Popular Post bignok Posted April 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2023 A lot of these warnings are spam. They want you to download programs. I don't use any of these security programs. They don't do anything. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get warnings all the time, all fake warnings about threats. None of them real. Do an internet search on the value of security programs. Some even do more harm than good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely they will install malware like a virus, ransom demand, etc. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Researchers on Wednesday announced a major cybersecurity find—the world’s first-known instance of real-world malware that can hijack a computer’s boot process even when Secure Boot and other advanced protections are enabled and running on fully updated versions of Windows. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/03/unkillable-uefi-malware-bypassing-secure-boot-enabled-by-unpatchable-windows-flaw/ Badly written article, but you'll get the point of what all is exploitable nowadays...

HappyExpat57 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 It's sneaky nagware. Not a threat, but anything that gets loaded behind my back gets two thumbs down from me. https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-remove-rav-antivirus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My searching indicates that 'RAV Endpoint Protection' is a product of Reason Labs which appears to be a legit company started by an ex-Microsoft chap. However I couldn't find much in the way of reviews or actual knowledgeable folk who could say whether it is legit or not. Just "it looks like a PUP so kill it with fire", which is likely what I'd do if it sneaked onto my PC. https://reasonlabs.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelapin Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Thanks for most of the comments. After reading them I have uninstalled the RAV software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
