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...
Where is Ransomware? Ransomware can be found everywhere. We thought that the well known file-encrypting ransomware, as known as CryptoLocker, was over and done with after law enforcement knocked out its infrastructure last year, but CryptoLocker , as well as other variations of malware, are back. 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...
ShadowExplorer (www.shadowexplorer.com) is an awesome application which I’ve used as a PC Technician many times in the past. It is used to provide a graphical ‘front-end’ interface for a rather complicated command line utility called VSSADMIN.EXE (an internal Windows component) which handles “Volume Shadow Copies” of files made by Windows. These are sort of ‘backups’ in a sense and the Volume Shadow Copy service in Windows is indeed used by various backup software to accomplish backup tasks....
#1 Question: Will this protect against new ‘Crypto’ malware such as CryptoDefense, CryptoWall, etc., and their newer v2, v3, and future variants? A number of new CryptoLocker clones have emerged that can also be prevented by CryptoPrevent. The majority of these are protected against by default protections with their older versions, but newer variants are coming out that can only be stopped by the Maximum Protection + Program Filtering (BETA) option, which uses a definitions based system to keep current with...

dFunk is the re-incarnation of MalwareScan, a utility which originally began life known as the original d7 – which had little to nothing to do with automating 3rd party utilities, but focused on registry and file system locations where ad/spy/malware would hide. d7/MalwareScan – now dFunk was created to assist the technician who MANUALLY removed viruses/malware, and MANUALLY cleaned up a system when finished. It wasn’t about 3rd party automation, but rather aggregation. The automation...
CryptoPrevent v7.3.x brings some new features, more clarity on protection levels, and improved protection! First, CryptoPrevent now supports SSL/TLS encryption and StartTLS for your SMTP server settings! This enables support for a wider variety of SMTP servers, allowing users requiring this level of encryption to configure their email alert functionality. Previously only SSL was supported. Second, CryptoPrevent’s experimental “Program Filtering” has reached BETA status. Program Filtering compares executable files to a hash based definitions...

Changes in v7.0: NEW simplified and easy to understand interface, replacing the many obscurely labeled protection option check boxes with a few simple protection “levels” to select from (the old interface still exists in the Advanced menu, and it has been updated as well.) Updated to not trigger Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detections with the installed version (thanks to the MBAM research team.) Improved Filter Module function. Changed recommended defaults slightly. Enabled optional “Experimental Protection” level (the Experimental EXE/COM settings in the Filter...
Yes, another “d” product! dBug is a tiny utility that serves the same purpose as KillEmAll, to neutralize malware that prevents you from running anti-malware tools, while taking a far different approach and working much faster. dBug does NOT locate or remove malware. It merely provides you with the opportunity to run anti-malware tools or manually find and remove the malware. More info + video + download here: https://www.d7xtech.com/vb6-projects/dbug/
