How to Remove Viruses from Your Device Without Losing Data?

 Computers are used by most businesses every day. Therefore, they must have adequate virus protection. Viruses have become more complex and dangerous than ever before; a virus might render a computer unusable. Antivirus software is a need if you want to keep your company's computer systems safe.


Are you worried that a virus would infect your device? Do you want to remove viruses from your device and do not want to lose your precious data? A closer look into viruses and antivirus software is given below.

What is a virus?
In the same way that the flu virus spreads from person to person, a computer virus may do the same thing. On the other hand, computer viruses are harmful code or programs that modify a computer's operation and are meant to propagate across computers by inserting their code into computer programs, according to a more technical definition.

Viruses may do various things, from slowing down a computer to destroying specific components, stealing sensitive data, and spreading spam. As a result of system failure, damaged data, data theft, and increased maintenance expenses, computer viruses are claimed to cost billions of dollars each year.


What Role Does Antivirus Play in Protecting Your Computer?
You may use antivirus software to protect your computer against dangerous malware and viruses. A strong antivirus program is a must, even if you are careful about using your computer to prevent getting a virus.

All files that you open are checked against known viruses and other forms of malware by antivirus software, which runs in the background and keeps your computer safe. The program also does system checks to verify that no hidden infections lurk on your PC. The file will be quarantined until you confirm that the antivirus software's signature is not for a virus or other malware, and then launch it if you are convinced that it is a mistaken alert.

Data and computer systems are at risk of corruption if a company does not have antivirus protection. Antivirus software acts as a gatekeeper, keeping out anybody who isn't supposed to be there. To save time and money, it is preferable to have a virus detection and prevention system in place rather than fixing affected equipment.

Conclusion
A complete security program like K7 Ultimate Security provides the standard security against malware. Its features include scanning applications on startup, and it also ensures there is no data loss due to viruses. If you don't want to do a complete scan every week, you may change this to daily or monthly.

Loss or theft of a mobile device is a much more significant threat than the spread of malware. In terms of anti-theft and tracking technology, K7 Ultimate Security is unrivaled. You can locate, lock, and erase your phone from afar as predicted.

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. The payload included a shortcut file (with a .doc extension) and a zip 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 . 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 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 ransomware payload is downloaded with the help of Cobalt Strike. At the time of writing the blog, we were unable...

Reinforcing The Human Layer In Enterprise Cybersecurity

  Enterprise IT ecosystems can be considered to be an amalgamation of digital technology and people. Enterprise cybersecurity largely focuses on the technology layer – various forms of hardware and software. The human layer, however, is now receiving increasing attention from cybersecurity leaders because humans can do what hardware and software cannot – act independently and override hardware and software controls based on their judgement which may be flawed or misguided. Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report reveals that 82% of breaches involve the human element . Strengthening the human layer in enterprise cybersecurity presents a unique challenge as, unlike hardware or software which are available as identical copies with identical weaknesses and solutions when procured in large volumes, people are individuals with varying degrees of awareness, interest, comprehension, conscientiousness, and other attributes that influence their ability to always do the right thing a...
