    Windows Security Not Functioning


    Hi. My windows defender has been malfunctioning for a week now and I just noticed it. I read some discussions similar to my case and followed some of the procedures. I just downloaded Malwarebytes and found out multiple existing malware and trojan files lurking on my laptop. I also read that the most efficient way to this problem is by conducting a "Repair Upgrade". But my question is that is it safe to conduct a repair upgrade on a laptop with just an SSD or should i take a precautionary measure and create a backup image system on an external drive before proceeding? Thanks!

    :)

    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

    SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    • Linux
    • Linux
    • Linux
    • Linux
    • Oh and OSX
    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
