The engine monitors all file changes in real-time thus accurate detection and recovery are possible. This unique feature differentiates from conventional security software regardless of detection rate even in an environment where the internet is unavailable. While most analysis system relies on cloud assisted method, the revolutionary CARB engine can judge the damage done to a file by itself, this puts AppCheck in a unique position and advantage. This is the difference and advantage that CheckMAL's AppCheck provides all users!
Centralized Backup
AppCheck has a centralized backup/file protection component which backs up files before they can be encrypted, enabling AppCheck to undo most damage. AppCheck Free version will create the directory "C:\Backup(AppCheck) on the C: drive and the Paid version (AppCheck Pro) will create an additional directory "User specified folder\AutoBackup(AppCheck)" which is a "ransomware shelter" so as to ensure the backups are not encrypted when ransomware is present. AppCheck will defend your files on the onset/detection of ransomware by deleting affected (ransomware encrypted) files and then restores an original from the backup that it has. User can specify what to backup --Backup Source, Backup exceptions by folder, and Backup location. In addition to setting up scheduled backups, AppCheck Pro can make use of "Automatic Backup" which will coincide with the schedule set by the user.
Exploit Guard
AppCheck Exploit Guard provides proactive defense against both known and unknown (zero-day) exploits when opening a malicious website and documents. Thus, execution of any exploit from bugs and vulnerabilities in compromised applications are eliminated.
CheckMAL's AppCheck has a simple interface and is easy-to-use and, can be, essentially be an "install/forget" application for beginners. AppCheck comes in two variants: AppCheck Free version and Paid version -- AppCheck Pro. See comparison table below.
Latest build is AppCheck version 3.1.34.2 (18. Oct. 2023. 01:30 UTC)
Version 3.1.34.2 (18. Oct. 2023. 01:30 UTC)
- Improved an issue that caused applications to run slower after installing AppCheck.
- Fixed an error when saving certain applications.
- Enhanced AppCheck self-protection.

GFYI [Official] AirVPN Christmas 2023 Giveaway |

We at Geeks For Your Information are very pleased to announce our
AirVPN Christmas 2023 Giveaway!
We would like to thank AirVPN
for sponsoring us the giveaway prizes
Overview
AirVPN started their humble beginnings as a project in 2010 by a very small group of activists, hacktivists, with the invaluable (and it was totally free!) help of two fantastic lawyers and a financing from a company interested in the project and operated by the very same people.
Initially AirVPN had two dedicated servers in one country and was operated by Iridium, a company which was born in 1998 and that employed, in the telecommunication field, only persons involved in digital or non-digital civil activism. Iridium took care of AirVPN until November 2012, when all the handling was progressively transferred to a dedicated company (Air) with the very same persons and policies (no changes for the customers, for the privacy and for the data protection, even the privacy legal responsible person is the same one).
Today, AirVPN is operated exclusively by activists, privacy, data protection and security issues aware persons, law experts with the help of the same lawyers, and counts more than 200 servers with high bandwidth lines and good or top hardware in 35 datacenters across 19 countries in 3 continents. The solidity of the infrastructure is enhanced literally every week, so that most attacks (UDP and TCP flood, DDoS...) that caused service issues in the first AirVPN year of life now remain totally unnoticed to the users.
AirVPN Client - Eddie
Eddie is a free and open source (GPLv3) OpenVPN and WireGuard wrapper with additional features like:
- User-friendly UI
- Multiplatform support: Windows, macOS, Android, GNU/Linux (with particular effort to support a lot of distro) with multiple architectures: x64, x86, armv7i, aarch64 (Raspberry)
- Censorship counter-measures, like tunnel over SSH, over SSL, direct Tor integration
- Network lock / leak prevention
- Advanced options for DNS, routing, events, leak etc.
- Customizable actions triggered by events
- CLI edition
Eddie is the official client of AirVPN. While Eddie is focused on usage simplicity and quick responsiveness, it also includes features which can be appreciated by the advanced users, such as full control on OpenVPN directives, custom directives and custom routes. It's integrated with AirVPN VPN service (required for some feature like tunnel over SSH/SSL), but can be used standalone with any OpenVPN or WireGuard provider (tick Preferences -> Advanced -> Multi provider to add other providers or even remove AirVPN).
Why AirVPN?
- No traffic limit. No time limit. Access to all of our exit-nodes.
- Five simultaneous connections per account.
- Unlimited and free servers switches.
- High performance servers in many countries
- Optional block lists protecting you from ads, adware, trackers and malicious sources.
- No maximum speed limit, it depends only on the server load (see here). Minimum allocated granted bandwidth: 4 Mbit/s download + 4 Mbit/s upload.
- Every protocol is welcome, including p2p. Forwarded ports and DDNS to optimize your software.
- No personal information required. When you open an account, you are not forced to enter any personal data, not even a real e-mail address.
- Transparent policies on bandwidth allocation in order to give you an exact evaluation of the performance you can achieve: no overbooking, no overselling.
- We use OpenVPN and WireGuard to establish the connection between your computer and our servers. OpenVPN is the most reliable and secure solution for encrypted tunnels. Forget PPTP or other insecure protocols.
AirVPN offers OpenVPN on ports 80 TCP / UDP, 443 TCP / UDP and 53 TCP / UDP. Additionally, every Air server supports directly OpenVPN over SSH, OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over Tor. This means that even the most brutal techniques of monitoring, censorship, throttling and traffic shaping will fail against AirVPN, because your ISP and your government will see only TCP or UDP traffic on a unique port.
- Fully compliant with the European Union legal framework protecting your privacy: Directive on Data Protection (95/46/EC), Directive concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy (2002/58/EC) and General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/579)
- API - Application Programming Interface
- Help us cover our mission

