steven36 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Global Internet security firm Quick Heal Technologies has detected more than 180 million threats on desktops and laptops with Windows Operating System in India. According to the quarterly threat report released by the firm on Wednesday, more than 2 million malware, 16,000 ransomware, 13,000 crypto-mining malware, 141,000 exploits, and 40,488 potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) and adware are detected on a daily basis. “More than 18 crore threats were detected on Windows devices of individual and enterprise users between April and June 2018. May was the busiest month, with more than 74 million incidents detected, followed by April and June that witnessed 55 million and 51 million detections respectively,” a Quarterly Threat Report 2018 said. “The absence of appropriate cybersecurity measures has also made users and businesses across India more vulnerable to emerging threats,” it further added. Joint Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer, Sanjay Katkar said in a statement, "Cybercriminals are at a completely different level today than they were a few years ago. They are using novel technologies to drive increasingly-complex attacks and are targeting larger user bases." "The latest threat report highlights this risk that individuals and businesses in India currently face with this evolution of the threat landscape," Katkar said. The Trojan Horse families have registered a quarter-on-quarter growth of four percent in the second quarter of 2018 and remained the most dominant malware in this quarter also. “Individual users and businesses across India need to understand the massive risk that they are exposed to at present. Ignorance is not a viable cybersecurity strategy. The need of the hour is to drive large-scale adoption of cutting-edge security solutions such as those offered by Quick Heal and Seqrite,” he said. However, the rise of cryptojacking remains the biggest worry, as it is getting direct monetary benefits to cybercriminals. “Cryptojacking attacks remain undetected for a long time and can often be used as a platform to launch other complex attacks…over 3 million cryptojacking hits were detected till May 2018, with the number of active mobile cryptojacking variants increasing to 25,” the report said.

PCWorld said Lots of interesting features don't quite make up for high price. I think its kind of expensive but they have a free 30 day trial if your interested in testing it. If you looking for cheap security for your home you may be better off using something else . Quote Quick Heal Total Security is priced at $74 for one user for one year. If you need more protection than that, there’s also a multi-device option that costs an extra dollar ($75) to protect three devices for a single year. That is a really high price considering the industry standard is $100 to $110 to protect 10 devices for a year. There are also deluxe security suites with far more extra features than Quick Heal such as secure cloud backup and encrypted file vaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the wild west of Humanity folks.. If your not use to Capitalism by now you want never be because it's happening again all the Big Tech companies are inventing new snake oil to protect voting systems from state hackers when there is nothing that can really protect you from phishing. It was happening years before i came online and I came on all the time in 2001, i had messed around on it before .. Before it was mostly just virus and spyware and companies cashed in even though most products could not prevent you from catching a virus. it was not tell Microsoft patched holes in windows they got that under control XP SP2 . And still they is holes in windows were virus still got by years after like External Blue. Since it switched from Virus to Malware there is no cure they can patch all they want but that will not stop it, so you install or use some free Anti-malware that works on Windows and other OS and pray they have the signatures to detect it . The only thing that could protect from virus pre XP sp2 was installing a good 3rd party firewall because they was coming from a hole in windows firewall.

Administrator DKT27 Posted September 25, 2018 Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2018 Please keep politics out of this guys.

While I understand the need to support the growth of a company trying to compete with the world, the guys are not good enough. Also, unlike their AV, their anti-fix methods are among the best in the world making it next to impossible for anyone to fix it. Had they invested all that time and money into the product itself rather than it's anti-fix protections, it would be leading the world out there.

Yes I know. I have seen many custom PC makers buying a license for it and installing on their user's PCs. I have explained them how crap it is. They do not want to understand it. There are not any good software manufacturers in the country, or else I would have said that well known companies should make AVs, but that's not possible as those companies are service based, not product based I think.

Kalju Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Wonder, but as much as I know the Quick Heal is Indian version of BitDefender. So why Indian version found and BitDefender itself didn't found nothing. Even the beautiful lie is only lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if and antivirus find something like this for empale https://www.csoonline.com/article/3306773/security/first-known-malicious-cryptomining-campaign-targeting-kodi-discovered.html In my case it removed the malware right away but it could not detect script.module.python.requests witch was the malware downloader . So i blocked the url that was downloading it in my host only reason i got rid of script.module.python.requests was that I clean installed Kodi and the infected addon got removed from the repo in April ..It took Eset all most a year after it been in the wild to post the info that script.module.python.requests was infected and caused it, and they didn't have signatures to remove script.module.python.requests ether im not sure about if they have it now or not. https://www.welivesecurity.com/2018/09/13/kodi-add-ons-launch-cryptomining-campaign/ So really you can't trust none of them only thing is 100% safe is stay offline .
