  1. There are three posts because apparently the "Georgia" Font has really strange line formatting, so while trying to fix that, I hit the back button, thinking it would update the same post. Well, I guess I'll try Times New Roman next. Sorry.
  2. Hello, What I'm about to put in this post will contain malicious websites *DO NOT GO TO ANY WEBSITES LISTED IN THIS POST* So, the other day I was attemping to go to Nasa's page to see the beaUtiful pictures of Pluto taken by the "New Horizon" probe! Well, turned out I didn't know exactly what the URL was, so I tried dot com, well that's an insane website, and well, I'm hoping it's a hoax. I will not disclose the content of that website, do so in a virtual machine if you think that's secure enough, or in a Linux VM, then in that, run another installation of a VM, then try it. So, I then thought, oh, it must be dot gov, and well, that said something about computer breach, and started popups, and IMMEDIATELY locked up the computer, which was then unplugged about ten seconds later. I'd like to know what malware is contained on the latter page especially, so that I can remove any traces of the bastard pages. Google has not scanned it in the last 90 days, and Virustotal has no info on it either -- saying it's clean.
  3. Depending on how long your planning to be away from the computer, if it's only for a day or two, putting the computer to sleep is vastly more power efficient than shutting down. (Unless a restart is required to remove malware...) Putting the computer to sleep uses at most .5 to .1 watts including the monitor in standby mode. When you shutdown the computer, you will use a lot more energy starting everything again, when you could just have the machine ready in under 10 seconds after you enter your password. No more loading, waiting, and less power is used. I think this is the way to go, and a shutdown would be un-necessary. In fact, if no malware is detected, the computer could be set to sleep. (You can turn off hibernation to make this much much much much quicker.) Then, if malware is detected, you could let the computer shutdown. Best of both worlds!
  4. Malware-bytes started out having a red theme, and now everything is blue, and I'm talking about all programs, basically everything is always blue. This is nice when we invert colors, then it's orange, but most people don't do that. I'd like to see a nice deep red option in malware bytes because it looks more serious, and that's the feel that I think the program deserves, blue looks too calming for a malware program. This can NOT be set as the default, because people will wonder why it doesn't match the website, but having it as an easy to select option would be really nice.
