I think if you are typing over an https connection via a browser you may have some protection
-MilesAhead (April 25, 2018, 10:40 AM)

Nope.

https://privatebrowsingmyths.com/

https protects the information that is being transmitted.  not the nature of the transmission.  And that data is still not secure, especially if they use a proxy.  Best practice?  Pretend that it's all open, and don't do anything that you don't want anyone to see.

Now I'm going to guess that Deozaan uses Chrome?
-4wd (April 24, 2018, 03:38 PM)

Yep. I'm using Vivaldi, which is Chrome-based.

But note that it wasn't Chrome/Vivaldi that flagged it for me. It was Windows Defender's real-time protection.
-Deozaan (April 24, 2018, 04:43 PM)

There goes that idea, was hoping you'd say Chrome.

Now it's even stranger since we're both using Vivaldi and Defender on the same file and yet I don't get any hit from Defender, even when I scan it after download.

Makes absolutely no sense ...
-4wd (April 24, 2018, 06:50 PM)

If it makes you feel better, I'm using Chrome, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes, and none of them gave any indication.

I installed Jdowloader2 and this horrible software changed my Firefox search engine to horrible bing.com!
I wonder how can I revert it back and what other 'alterations' it made to my system??
-kalos (April 22, 2018, 12:19 PM)
Were you not change (back) the default search engine and home page yourself (?)

And can you elaborate on the 'fake google results'?
-tomos (April 24, 2018, 02:51 PM)


I've seen it before on infected systems.  They hijack any searches to do it on another platform and make it look pretty similar to google.  Changing the search engine doesn't change this; it's an extension/plugin/BHO.

I changed that in the prior post to not be link, because archive.is shows it linking to some sketchy sites.  I'll leave it, but you might want to look at using a more reputable site to host your downloads- perhaps even just attach it here?

It scans through the url doesn't it?

Just in case, I downloaded it, and scanned the file (Install JDownloader.rar) with Malwarebytes.  Nothing.

I then uploaded that to virustotal.

https://www.virustot...211b7d581f/detection

There are a few, but I think it's a heuristic failure or something, looking at the results.  It does have adware in it, apparently, which might as 4wd put it, cause the symptoms stated if installed.

I don't care enough to go further than that.

ClipMate also can't search for S'Mores, which is a problem for me but probably not most users!

I wondered how long it would take for some enterprising soul to make this into a well-produced game.  Answer... not long.

In a campaign by Mike Mesnick (of TechDirt) on kickstarter- you too can play a game that was used to train CIA Agents!

I actually use ClipboardFusion.  CH&S is a great application, but for my uses, CF works better (clipping across several machines/devices, and removing formatting from clips are the largest ones)

Think of it in terms of the others, not just yourself.  You have to do the due diligence, and this will help you to learn, and help others to want to help you.  As it is, you say "I want, I want, I want..." and never "I learned, and maybe someone else can benefit from this."  (And the added benefit of no wasted time/effort for those that try to help you.

Or, you can do the harder thing and just ignore his requests, if you don't think it will come to anything.  He can make as many requests as he wants to.  We don't have to answer him.  And we certainly don't have to make fun of his responses.

This.  So much this.  People look at web vs desktop as if it's a static decision.  It's very much based on use case, IMO.

Living Room / Re: Any way to detect and block spoofed phone numbers?
« Last post by wraith808 on April 20, 2018, 09:45 AM »
The FCC issued a Consumer Alert about the current spoofing epidemic last month.

Don't expect them to do much about it though. Here's the official FCC guide to protecting yourself from spam calls. Not much help there, although they do provide links to most carriers' pages on the topic.

I simply let all numbers that are not in my phone book go through to voicemail, and if it's a legitimate caller, I'll call back.  Google Voice is great for this since it provides text transcriptions of most messages, so I don't even have to listen to them to know if I should respond.
-xtabber (April 20, 2018, 09:13 AM)


So much this.  I found the same alerts when searching, but they were so useless that I didn't bother to post them.  :-\ Google voice is a boon, and I have separate numbers for my home e-mail address linked to my phones live, and my main e-mail address, which isn't linked to anything that I use whenever someone requests my phone number.
