#avg antivirus security

[foxpunk]

would like to make a note for mac users: if you can help it do not use avira. it's owned by the same parent company as avast (and avg. both are notorious for shit business ethics, shit customer privacy protection, and shit bloatware). gen digital is good at taking your money and bad at protecting you and it is on purpose lmao. please use malwarebytes it works on mac just fine. if you're broke like me and are fairly tech savvy (or willing to experience a learning curve) use clamAV

Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:

Replacing a HDD with an SSD

Adding RAM

Graphics cards if you're nasty

Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)

Customizing what runs on startup for your computer

Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:

Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin

adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading

Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too

Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:

Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.

Correcting disk utilization errors

Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:

Clearing cache and cookies on your browser

Restarting the computer

Changing your screen resolution

Uninstalling unused browser extensions

Things that do not actually make your computer faster:

Deleting files

Registry cleaners

Defragging your drive

Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.

This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.

Is Free Truly Free - Analyzing AVG Antivirus

[adamblansett]

Security – An Ethical Hacker?

If an online company is large enough they might consider the services of a white hat hacker. Typically when you hear the word ‘hacker’ it conjures up someone who, with ill intent, searches for ways to mine your company data and destroy or replace data. However, a white hat hacker is someone who could use their abilities to harm your business, but they make the choice to help uncover security…

Do I want this for some reason? I don't think I asked for it and I'm creeped out

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVG_AntiVirus#Controversy:

"As of 2014, there are numerous reports dating back to 2012 that the AVG SafeGuard Toolbar installs itself without the consent of the user, as a side effect of installing other applications. The toolbar program appears to cause significant RAM issues and can be considered an intrusive potentially unwanted program (PUP). Once installed, the AVG toolbar is virtually impossible to remove. The toolbar uninstaller does not function, instead re-installing the add-on if manually removed. Consequently, many discussions and blog posts have described complex procedures for removal of the AVG toolbar, each with very mixed results." Jesus Christ, I see, no I think I will not "finish setting up [my] protection".

"In September 2015, AVG announced that it would start tracking users for profit, analyzing their data for sale to the advertising industry. This measure received criticism" ...of course.

"In December 2015, the AVG Web TuneUp Google Chrome extension (automatically installed with AVG AntiVirus) was revealed to contain multiple critical security vulnerabilities. [...] allowed a user's mail from "mail.google.com" to be read by any website, or financial information to be read from the user's online banking site." Uhhhhhh....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVG_AntiVirus#Reception:

"AVG Antivirus Free 2012 was selected as PC Magazine Editors' Choice in the free antivirus category. AVG AntiVirus Free 2015 received the Editor Choice badge of SoftChamp." lol wtf??? (I mean, okay, maybe PC Magazine didn't know any better in 2012, but what's up with SoftChamp in 2015? Are they also extremely sketchy?)

Booooooooooo!

Beware of this new Android malware that empties your bank account, clears your device completely

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/16/beware-of-this-new-android-malware-that-empties-your-bank-account-clears-your-device-completely/

Beware of this new Android malware that empties your bank account, clears your device completely

