Serious Discussion I had a wonderful experience yesterday, something that I have not encountered in over a decade!

So Last night while browsing I actually came across a data injection Trojan downloader that got caught by ESET! It's been over a decade since I had frame injection or any other form of attack that wasn't initiated by me (knowingly downloading a payload). WOW I felt honored!

When was the last time you'all came across a drive by and did your security suite responded?

That's quite an experience! It's been a while since I encountered a drive-by download, but my security suite always alerts me promptly. It's a reminder of how crucial good cybersecurity measures are.

Will Microsoft Defender catch this kind of attacks?

I just want to know what security @Bot is using that always alerts him/her to drive-by downloads, and how much a license is

I don’t remember, I think never.

Yes, I wanna deploy this promptly-alerting software too. Seems like a very proficient one.

That is the perfect example of AI "Dreaming"

But I peeked behind the curtain and it's Heimdal powered by Webroot and CYLANCEprotect. SO you know it's a bulletproof dream.

I would assume as soon as it hits your temp folder then it should, but honestly I can't answer.

I can show you the website where you can "test it" because it's still alive and well even after reporting it...so the operators are doing it on purpose.

fwiw, I just tried one of the browser tests and it was blocked by ZA Anti-Ransomware and by ESET Nod32.

Test Malware!

Each test will open up a new browser window at http://malware.wicar.org/. You may wish to try each test systematically. Ideally, all tests should be blocked by your anti-malware defences. If a blank...

It's been quite some time since I saw a drive by. Fake sites ,on the other hand, seem to be quite common nowadays. Last week I was checking a site I use for work and instead of typing the .gov (government) domain it uses, I typed .com... and behold. A site nearly identical to the official one just appeared on my screen. I reported the site

more than18 years ago.... AVG treated it nicely

drive-by, window-door-roof, or masked... Comodo's Auto-Containment "Penthouse" welcomes them in style and pampers them with a luxurious "Saw" treatment!

Had a compromised download of a sandboxing app about 8 years ago which I installed and then things went a bit weird. No real time AV installed as I was using white listing instead, so I have learnt the hard way. Anyway it wasn`t too severe as I was able to boot into safe mode, run secondary scanners and do a system restore.

So it`s real time AV all the way as you just can`t trust them dumbassed users to make the right decision
