Dear Sir/Madam, How's things?,I explored every free antivirus claim/s directly from their website and noticed they all are against another free antivirus by showing off their excellent results that's much higher than their rivals.I also went to the AV-Comparatives website to explore their 2022 findings and noticed no free antivirus had a copy cat result as another free antivirus ,but either lower or higher?.The results that got handed out for both of the Microsoft antiviruses is what i don't agree with ?.The W.D./M.D. results is showing a 100% detection rate and that' Continue reading...

I recently installed a few programs and later noticed there was a change in the browsers I use, chrome and edge, all my searches were redirected through an engine visible as mg.search.co. I reset both chrome and edge and removed the search engine from edge. I ran scans through hitmanpro, malwarebytes, adwcleaner , a few others and defender offline scan. They all found some files and removed, but I could not identify any of them as the culprit of the search redirects. Some of my searches still were being redirected by the unknown engine. Then i used Tronscript tool to fix anything that might be Continue reading...

Strange Popup Showing on the windows screen.
by Guest Gurnoor .- 0 replies
- 59 views
Hello Everyone, I bought this laptop roughly two weeks ago and I have been seeing random and useless popups on the bottom right corner of the windows screen. I've attached the pictures for reference. Further, after clicking on the popup, different links open which show different content regarding subscribing to McAfee Antivirus, Other viruses, and sometimes dead links. I'm guessing that the laptop has virus, but I don't know what kind of virus it holds. If anyone has any ideas, Please share your knowledge and provide feedback. Thanks.The links that open: Continue reading...

Hello to every IT professional or techie people here,Hope anyone can help me with my question please.

Hello. I have had a problem for about a week now that has caused all search engines not to work, although my internet is just fine. I've tried Bing, Microsoft Edge, Google, and DuckDuckGo, and none work. Now my Discord is giving me random speakers and Spotify is closing out. I think its a virus, but not sure how to get rid of it due to my search engines not working. I've used different DNS addresses, flushed DNS, got rid of add-ons, updated drivers, unplugged and replugged ethernet cords, restarted my devices numerous times, restarted my network, allowed Chrome through my firewalls, etc. Pleas Continue reading...

What happens if you rename a file extension to a ransomware extension?
by Guest Joe13 B-) 2.0- 0 replies
- 55 views
Hi,So I was reading about the SOVA ransomware when suddenly I started wondering about what would happen if I changed the file extension of a safe file to a ransomware's file extension (for example, picture.jpg converts to picture.djvu, the extension for one of the oldest variants of the STOP ransomware). Obviously, Google didn't show anything related to my doubt.I believe that the file won't actually become corrupt and wouldn't infect other files. Any insights? Thanks,Joe13 B-) 2.0(PS: apologies if this shouldn't be in the V&M forum, but I felt it's more apt.) Continue reading...

When trying to download the new patch for League of Legends I get this notification and the patch fails. When looking for this "HP sure sense service" app on my system it is nowhere to be found. I was hoping someone had a solution to either getting rid of HP Sure Sense Service entirely or where to find the controls for it, so I can whitelist what I choose. When trying to open HP Sure Sense from the hidden icons tab I get notified my system isn't supported. I get the same notification when trying to delete some of this HP bloatware. I've tried just about everything to get around this. Completel Continue reading...

by Guest Kharmela De Guzman- 0 replies
- 52 views
Another person has asked this before but there weren't any useful replies that I found. Anyway, this issue started a few months back when I was getting the error code 0x80070643 each time I tried updating the anti-virus on the Windows Defender. Now all I get is Engine Unavailable. I have found lots of suggestions for Windows 10 &11 and tried a few of them, but nothing seems to work. I'm getting really frustrated because all my efforts to try and fix it ends up being futile plus I feel like my laptop is now vulnerable to threats... Can someone help me please... it would be highly appreciate Continue reading...
