Seems both of different techniques.. BTW, even if one goes to 'rediff.com' one would see, many links/ads, and in 'Techtimes' i see only links to articles, maybe due to Adblocks.. Anyway thanks for the word of caution..

MLTR's latest, for this Valentines, official video to be released on 13th..

BTW can't the 'Beneficiary' - the perpetrator be zeroed in., tracing the money route??

Fine.. I've been using it for quite a while and very comfortable with it.. Certainly, XP users will feel the pinch of support retirement.. Though, I also have other options on hand and in addition, the fact of my shifting between Windows & Non-Windows use, off-late..

I feel the article gives a good insight/understanding of the involved players, threat impact for one to take proper counter measures..

After IBM took over Trusteer Rapport, it's fine now.. see the link in post#3.. It adds protection for sensitive browsing needs, Banking etc.. So try it now for good..

It is 'unthinkable', what with organized crime, high stakes in play, even probably involving syndicates, sends shivers down..

Oh.. How ingenious can cybercrime go to, in http://www.darkreading.com/endpoint/10-shocking-new-facts-about-ransomware/d/d-id/1324217?image_number=1 ..

MS inspite of tall claims on Win 10 & Edge being 'Secure', continues it's legacy of Security Updates release, the latest as per http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/update-history-windows-10 .. You were right, insecurities will be a part & parcel of MS software..

Welcome aboard.. Welcome to the club ..

Very funny.. But, you do support it ??

It will be the last thing one would look for, given the conviction behind the present statement/declaration.. So, it's to be construed only as a 'Sales gimmick'...

I will also request that you refer to me as Mister Sman.. So as it goes, until proven otherwise, one has to stick with Zero day protection, for MS software.. It would be interesting to get MS response to it..

Details can be checked in http://www.trusteer.com/support/end-of-support-for-windows-xp ..

Is it Sales gimmick or real change?? http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-windows-10-edge-so-secure-they-dont-need-our-emet-anti-zero-day-shield/

As of 12th Jan'2016, Trusteer Rapport retires support for Win XP (SP3).. Another nail in the coffin for XP users..

When literally all AV's give 'Rescue disk' option. Spyhunter's method of modifying 'Bootloader' for loading/running before other startup items, impede/impact normal Boot process/loading of drivers etc ?? Tks. in advance..

How to secure BIOS from being tampered? Will password protection suffice? Tks. in advance..

Tampering with Bootloader, is unheard off.. Never have I come across that with any security product and just to read this practice, runs shivers down.. Which other product does that?? If every product/installer starts to do that with every software installation on the system, only mayhem will remain..

Thanks! Gonzo, you could'nt have put it better.. I'll bear your views in mind.. Thank you..

Gonzo, thanks for your views.. But, it's time to take notice, when the views are echoed all around, corroborated by experts.. A sort of 'Doomsday prophecy' on Windows is hanging around, popularity/no popularity.. I even came across Dell abandoning traditional AV's for it's latest product, signs of changing times/approach.. AV protection is unreliable and I intend to try out my options, seriously.. Just my views.. Thanks once again..

Of late, becoming increasingly uneasy with the lot of noise on Windows, AV's vulnerabilities.. The recent discovery of 'Moker' malware by Ensilo, which seems to have all deceptive/remote unhindered access/damaging capabilties, particularly in Windows, makes me more wary of Windows.. Seriously weighing on abandoning Windows, if I can find ways to run my Windows apps / trading tools outside Windows? I can do Trading in HTML and it's only the question of analytic tools (even on this, If stick with the tools in Trading Terminal, should do but as I look for further analysis, puts me on hold,) Just my views..
