The Danger of some Chinese Websites: Baidu and Tencent! I got the first real infection on Windows 10 today in the morning while searching for some special drivers on Taiwanese and China Websites. Firstly, a very short living screen was popping up and say that I could work while installing! Just a matter of 2-3 sec and that screen were gone. immediately opened the Taskmanager and looked for suspicious apps and saw that Tencent. Tried to end process: IMPOSSIBLE!! 5 instances were running beside of an other of Baidu! Ok, stopping impossible, and so to delete in ProgramFiles x86 newly shown Tencent and Baidu Folders! So, I restarted the Machine, now not booting from internal HDD, was booting from USB HDD with Windows 10. Iuse to have one USB3 HDD with Windows 10 Enterprise, special created with apps for problems as this new one. First thing I did were to set the internal System HDD to Online stage (normally in Win2Go the internal HDD's are offline) and delete all folders I found on the System HDD, and those were located at: ProgramFiles x86 Program Data Users, several instances That deletion could only be done as Administrator! Further, I opened Registra Registry Manager Pro 7.75 and searched for all entries of either Tencent and Baidu and eleted all of them. That were a total of more then 500 entries!! After that, I restarted the computer from internal System HDD, and opened Regedit as Admin and seraches again for Tencent and Baidu, Reason are very easy, if use a external Registration Editor and change and/pr delete something, there will be a new Reg-Folder in Local Machine called Undo, which contains all infose delete withg the 3.party apps. Again, all those I deleted one by one because It couldn't be done at once like in Registra Registry Manager, just to avoid that those entries could come back!! OK, my machine is backl in normal stage and works with no problems. I just posted this as reminder of the danger of some chinese websites. Last time I had such problems, is a few years ago on Windows 8.1, also with Baidu. And this Tencent is owned by Baidu!
Sure! A driver for the HDD Case Staray S2 Series from Stardom, Raidon in Taiwan. It's a older 2.5" HDD Enclosurer with Fingerprint and IDE Interface. My customer had lose that Driver and RFaidon didn't provide that driver, told: Not more available!!
Yes and NO, not available! Problem is, if the driver for the Fingerprint apps couldn't be installed, you couldn't get access to the HDD's content, just to a small partition of 20MB!! And there some important data on the HDD of my customer.
Just to clarify: I posted just about the bad outcome from those Chinese Websites, to warn other, who may interested to know that and/or have such experiences as well! That problem with the driver, I explained only because Tito was asking for it!
Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit is your friend https://www.malwarebytes.org/antiexploit/ Note: This is not Malwarebytes Anti-Malware or a substitute for an antivirus
Simple to say, but impossible to achieve while online. Your argument would require everyone to unplug their computer. Even Facebook was hacked once. There is no telling at any given moment on which site is safe or not. Because everything online is a risk. The sooner more people learn that; the sooner more people will take their security seriously.
Don't turn UAC off then, and programs won't be able to install themselves without your permission PEBKAC error
dude all does Chinese sites are booby trap...did he find the driver no.....all found their was a virus.
had some of that stuff go after bios on mother board got a junk os, win 7 ultimate on old hard drive its for goofy stuff, kind that should not be run so, would think its isolated from my main raid and system stuff no, no this one thingy started installing a bunch of junk, then a cmd prompt opened, slic injector started up. apparently was going for bios on mother board have several bios chips for mother board, so it could easy be replaced on the board, as chip socket is up front, no need to remove mother board when that cmd prompt opened up on screen, pressed power off button bios seems to be okay, as several utility's were run, compared to a previously save bios file, shows no changes my 2 cents Charl
I have malwarebytes, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit , Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware, This scared me I turned UAC back on, should I
u search in worst place, what made u think the driver was in their im sure that driver is in the net some were in some huge driver archive u just have to look in the right place. good luck