There’s been a spike in malware hitting Android phones, and the latest one, called BingoMod, might be the scariest yet. This malware can steal money from your accounts and then wipe your phone clean. Using on-device fraud techniques, it can swipe up to $16,000 in one go. And the worst part? This isn’t even the final version. Researchers say the creators are working on adding more features to make sure it doesn’t get detected.GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS – SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER – THE CYBERGUY REPORT HEREAccording to researchers at Cleafy, the malware is a remote access trojan (RAT), meaning an attacker uses it to gain full remote access to your Android phone. The malware enters your phone as an app, which is distributed through smishing (SMS phishing) campaigns.The malicious app often masquerades as a legitimate antivirus application with names like APP Protection, Antivirus Cleanup, Chrome Update, InfoWeb, SicurezzaWeb, WebSecurity, WebsInfo, WebInfo, and APKAppScudo. The Cleafy report noted that, in one instance, it also imitated the free AVG AntiVirus & Security tool available on Google Play. We reached out to Google, and a spokesperson provided the following statement.”Based on our current detection, no apps containing this malware are found on Google Play. Android users are automatically protected against known versions of this malware by Google Play Protect, which is on by default on Android devices with Google Play Services. Google Play Protect can warn users or block apps known to exhibit malicious behavior, even when those apps come from sources outside of Play.”Once installed on your phone, BingoMod asks you to activate Accessibility Services, which should be taken as a red flag. When you grant access to Accessibility Services, you’re practically giving it access to everything on your phone.Once BingoMod has all the permissions it needs, its background functions start to act, aiming to provide sensitive data to the actors behind the malware. It uses a technique called keylogging to steal sensitive information displayed on the device screen or entered by you, such as login credentials or account balances. It can also intercept your messages to detect one-time passwords or authentication codes.To stop you from removing it from your phone, the malware blocks you from changing system settings, blocks certain apps and even uninstalls apps. But to cover its tracks, it lets attackers wipe the infected device, usually after a fraudulent transfer has been done.ANDROID BANKING TROJAN EVOLVES TO EVADE DETECTION AND STRIKE GLOBALLYResearchers believe BingoMod has yet to reach its full potential. The malware is still in its testing phase, and the hackers behind it are working to add more features. Cleafy researchers noted,”BingoMod is in a development phase, where developers are experimenting with obfuscation techniques to lower its detection rate against AV solutions. From the whole sample collected, what has emerged is the will to try multiple anti-analysis configurations rather than making the malware more complex in terms of functionalities.”ANDROID BANKING TROJAN MASQUERADES AS GOOGLE PLAY TO STEAL YOUR DATAWhile a remote access trojan is hard to detect and can be dangerous once it enters your phone, there are several things you can do to protect your data.1. Be cautious of phishing attempts: Be vigilant about messages and emails from unknown sources asking for personal information. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or providing sensitive details unless you can verify the legitimacy of the request.2. Have strong antivirus software: Android has its own built-in malware protection called Play Protect, but it’s not enough to stop all malicious software. Historically, Play Protect hasn’t been 100% foolproof at removing all known malware from Android phones. The best way to protect yourself from clicking malicious links that install malware that may get access to your private information is to have antivirus protection installed on all your devices. This can also alert you of any phishing emails or ransomware scams. Get my picks for the best 2024 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?3. Download apps from reliable sources: It’s important to download apps only from trusted sources like the Google Play Store. They have strict checks to prevent malware and other harmful software. However, even with the security measures provided by Google Play, downloading apps from the store does not guarantee 100% protection against malware or harmful software. Avoid downloading apps from unknown websites or unofficial stores, as they can pose a higher risk to your personal data and device. Never trust download links that you get through SMS.4. Use an identity theft protection service: Given the increasing sophistication of Android malware like BingoMod, using an identity theft protection service is a crucial step in safeguarding your personal information.Identity theft companies can monitor personal information like your Socia8l Security number, phone number and email address and alert you if it is being sold on the dark web or being used to open an account. They can also assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals. See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft.5. Be cautious with app permissions: Always review the permissions requested by apps before installation. If an app requests access to features that seem unnecessary for its function, it could be a sign of malicious intent. Do not give any app Accessibility permissions unless you really need to. Avoid granting permissions that could compromise your personal data.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE6. Monitor your accounts: If you think you have been affected by the banking trojan, regularly review your bank statements, credit card statements and other financial accounts for any unauthorized activity. If you notice any suspicious transactions, report them immediately to your bank or credit card company.7. Enable SMS notifications for your bank accounts: By enabling SMS notifications, you can monitor your accounts for any unauthorized transactions.8. Set up two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA is an extra shield that prevents hackers from accessing your accounts.9. Use strong and unique passwords: Create strong passwords for your accounts and devices and avoid using the same password for multiple online accounts. Consider using a password manager. A password manager can help you create and store strong, unique passwords for all your accounts, reducing the risk of password theft.10. Regularly update your device’s operating system and apps: Keeping your software up to date is crucial, as updates often include security patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities that could be exploited by trojans.11. Avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions: Public Wi-Fi networks can be insecure, making it easier for malware or hackers to intercept your data. When accessing sensitive information or conducting financial transactions, use a secure, private connection to protect your data.ANDROID USERS AT RISK AS BANKING TROJAN TARGETS MORE APPSAs scary as BingoMod sounds, staying vigilant is your best defense. Always be cautious about downloading apps from unknown sources or clicking on suspicious links in texts. Keep your device updated, use a trusted antivirus and be wary of any app asking for too many permissions. This malware might be evolving, but so are the ways to protect yourself.Do you check app permissions before installing? How do you decide which permissions are acceptable? … .

AVG VPN connectivity issues

AVG VPN is a popular choice for users looking to enhance their online privacy and security while browsing the internet. However, like any other VPN service, AVG VPN users may encounter connectivity issues from time to time. These connectivity issues can be frustrating, especially when they disrupt your internet activities.

One common cause of AVG VPN connectivity issues is an unstable internet connection. If your internet connection is weak or intermittent, it can affect the VPN's ability to establish a secure connection. In such cases, restarting your router or switching to a different network may help resolve the issue.

Another potential reason for connectivity problems with AVG VPN is server overload. When too many users are connected to the same VPN server, it can slow down the connection speed or even cause disconnections. Switching to a less congested server or using a dedicated IP address may improve your connection stability.

Additionally, outdated VPN software or conflicting applications on your device can also lead to connectivity issues. Make sure to regularly update your AVG VPN client and check for any conflicting programs that may be interfering with the VPN connection.

If you continue to experience connectivity problems with AVG VPN, reaching out to their customer support team for assistance is recommended. They can provide troubleshooting steps tailored to your specific issue and help you resolve any underlying issues causing the connectivity issues.

In conclusion, while AVG VPN is a reliable service for protecting your online privacy, occasional connectivity issues may arise. By troubleshooting the possible causes and following the necessary steps, you can ensure a smoother VPN experience.

