How it works? A ransomware attack will go through five stages from the time it is installed on your computer, until you see the warning on your computer screen. Step One: INSTALLATION – After a victim’s computer is infected, the ransomware will installs itself, and sets keys in the Windows Registry to start automatically every time your computer boots up or restarts. Step Two: CONTACTING HEADQUARTERS – Before ransomware can affect you, it contacts a […]
Download Windows 10 as an .ISO here! Just a day into my recent marriage (to my one true friend and love for over 24 years,) we discuss the wedding ring philosophy (why have just one?)

HFFH – EP #7 posted with multiple tech guests, today’s show, and the lost show notes!
We just uploaded our recent HFFH #7 (full show) with Michael Lierman, founder of Invise Solutions! In this show we talk tech with Michael Lierman, founder of Invise Solutions (aka he who does NOT use d7II !) Michael has a lot to say in response to our question about finding the original point of infection, as well as general malware behavior. He also discusses how he juggles a company of 8 “employees” composed entirely of interns […]

Ransomware is a form of malware that will prevent you from having access to your files and even your computer. Then, it attempts to extort money from you in […]
dUninstaller update to v3.8 brings scripted remote config/defs updating!

Previously the SMTP account password was encrypted, but with the new capability of remote update from a […]
Don’t forget, we’re back today @ 2pm ET! www.d7xtech.com/live Today we’re going to have yesterday’s planned special guest who couldn’t make it — perhaps — and I’ll discuss the ideas I’ve been brewing (a direct result of yesterday’s content packed mini-show!) Question for the Techs out there (from show #6): Do you have any special tips or tricks at locating and recovering the specific source of a malware/virus infection (typically a trojan dropper)? So far, we know most droppers […]
