Hi,

My iPhone just recently go hit by a spam or virus, don't know which.  But started noticing the message "iphone virus protection expired" in my calendar and no way of deleting the event.  Eventually I did get to delete it.  And that's where my great experts come in.  In early morning I did noticed that my iPhone calendar popped up a "suscribe" message and I clicked it assuming it was part of the work I was doing, but now I know it wasn't.  Just some time back I I start seeing in my calendar "iphone virus protection expired" with no hope of deleting.

I googled the problem and found that by deleting the created account in "Password & Accounts", that would resolved (and it seem it did, no more event).  Prior deleting the account I noticed a long line starting with arisinglytos.pro then a long random numbers etc.

So a couple questions:

• How is it that just by clicking on Subscribe, the the "virus or spam" had access to my Password & Accounts in iPhone 11 ios13.3?

• By deleting the account, am I done? Is it solved? Anything else to do?

• What is arisinglytos.pro?

where specifically would there be clues in a Office365 mailbox or logs associated with Office365 if any mail which has hit the mailbox contained malware? And what actual impact that malware has had, e.g. forwarded sensitive information from the mailbox outside.

Is it common/plausible that malware via email could then leak other emails from the account out to another address etc.

I just realized that by installing MalwareBytes Premium, it disabled Windows Defender so I'm now relying strictly on malwarebytes.

I'm somewhat uneasy about that.

Is it safe to better to use Malwarebytes Premium in always-on-mode and no Windows defender?
Or, better to use windows defender always-on and periodic manual scans with malwarebytes?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mikel

think I got ransomeware. files on flash drive showing ext.domn today when I checked it on a lab computer. I’m scared to plug it in another pc in case that pc gets infected. is there anyway to fix this ?

We have quite a handful (about 3 dozen) staff who bring our corporate laptops to
our China branch & they're based there for months.  We enable local admin for
them (as sometimes when they're there, they need to install certain softwares as
 there's no PC/end-user support there) & we enable their laptops to connect to
hotel/public places' Wifi.

They'll often VPN back to the local head-office here to join our domain for Intranet
services and this is when their PCs are found to have malwares or when they are
back here locally, their PCs were found to have numerous malwares: we never
know what happen that why their PCs' AV signatures are not updated while they're
in China.

I'm proposing an apps whitelisting (that some of our critical PCs are mandated to
have) installed as AV is a 'blacklisting' solution while apps whitelistg is more effective
but my colleague supporting apps whitelisting has concern below:

"Not really suitable. Gotta be connected to vpn at least 2 hrs for baseline to complete, n if sth really breaks and they cant initiate vpn back, the whole laptop is as good as totally disconnected from network already. High risk thing to do. Wont be able to remotely change app whitelist settings unless they manage to connect back to vpn network. Main worry is if user hit prob doing vpn. "


Q1:
Is the limitation/concern above valid & isn't there a way to overcome it?

Q2:
What other mitigations can we do for this group of users assuming we can't
take …

Good evening experts,
I believe that I have a virus within my Opera Browser. The symptom  is a non stop proliferation of popup ads on the bottom right side of the browser window. Below are examples of the continuous popups.

 

You get the picture!

I have tried Norton with lifelock, spyhunter, SUPERantiSpyware, and MalwareBytes.
I have reset opera to it's default values.
I have uninstalled Opera and re-installed.
I have checked for rogue taskschedular events.
I have looked for suspicious processes,startup items,services.
I have rebooted into safemode to see if I could remove Opera and re-install.


Nothing seems to work, because after a few minutes of browsing (msn, YouTube, Facebook, etc..), the popups re-appear. The popups don't make the Opera browser unusable, but it is annoying as hell to keep seeing the popups I attached and many many others that I didn't show you. The attachments were simply a means to show you how pervasive the popups are.

To be clear, Non of my other browsers, Chrome, Firefox, OperaGX, or Edge have this problem. I simply prefer using Opera. Plus I want to find the root cause of this pervasive annoyance. Even as I write this post, the popups are there.

I have researched on the net how to remove this issue manually , but it entails a detailed and complicated journey thru the taskschedular, …

I have Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (64-bit) laptop.  Was it shipped with anti-virus software?  If not, what anti-virus do I need to install?

How to run full anti-virus scan?

user claimed he clicked on email attachmt
for the AV alert below (his PC is Internet segregated) but I hv doubt:  wud an email attachmt save under ...windowscommunicationapps... ?

Threat location: C:\Users\johnnyr\AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Files\S0\1\Attachments\File[14327].doc
Threat name: Trojan.W97M.POWLOAD.SMAF3

Dear all,

My laptop (Microsoft Windows 10,  Enterprise 2016 LTSB, Build 14393). It's a Dell Latitude and a bit old but was working OK. Lately, it has been slow and displays erratic behaviors (strange processes, pop ups, power Shell down based on Event viewer, will come back to this in a second). Besides the Falcon Sensor Free trial and a paid version of Symantec End point protection, I've run different scans such as ESET  Online Scan, Restoro, I have done that for days with no luck so I think it could be a bad Windows 10 version.

Today when I checked the USERS folder in C, there was a new user! and there were traces of strange events on the event  viewer including the log on of this user (DAU1-2106).

On the other hand, I was installing Visual studio yesterday when the "log on" happened, can Visual Studio create a new user during installation?

I also tried identifying the username of the SID by using the wmic command in cmd and it was not found to be in the domain.



Please let me know if it's safe to attach the files on here as they can contain sensitive information of my network and user names, etc.


Thank you very much and I will check back in a few minutes.

Kind Regards,
D

Hi Experts,

I am trying to install the Windows 10 version 1903 update.

25% of the way I get a message:

What needs your attention:

Avast Antivirus
Uninstall this app because it isn't compatible with Windows 10

But Avast Antivirus is not installed.

Also I downloaded it (from Microsoft Store), installed it, then uninstalled it.

I still get the message:
Avast Antivirus
Uninstall this app because it isn't compatible with Windows 10

I cannot breakthrough this issue.

Regards,
Leigh

Hello, I have purchased a new Laptop with Windows 10 Pro.
This version of Windows has its own built-in AntiVirus Software. (Windows Security).
I am wondering if I need to install AVG or Trend or similar for full anti-virus protection or is Windows Security enough?
Thanks.
