RANSOMWARE CAN MAKE OUR ANTIVIRUS WORTHLESS

-

Antivirus is that software that fight against all the odds, fight against virus and stop them entering in your device so that your device stay safe and data confidential. But if we don’t keep the best antivirus software in our device and not update it time to time than any virus can easily enter our device and make antivirus worthless.

Ransomware makes antivirus worthless
Having an antivirus in Windows is not only recommended but is almost essential, although Windows Defender can suffice in many situations. However, total protection does not exist, as the newly discovered ransomware demonstrates, with the potential to uninstall the antivirus and thus leave the way to act.

This new type of ransomware is still in development, because as security experts have been able to verify for Bleeping Computer, it does not achieve its objective. It cannot uninstall the antivirus -not all, of course- or encrypt the files. It also lacks instructions to pay the ransom, although in its sector it can be described as promising.

The danger of this malware is not the damage it can do, but what could happen if it creates school and becomes a model for the next generation of computer hijackings. That the next versions of ransomware can uninstall the antivirus before encrypting the files on your PC is not at all reassuring.

In addition to being ransomware, it could also be used as specific malware to delete certain files, given its potential to find and locate software to uninstall.

It could achieve its goal even without the user being aware that they are under attack by simply disabling the antivirus temporarily or simply uninstalling it completely. Its evolution and possible use will have to be closely followed, although surely malware developers are already aware of it and are trying to take advantage of it.

Another obvious twist is that companies that promote, both the free antivirus and paid one too, study it to understand how it works and how to prevent it from achieving its goal in the future. It is the eternal virus-antivirus cycle in computing repeating itself once again.

Ransomware virus is a dangerous virus and its development is affecting the present antivirus in your device by uninstalling it. So, to stay ahead of this type of virus that affects your antivirus directly or indirectly for that we should use some strong and well developed antivirus, and install it in devices, that can’t be affected by ransomware and it’s get null or ineffective while there is antivirus in your device.

Secure Your Wi-Fi Network Wi-Fi is that the most convenient thanks to hook up with the web, especially if you would like to attach quite one device in your home. However, make sure your Wi-Fi network is secure. This involves: Using encryption, preferably Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) because it's the strongest. You should be ready to do that within the security settings. Change the router settings so that the SSID remains hidden and could not be found by potential hackers. Change the name of your network (the Service Set Identifier or SSID) so that hackers cannot guess the manufacturer of the router. Making sure to use a strong password to gain access to your network.

The Internet today allows companies to break down many barriers. The first is the barrier to entry in relation to larger businesses. And it is that although a few years ago small companies were destined to a small growth and to advance with their products only to the market that was geographically closest to them, today an SME can literally compete as equals and sell anywhere in the world 24×7, with the same capacity. In fact, the trend in the medium term is the emergence of micro-multinationals, SMEs that focus on a global market. All can go out into the world. Using the internet in the company also facilitates teleworking and increases productivity within the company, making it efficient and turning its service into a remote one. That it can be handled from anywhere in the world, the trend indicates, that you must become independent of any ties right now. It seems like magic, but no, the internet is a tool that, well used, can be very beneficial for a company. Focus and find the be...
