Windows 10: Windows Security Support Article Totally Inaccurate

Just read the following Microsoft article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4013263/windows-10-stay-protected-with-windows-security


This article is totally inaccurate. It is discussing Windows Security yet describing Windows Defender.


"If you have another antivirus app installed and turned on, Windows Security will turn off automatically". No it won't. Windows Defender will turn off automatically but Windows Security will remain active.


This article is so inaccurate and misleading, it needs either to be taken down or completely re-written.

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.

help.... detected objects on my kaspersky total security 2016

Hi:

The link for Kaspersky support is here (the BLUE text is a clickable link to their support site):

Having said all that, it appears from your screen shots that all you really need to do is to uninstall the outdated version of Flash Player for Firefox and the outdated version of Shockwave Player. A total of 4 mouse clicks are all that's needed.

(NOTE: this has nothing to do with Flash Player for IE, for Edge, or for Chrome.)
(ALSO: It appears that the 7Zip detection may be a "False Positive", as I get the same item on my own system. You may either use the "Exclusion" button, or ignore the detection, or report it as a possible False Positive to Kaspersky.)

STEP 1:
Picture #1 below shows how to uninstall them -- it is taken from MY computer, to illustrate how to do it.





Picture #2 below shows the 2 applications on YOUR computer to uninstall:

• Click on "Adobe Flash Player 23 NPAPI", then click the "uninstall" button
  
• Then click on "Adobe Shockwave Player 12.2", then click the "uninstall" button

STEP 2:
Reboot (restart) the computer.

STEP 3:
Run a manual KTS vulnerability scan.

STEP 4:
Post a screen shot of the new KTS vulnerability scan.

Thank you,
MM
