Hello everyone, Last night I was on a site that I usually use from time to time to read comics, and when I clicked on one to read, it opened a new tab and was telling me that there was a new Media player update ready. Then my File Explorer app opened to my downloads wanting to save something onto there. I clicked cancel closed the Brave Browser, disconnected from my wifi for a bit, then scanned my PC with Malwarebytes (the free edition) and Windows Security multiple times, and then I checked my downloads or any other recent file that may have gotten onto my PC. And through all of that, there w Continue reading...

Is PC MATIC preventing my computer from rebooting properly?
by Guest anglena shopia- 0 replies
- 36 views
I attempted to restart my Microsoft Surface with Windows 10 (I was having network problems, and already restarted the router to no avail), but somewhere along the rebooting steps, my device's display went black and was consistently flashing a quick blue screen. I forced a shut-down after waiting some time for a change, and only got a black screen with a spinning wheel and a blinking cursor. This continued to be the result of a normal forced shutdown and a normal powering-up the device.A few days prior to this incident, I downloaded PC Matic and ran a scan. The Scan turned up Continue reading...

Thanks WUS programming team for just slamming that REALLY IMPORTANT update you just had to spontaneously reboot for, ruining a long and a (hopefully fruitful) long detection sequence and correction routine. (MSERT was running 144 hours with 1033 detections) and 99 % complete only to be shut down by some juvenile programming... I did set 'do not restart'.Truly blessed I spent my whole career with Windows development since 1990. I guess I need to stop Defender from a FULL scan next. Move back to NT 4 SP6 routines.Just jack any computer as you please. And close down MSERT work and anything else o Continue reading...

updater.exe
by Guest De la Garza- 0 replies

Every time I turn on my Windows 11, Windows PowerShell will open itself 4 times, I'll get another pop up from Windows Installer and it says, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer page." Then I'll get a 6th pop up that says, "Do you want to allow Updater.exe make changes to your laptop?" I usually put no; in fear it may be a virus. But how do I get rid of this it's scaring me Continue reading...

Microsoft Defender (101.70.18) Problem on MacOS 12.4
by Guest Gideon Simpson- 0 replies
- 38 views
For the second time in a month, I've had Defender behave very strangely, where it tries to install an update, it can't successfully install it, then it won't let me restart the machine. I did a hard reset so my machine would launch, and it functions, but Defender does not. When I launch it manually, after some time, I get:If I do an update on my O365 installation, it sees that Defender is out of date and tries to update to 101.70.19, but it fails too: Continue reading...

Spam / quarantine user notifications

hello, trying to set up daily spam / quarantine notifications for our users. Not sure if this was just never set up or broke somewhere along the line. All the alerts point at TenantAdmin but that group doesn't even exists. so created that.So I followed the instructions I could find online but between using some "older" setting that MS says are or will be deprecated and new process from them which seems convoluted, we can't get it to work. we create a notification policy under quarantine policies. and then assigned them to the threat policies. but so far nothing. haven't seen one notific Continue reading...

Witam. 12 czerwca moje konto zostało skradzione, w jednej sekundzie dostałem maila o usunięciu mojego numeru telefonu i aplikacji weryfikującej tożsamość. Dostałem również maila o tym, że adres e-mail został zmieniony na jakiś inny. Nie miałem czasu na zareagowanie i od tego czasu nie mam dostępu do tego konta. Gdy próbowałem się zalogować, pokazywała się informacja, że konto pod starym adresem e-mail nie istnieje, natomiast gdy wpisywałem zmienionego maila, to pokazywała się informacja, że została wysłana wiadomość do weryfikacji konta. Po pierwsze jest to niebezpieczne dla mojej prywatności, Continue reading...
