Is EMET needed for windows 8 too? Ive went to the Windows website but under requirements it does not mention Windows 8.
There is a EMET 3.5 Tech preview but even that doesn't work work 100% on windows 8 although it expands on some of the features that windows 8 has that 7 doesn't like full ASLRimplementation, i'm sure they are working on it but it's already been documented elsewhere that EMET doesn't always attach to processes in windows 8 and that probably has something to do with their additions and changes.

See https://lastpass.com/how-it-works/ - even if they get hacked, all the hackers will get access to is encrypted data. Your passwords are only decrypted on your PC.

How resource intensive is EMET? I'm trying to reduce the number of programs that I run simultaneously improve my laptop's performance.
|
It may use some RAM for the tray app, but the mitigations are not intensive at all.

So if I'm running it on a laptop with a i5-2.50ghz, 8gb ram that's running Dota at the same time, it really shouldn't make a difference?
|
Won't be noticeable. It's not at all like anti-virus software that intercepts and scans everything, it just inserts mitigations when a program starts and that's pretty much it.

So i realize this is thread is concerning prevention... But I was in between anti viruses for like a day and managed to get myself a vey horrible virus or adware that opens up new windows/tabs in my default browser, advertising sites like adf.ly... and i've tried everything in this guide plus various AV and things like malwarebytes superantisypware etc but they all found nothing and the problem persists...
I don't know if this is the right thread but i'm unsure what other types of trojans and keyloggers that could be on my pc infecting my shit.. can someone help me? Ive tried everything except formatting which will be my last resort..
so far i found a program called rkill.exe on malwarebytes forum that stops the process temporarily... if some wizard in here could help me out i could provide the log that the program writes after it stops the process... maybe it could be of use to find out the source of the adware..

Rename the mbam.exe file to something like mbam1.exe and profit.
I quit using anti-virus a good minute ago. It is VERY easy to know when you have a virus. I'm sure I'm going to be called "stupid" or my claims are "ridiculous", but it's true. Haven't used anti-virus for about 6 years now and the few viruses that I did pick up were from me attempting to pirate something that I had no business dealing with.

Everyone should read this, especially for people that dwell within a realm where security suites and AT software will protect you from everything.

"Crypting services are the primary reason that if you or someone within your organization is unfortunate enough to have opened a malware-laced attachment in an email in the first 12-24 hours after the bad guys blast it out in a spam run, there is an excellent chance that whatever antivirus tool you or your company relies upon will not detect this specimen as malicious."