Troubleshooting AVG VPN disconnects

If you're experiencing frequent disconnects with your AVG VPN, it can be frustrating and potentially compromise your online security and privacy. However, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve these issues and ensure a stable VPN connection.

Firstly, check your internet connection. A weak or unstable internet connection can cause VPN disconnects. Make sure you're connected to a stable and reliable network, preferably a wired connection if possible.

Next, try switching to a different VPN server. Sometimes, the server you're connected to may be experiencing high traffic or technical issues, leading to frequent disconnects. Switching to another server can often resolve this issue.

Update your AVG VPN client and operating system. Outdated software can sometimes lead to compatibility issues and instability. Make sure both your AVG VPN client and your operating system are up to date with the latest updates and patches.

Disable any firewall or antivirus software that may be conflicting with your VPN connection. Sometimes, third-party security software can interfere with VPN connections, causing disconnects. Temporarily disabling these programs can help diagnose and resolve the issue.

If you're still experiencing disconnects, try reinstalling the AVG VPN client. Corrupted installation files or settings can sometimes cause VPN issues. Reinstalling the VPN client can often resolve these issues and restore a stable connection.

Lastly, reach out to AVG's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or insights specific to your situation.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you can hopefully resolve any disconnect issues with your AVG VPN and enjoy a secure and uninterrupted browsing experience.

AVG VPN offers users reliable protection and privacy while browsing the internet. However, some users have reported encountering issues with the VPN automatically shutting down, which can compromise their online security. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to prevent AVG VPN from unexpectedly shutting down.

Firstly, ensure that your AVG VPN software is up to date. Developers often release updates to fix bugs and improve performance, so keeping your software current can help prevent automatic shutdowns. Check for updates regularly and install them promptly to avoid potential issues.

Secondly, check your internet connection. Instability or interruptions in your connection can cause the VPN to disconnect unexpectedly. Make sure you have a stable and reliable internet connection before using AVG VPN to prevent automatic shutdowns.

Additionally, adjust your AVG VPN settings to optimize performance. Some users have found that tweaking settings such as the connection protocol or server location can help prevent shutdowns. Experiment with different settings to find the configuration that works best for you.

Furthermore, consider disabling any third-party firewall or antivirus software that may be conflicting with AVG VPN. These programs can sometimes interfere with VPN connections, leading to automatic shutdowns. Temporarily disable them while using AVG VPN to see if it resolves the issue.

Lastly, reach out to AVG customer support for assistance if you continue to experience automatic shutdowns despite trying the above steps. They may be able to provide further troubleshooting tips or escalate the issue for resolution.

AVG VPN keeps disconnecting solutions

Dealing with a VPN that keeps disconnecting can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to maintain online privacy and security. If you're experiencing frequent disconnections with AVG VPN, here are some potential solutions to troubleshoot the issue.

Check Your Internet Connection: Instability in your internet connection can cause VPN disconnections. Ensure that you have a stable and strong internet connection before using AVG VPN.

Try Different Servers: Sometimes, the server you're connected to may be experiencing high traffic or technical issues. Switching to a different server within AVG VPN's network could resolve the disconnection problem.

Update AVG VPN: Ensure that you're using the latest version of AVG VPN. Developers often release updates to fix bugs and improve performance, including addressing connectivity issues.

Disable Firewall/Antivirus: Your firewall or antivirus software could be blocking AVG VPN connections, causing frequent disconnections. Temporarily disable these programs and see if the issue persists.

Change VPN Protocol: AVG VPN offers different VPN protocols like OpenVPN, IKEv2, and L2TP/IPSec. Try switching between these protocols to see if any provide a more stable connection.

Resolving AVG VPN constantly turning off

Dealing with AVG VPN continually switching off can be frustrating, especially when you're relying on it for secure internet access. However, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve this issue and ensure uninterrupted VPN service.

Firstly, ensure that your AVG VPN software is up to date. Developers often release updates to address bugs and improve performance, so installing the latest version may resolve any underlying issues causing the VPN to disconnect.

Next, check your internet connection. A weak or unstable connection can cause VPNs to disconnect frequently. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network or using a wired connection to see if the problem persists.

Additionally, check your device's power settings. Some devices may automatically disable VPNs to conserve battery life or optimize performance. Adjusting your power settings to allow VPN connections to remain active can help prevent it from turning off unexpectedly.

Another common culprit for VPN disconnections is conflicting software or settings. Ensure that there are no other VPN or security software running on your device that may interfere with AVG VPN. Similarly, check your firewall settings to ensure that AVG VPN is allowed to establish a connection.

If you're still experiencing issues, try changing the VPN server you're connecting to. Sometimes, certain servers may be experiencing high traffic or technical difficulties, causing frequent disconnections. Switching to a different server can help alleviate this problem.

Lastly, if none of the above solutions work, consider reaching out to AVG's customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide personalized troubleshooting steps or escalate the issue to their technical team for investigation.

By following these steps, you can hopefully resolve the issue of AVG VPN constantly turning off and enjoy seamless, secure internet access.
