tests & parent reports: Norton Family – Still the king: real-time...

Hey MalwareTips community, Ransomware is evolving fast in late 2025 – attacks are down in volume but way more targeted, with average demands now $1.5–2M and recovery costs hitting $1.8M even when you don’t pay (Sophos State of Ransomware 2025 & Coveware Q3).The big selling point for many paid suites is “ransomware rollback / remediation” – supposedly restoring encrypted files from shadow copies or protected backups if the AV fails to block the attack in real time. But how much do home...

Hey MalwareTips community, It’s November 18, 2025, and the old-school advice used to be “never run two real-time AVs – they’ll fight.”But with Windows 11 24H2, Microsoft relaxed that dramatically: Defender now peacefully coexists with most third-party real-time engines (no more automatic disabling). So the real question for home users is: does layering a third-party AV on top of Defender actually give measurable extra protection in 2025, or is it just bloat, false positives, and wasted...

1) Recently, my Microsoft Defender removed a malicious file: AppData\Roaming\secure\QtWebKit4.dll (Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml) Before migrating to Microsoft Defender, I used Kaspersky Free as my main antivirus and scanned with Malwarebytes Free. 2) The files in the secure folder are dated 08/12/2024. I found a Malwarebytes Free log, and this log shows that a removal occurred on the same day the secure folder was created, 08/12/2024. 3) Are these events interconnected? And why didn't...

"We know we have work to do": Microsoft posts apology, but gets destroyed in the responses Microsoft’s plan to turn Windows into an agentic operating system has been met with massive backlash online. When the Microsoft President of the Windows and Devices division announced the next Microsoft Ignite developer and professionals conference, AI made up the cornerstone of the announcement. Users responded in droves and the general tone was very negative. Many asked Microsoft to focus on the...

Is the Burn_Card_Maker.exe file real malware or a false positive? https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/91c707f73b4a0d13d4ad0906ea9cee5925c2fa59c7f54c1d88375c81238d7d1f https://hybrid-analysis.com/sample/91c707f73b4a0d13d4ad0906ea9cee5925c2fa59c7f54c1d88375c81238d7d1f https://opentip.kaspersky.com/91C707F73B4A0D13D4AD0906EA9CEE5925C2FA59C7F54C1D88375C81238D7D1F/results?tab=upload

Privacy, that quaint myth we were once taught to revere, is no more. It wasn’t assassinated in the dark—it was euthanized in broad daylight. We clicked “I agree” like mourners signing the death certificate of our digital soul. Now, instead of protecting ourselves, we reveal our secrets to the algorithms—like confessions in a church with no priest, only the Terms of Service. — Where were you last night? — Google already has the evidence. — What’s on your mind? — Meta called it. — And your...

Tried to visit this website (egydead.skin) an hour ago, I have got this warning on Edge: It never has a similar one before. Trying again few minutes ago, the website loads normally; checked its certificate, it is valid: Is this a true warning by Google or some sort of scam?

It's November 11, 2025, and for Windows home users ready to level up from free AV, paid suites deliver powerhouse extras like unlimited VPNs, identity monitoring, ransomware rollback, and parental controls – all while nailing 99%+ threat detection amid AI-phishing surges (442% per IRONSCALES Q3 2025) and ransomware costs at $1.5M avg recovery (Sophos 2025). But at $30-60/year, which one's your sweet spot? We've crunched the freshest lab data from AV-Test (Aug 2025), AV-Comparatives (Sept...

It's November 11, 2025, and for Windows home users on a budget, free AV is more crucial than ever with AI-phishing up 442% (IRONSCALES Q3 2025) and ransomware recovery costs averaging $1.5M (Sophos 2025). Microsoft Defender is the silent default, but third-party free tools bring web shields, extras, or on-demand cleanup. Note: True "antivirus" means real-time protection; on-demand scanners like Malwarebytes, TotalAV Free, or AdwCleaner are great boosters but not full AVs – pair them with...
