How to increase the overall performance of your PC?

 



All computers will eventually experience decreased speeds. The frustration of a slow PC or laptop cannot be overstated. Your PC's performance may be significantly impacted by how it responds to changes as software gets more demanding. Your current operating system and whether you decide to update to Windows 10 can both have a significant impact.

Boost computer efficiency to accelerate applications.

1)      Physical cleaning

While occasionally wiping your screen with a cloth is undoubtedly a good idea, this practice does not enhance performance. Instead, you might want to think about opening up the hardware and carefully removing any possible dust and hair that may have gathered inside your system over the years. Even a brief cleaning can help your device's fans run a little more freely, which may enhance cooling and possibly make your PC a little faster. Of course, cleaning out old PCs can occasionally be an art form in and of itself.

2)    Uninstall unnecessary apps

Many pre-installed programs on your computer that many users won't use but it gobble up system present resources. These are typically easy to spot, a pop-up window asks you to update an application you've never used appears.

3)    Check the virus and spyware

Your computer will probably lag if it has harmful software installed on it. Any kind of background activity can influence performance since it diverts your CPU's attention from the things you want it to focus on and causes it to run an undesirable or even harmful background process. Instead of transferring private information or mining bitcoin for a hacker who most likely lives on the other side of the globe but somehow got to infect your system, you presumably want your PC to concentrate on getting work done. Consider installing antivirus software right away if you don't already have it so you can get rid of infections that might be slowing down your PC.

4)    Startup processes

A PC's startup time might occasionally be far too long. If it only occasionally occurs, your computer is probably updating software. If it occurs each time you turn on your computer, you might wish to stop using some of the startup procedures. When a PC is turned on, apps frequently self-start, which affects the system's performance. So check to see if there are any programs you wish to manually launch just when necessary and delete them from your startup plan.

5)    Check your web browser

Your PC's speed can frequently be improved with small changes. The speed at which websites, movies, and photos load can be slowed down or accelerated by something as simple as the browser you use. Consider trying a different browser to see if the loading times are faster if you have been using one and have noticed a lag time.

Conclusion

It normally only requires a few basic modifications to help your computer function more effectively if you are having trouble loading apps or are simply coping with slow performance. K7 antivirus helps to assist you in this. We can provide a cost-effective solution to all your challenges.

AMOS (MacOS Stealer)

  In the last week of April 2023, it was reported on twitter , that through a telegram channel a new malware was being offered as “Atomic MacOS Stealer”. Many samples of this malware were found on the internet. Figure 1 – Atomic MacOS Stealer Most of these samples were masquerading as an installer of various applications like Tor browser, Photoshop CC, Notion, FL studio. Figure 2 – Amos DMGfiles masquerading as different applications These are delivered as a DMGfile(Disk Image) which is the common format for software distribution & installation packages on macOS. We identified the Tor browser DMG file for the analysis. When we execute the DMG file it gets mounted and we can see the resulting window advises the user to execute the application by right clicking. Figure 3 – Tor Browser These fake applications are created by using Appify , which is used to create applications just by having the executable alone. The icons can be customised. That’s why these applications are in dif...

Ransomed by Warlock Dark Army “OFFICIALS”

  Recently we came across a tweet shared by petikvx . The tweet was on a ransomware family that had the group name similar to the WARLOCK DARK ARMY. The similarities with Chaos ransomware seem to end with the attacker group’s name. Upon analyzing the ransomware from the tweet we suspect both to be very different groups just based on their malware’s attributes. The sample under consideration was compiled using C/C++, in case of Chaos ransomware it is usually .Net. Statically looking at the file we noticed a resource entry under Bitmap with an identifier “14”, while analyzing the file code we noticed that this resource was read and loaded on to the memory. Hence we decided to dump that resource entry. Figure 1: Encrypted blob in resource section Figure 2 : Loading blob into the memory During our code analysis we found this blob was XOR encrypted. The first 16 bytes of this blob acts as the key for XOR decryption and the rest is the data which plays a key role in this ransomware’s in...

MuddyWater Back with DarkBit

  Recently, we came across a tweet about DarkBit ransomware. An Iranian APT group, named MuddyWater, is reportedly behind the DarkBit ransomware. In this blog we will explore the ransomware’s initial access method, the use of Cobalt Strike and the final ransomware payload. Initial Access Method The initial lure was delivered as an ISO file. Figure 1 – ISOFile The payload included a shortcut file (with a .doc extension) and a zip file. Figure 2 – Contents Inside ISO File The shortcut was using PrintBrm.exe to unpack the HR-Update.zip and run it as shown below. PrintBrm.exe is a windows inbuilt command line tool . Figure 3 – Shortcut File cmd.exe /c xcopy .\HR-Update.zip %TEMP% /h /y && PrintBrm.exe -r -f %TEMP%\HR-Update.zip -d %TEMP%\unzip & %TEMP%\unzip\HR-Update.exe Figure 4 – HR-Update.exe Running HR-Update.exe was a Cobalt Strike beacon. Cobalt Strike, a penetration testing tool, can also be used by attackers for gaining a foothold in the system. The final ran...