There is an explanation for the HP Smart app Windows auto-installation issue |
Posted by: harlan4096 - Today, 09:04 - Forum: Microsoft Windows News
- Replies (1)

Quote:The unwanted installation of Hewlett Packard's printer software HP Smart on Windows 10 and 11 devices caused confusion in the past couple of days. Windows users, even those without HP printers or other HP devices, started to notice the installation of the HP Smart software on their devices.
The incident puzzled affected users, especially those without HP printers connected to their devices. A deeper analysis of affected systems revealed that Windows did change the make and model of some printers on the system.
Printers were suddenly listed as HP LaserJet M101-M106 internally. This affected physical and also virtual printers. Microsoft Print to PDF is one of the default virtual printers of the operating system. It can be used to turn any document into a PDF file.
![[Image: HP-Smart-app-automatically-installed-on-...-11jpg.jpg]](https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/HP-Smart-app-automatically-installed-on-Windows-10-and-11jpg.jpg)
This virtual printer would suddenly report itself as a printer from HP with the model ID HP LaserJet M101-M106. Other installed printers, physical and virtual, would also have that internal identification.
While printers continued to work as expected, Windows initiated the installation of the HP Smart software because of the change. This software is created for HP printers and it appears to be installed automatically by Windows if a supported printer is detected on the system.
Remove HP Smart
HP Smart may be installed on user devices, but it can be uninstalled easily. Here is how that is done:
- Use the keyboard shortcut Windows-I to open the Settings, or select Start > Settings.
- Open Apps > Installed Apps.
- Search for HP Smart.
- Click on the three dots on the right side of the HP Smart entry and select Uninstall.
- Select uninstall again, if the prompt appears.
The software is now removed from the device.
Tip: you can also use a third-party app like O&O AppBuster to remove Windows apps.
Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the issue or provide guidance for affected users. It is unclear if it is still ongoing or if Microsoft has put an end to it already.
An easy way to find out if you are affected is to type HP Smart in the Start Menu. Windows will return the app only if it is installed on the device.
The only apparent downside for affected users is that an app was pushed to the system without permission. The app doesn't appear to interfere with printing, but it is still recommended to remove it immediately.
Now You: was HP Smart's software installed on your devices?

Chrome shows how much memory a tab uses |
Posted by: harlan4096 - Today, 09:02 - Forum: Browsers News & Tips

