How do I get microsoft to recognize that Thunderbird mail client is ok?Since July 15, 2022, I get warnings of severe threats that are associated with running my Thunderbird mail client. This happens 3 or 4 times a week. Typically, I start my computer in the morning (no virus threat detected), and then start Thunderbird about 30 minutes later. By looking at "protection history," I found this info:file: C:\Users\johnh\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\j0izrn2l.default\ImapMail\mail.ecentral.com\INBOX-1The actions that I am allowed are to "restore" or "remove" this file. I don't know if I Continue reading...

Where do I begin to defend this scenario? I am under constant attack by individuals that are using my wi-fi to access my Marvell Yukon fiber optic dsl where they set up a Network boot using a pxs I think it's called. When I started my pc they could have whatever shell programs loaded to attack my system and take it over. So far I have tried Malwarebyts which could actually slow them down for a day or two. Most programs don't even show as much as a warning sign. I have used Ccleaner, Avast , and Norton and could find traces where they had been hacked and used to help the hackers.But their ha Continue reading...

by Guest Pierre Angelo1- 0 replies

I hope someone out there can put my mind at rest. I have a 6 months' old Asus laptop. I have downloaded successfully Windows 11 S mode. However, too often I am asked to run a quick virus and protection scan, which takes forever. I always manually check Windows update. Is my laptop at risk if I browse the Internet safely by doing for example online banking even though I am told that Windows needs a scan?Secondly, in my protection options, the Cloud delivered protection and the automatic sample submission are both turned on but there is a yellow warning triangle saying that they are off. If I cl Continue reading...

Mysterious .SES file in Temp folder
by Guest RamyA.- 0 replies
- 100 views
I accidentally came across a mysterious file in the \AppData\Local\Temp folder. It doesn't have a name but the extension .SES with the size of 1 KB. I noticed that it refreshes itself every 10 minutes exactly, where it keeps the same name and file size but the Modified Date changes to the current time. I Googled the file extension and supposedly it's related to Adobe Audition in some way. I never installed Adobe Audition per se, but I do have multiple Adobe programs installed on my Windows 10 computer. So it isn't unlikely that a different Adobe app could have generated this file. I have no wa Continue reading...

Hi, I've been trying to install FModel but it just won't let me for some reason. I've checked the Norton logs and they said they allowed it so what's the issue here? what do I do?

Wacatac.B!ml trojan malware found by Windows Defender...remediation incomplete
by Guest BobEllisTN- 0 replies
- 81 views
2 days ago, Windows Defender indicated it found Wacatac.B!ml on my system, but remediation was incomplete. The path of the file it listed is C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Healthy\Healthy.exe. I ran Windows Defender, MalwareBytes(Free version), and Zemana Antimalware (free version), and none indicated any malware. The file is still on my system at the same location. I saw in Task Manager EIGHT entries for Healthy.exe. All were disabled, but the memory usage for each entry varies, but each is from 1036K up to 97,584K. I researched Wacatac.B!ml on the web, and one of the articles state:"He Continue reading...
