The Anti-virus Times

"In June 2020, the attackers began using a new domain name—sports[.]manhajnews[.]com."
"The email text clearly indicated that the author is not a native Russian speaker."

"The country of origin for an email is defined by the IP address of the sender and not by any characteristics specified in the message."

"Our anti-spam feature prevents users from receiving emails in Asian languages" [Niuxin]

Spam with an optical sight

Not supposedly from NSA? Was the news supposedly reliable? [Niuxin]

Just don’t tell Bill Gates

There's no need for panic if you do not use cracks. [Niuxin]

Playing hide and seek in the sandbox: Dr.Web vxCube’s capabilities

The Dr.Web vxCube service is good, no doubt, but ... you need to pay for everything good ... (well, of course, of course, how can you do without it ...) pay!
And only cheese is free in places known to all ... [GREEN]

Email addresses and addressees

"But there are still some features that are free! The restrictions we listed are, in most cases, configured on the mail server and are set by network administrators. You can also configure restrictions in our solutions for UNIX mail servers ..."
Not bad recommendations, but for a huge number of small (almost complete absence of both mail servers and sysadmins) and most of the medium-sized companies (which, as a rule, have both) this is hardly applicable, since this requires desire manuals and tough admin. measures, and not everyday slovenliness and indifference ("well, this will never happen to us").
That's when the roasted rooster bites, then ... (laugh?). [GREEN]

Spam with an optical sight

MAIL - it is like that, it is mysterious. You wait for a letter, you wait, but it's still not there and not (although who is writing letters now, maybe only the Federal Tax Service or the traffic police?). Moreover, electronic. there is also SPAM in the load, and to it (lately !?) and viruses to boot :)
And I would be glad to refuse, but there is nowhere to go! All third-party communication goes, as a rule, via e-mail ...

So it turns out:
“If you bite off on one side, you will grow up, on the other, you will decrease ... On the one side of what? And on the other side of what ?! " [GREEN]

Just don’t tell Bill Gates

Windows 10 is spyware it restricts the users ability to control their own computer system. Games you buy do not belong to you they belong to Steam. Day by day they are restricting your very freedoms large corporations want to control you want to control your everyday life. The established media news is propaganda fake news.

Your Internet providers are tracking every move you make on the Internet on behalf of government entities. You do not even own your own computer system Intel ( ME ). Antivirus products know more about you than your own family do.

The corporations are constantly telling you what you can and cannot do. If your antivirus product wishes to restrict what you do then they are no longer working to protect you they are in the pocket of the large corporations.

It is not the business of antivirus products, to be telling the users what they can and cannot do they the users are the paying customers. If you want to go and work for Microsoft then do so and get out of the antivirus business. Antivirus products are not should not be there to police you the user. They should do what they are paid to do. Nobody is going to pay to have a snooping policeman going under the name of an antivirus product..

If everybody did as they were told then antivirus products would quickly go out of business.

Use a separate computer for so-called piracy software and that computer should not have any Internet connection ever. This should be used for nothing other than for that software.
It should be always considered a contaminated computer system. The software should be transferred over to that contaminated computer by either DVD or a "ShareCentre."

EXE com scripts cannot contaminate a computer unless they are run on that computer. One-way traffic on a "ShareCentre" is very easy to do.
Root kits worms and so on need to be able to see the clean computer to contaminate it.

Remember piracy is illegal the same as freedom of expression.

I come from the U.K. part of the Five Eyes, where every citizen is spied on. Where you can be arrested for wrong speech. [Philip]