Quote:Google is testing a new feature in its Chrome web browser that reports the memory usage of each browser tab to the user. The new feature is available in Chrome Canary already and will make its way into stable versions of the web browser in 2024.
Stable users interested in the feature may enable it already, however. The feature is also available in some other Chromium-based browsers, including Brave and Vivaldi. Read on to find out more about the new feature and how to enable it in your browser.
![[Image: chrome-memory-use-tabs.png]](https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/chrome-memory-use-tabs.png)
All it takes is to hover the mouse cursor over an open tab in the browser to see its memory usage. Chrome will also highlight if its Memory Saver feature has put a tab to sleep to free up memory, and if a tab is playing audio.
The feature relies on the new hover cards functionality that Google introduced in the browser recently.
For users, it is an interesting way to spot misbehaving websites quickly. Notice general slowdowns when using Chrome? You could move the mouse cursor over all open tabs to maybe find one that uses an excessive amount of memory. A right-click on the tab gives you options to reload or close it among other options.
Google's head of Chrome Developer Experience published an article on the feature on Medium. According to the information published there, reported memory includes the consumption of the active page and also any background processes.
Chrome users may configure Memory Saver in all versions of the web browser. To do so, load chrome://settings/performance in the browser's address bar or go to Menu > Settings > Performance. There you find the Memory Saver option, which you may toggle on or off. There is also an option to keep certain sites active all the time. Click on the "add" button to add a site to that list.
![[Image: chrome-memory-saver.png]](https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/chrome-memory-saver.png)
Chrome will put inactive tabs into sleep mode to recover memory. Inactive tabs are activated again when they are selected.
How to show memory usage in Chrome![[Image: show-memory-chrome.png]](https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/show-memory-chrome.png)
If Chrome is not showing memory usage of individual tabs at this point, you may enable the feature.
Here is how that is done:
- Load chrome://flags/#memory-saver-memory-usage-in-hovercards in the browser's address bar.
- Set the feature to Enabled.
- Restart Google Chrome.
Once done, Chrome will report memory usage of each open tab. Even memory of internal pages, like the page you opened to make the change, is reported.
Note: most Chromium-based browsers, including Brave and Vivaldi, support the experimental flag as well. Microsoft Edge does not, by the way.
Memory Saver information
Memory Saver is part of a set of performance tools that Google is integrating into Chrome. Another is Energy Saver, which is designed to improve battery life while using Chrome.
Memory Saver can free up memory, but it depends on factors such as the system memory and usage. Users who have dozens or even hundreds of tabs open will likely benefit more from the feature than users who have one or two tabs open only.
Google claims that it can save up to 40% memory so that Chrome may use "10GB less memory". This is obviously the upper end and not the average that users can expect to save.
Closing Words
The new memory reporter in Chrome is a useful feature for users of the browser and also developers. Users may use it to spot high-memory use sites and tabs, developers to optimize their projects.
Now You: would you use a memory reporter tool, if supported by your browser?

You can find some important tweaks to improve privacy of Windows OS by disabling specific Windows settings that may be used to transmit data of your PC usage to Microsoft or third-party providers. Useful to disable the automatic installation of Windows apps like Candy Crush.
- Unassociate File Types
A strong windows hardening rule is to unassociate all file types that can be used in first stages of an attack, such as VBS, JS, HTA, PIF, SCR, WSF, WSH, and the more recent ISO, IMG, VHD, MSI. So if an user receives a .ISO attachment and double-clicks on it, nothing will happen.
- Disable Windows Services
You should disable Windows services that you don't use to reduce the attack surface, thus we added options to disable some Windows services like Geolocation, User Experience and Telemetry, Remote Registry, Program Compatibility Assistant, Windows Media Player Network.
- Windows Firewall Rules
We added some important Windows Firewall rules to block outbound connections of commonly abused system processes (such as powershell.exe, certutil.exe, curl.exe, bitsadmin.exe). We also added firewall rules for .NET Framework executables and Office applications.
- Uninstall Windows Apps
We added options to uninstall default Windows Apps such as Microsoft News, Weather, Move & TV, Cortana, Windows Store, Maps, Sticky Notes, Feedback Hub, Windows Terminal, Solitaire Collection, People, 3D Viewer.
- Command-Line Usage
You can apply or restore tweaks using command-line parameters such as /ApplySelected {path-to-INI-file} and /RestoreSelected {path-to-INI-file} to automate the hardening of multiple Windows PCs. If you append the param /Reboot the PC will be rebooted once done.
- Simple Configuration
The program is simple to use, just select the tweaks and click the button "Apply Selected" to apply selected tweaks, or "Restore Selected" to factory-restore selected tweaks. Right click on an item to view additional options, you can easily apply a single tweak with "Apply This".
- Windows 10 & 11
The application works on Windows 10 (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows 11 (64-bit). Support for older OS like Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 is partial since some tweaks may not be available on these older OSs.
