Hi everyone, I want to know if anyone here has upgraded to windows 10 or is using windows 10. Please kindly share your experience with it. Let us know how the environment is. Is it worth upgrading to, is it better than windows eight, what is your take on this Windows 10. |
Cyber criminals are spreading ransomware to Windows 10 users in fake emails offering system updates, according to internet security firm Bitdefender. Ransomware known as CTB Locker tempts users with the promise of a Windows 10 installation kit. Once the file is downloaded and installed it presents a message saying that crucial system files are now locked. The hackers then demand payment of £360 in bitcoins within 96 hours. The malicious email has the subject line ‘Windows 10 Free Update' and is reportedly sent from a valid address that displays as 'update@microsoft.com, said Bitdefender. Bogdan Botezatu, senior threat analyst at Bitdefender, explained that this version of CTB Locker creates the "perfect context" for cyber criminals. "Millions of people are expected to upgrade to Windows 10, so we might witness a substantial number of PC users falling victim to such scams," he said. CTB Locker, the successor to Cryptolocker, is a file-encryptor malware said to have originated in spam centres in the US, India and France. The best line of defence is to back up files regularly, Catalin Cosoi, chief security strategist at Bitdefender, told V3. "To block ransomware, users need to install an anti-malware solution with anti-exploit, anti-malware and anti-spam modules and keep all of the installed software constantly updated," he said. "Old or unpatched software is the primary vector used by hackers to infect computers. Good internet practices are not be neglected. "Avoiding questionable websites, links or email attachments from uncertain sources is the most simple measure any user can take against infections." Cosoi told V3 that the security of Windows 10 "shows signs of continuous improvement", but that "as long as it is able to run legacy apps it will also run the existing malware targeting Windows platforms". Windows 10 launched worldwide on 29 July and was quickly downloaded by millions of people. Nevertheless, a number of security concerns have been raised about how Microsoft collects and retains customer information, and there are fears about the new WiFi sharing features and Cortana. Microsoft has tried to downplay the concerns. "To effectively provide Windows as a service, Microsoft gathers some performance, diagnostic and usage information that helps keep Windows and apps running properly," the firm said in a statement.

espn:Dear, men are so gullible. If you abstain from girls, no one can try this with your wife. Some girls are quite but deadly I know one. She slept with her manager petitioned her manager and had him transferred. Better stay away from girls if you don't want insult on your wife. |
firstEVA:Just as Yar A Dua did little to his own brothers. But the truth SS benefited from GEJ; Akwa Ibom, Delta but Rivers chooses to fight the President and her outcome. |
dre11:Are you afraid of Buhari? Yes you will if you have skeleton in you cupboard but the truth be told. The Bible made us to understand that we should speak with boldness and with authority. Let him probe those who sponsored him first. |

ijustdey:No she doesn't love power but doesn't want the state she is married to be opposition to her. |
SenseiX:How can I check this parallel market rate online. |
LordMecuzy:I totally don't agree with you dear. When you give portfolio to someone it expected they deliver. GEJ ministers delivered to a certain extend and were carried away by their freedom though. But let us see, like I tell people GEJ ministers may suffer but GEJ won't because everything was done by the ministers. |
The senate should pass a resolution compelling the EFCC to prosecute those disturbing Saraki. Its a little ball game. I can advise him on what to do. |
He has started the probe already why telling us that the list will compel him to probe Jonathan. What has he been doing all this while, sipping tea with them? |
Won't be surprised to see EFCC inviting Tinubu as APC will soon fight themselves. Its so pity that the split that will soon hit APC will be great. |
alaoeri:#certificate |
FestacGirl:Thanks for admitting even if you maybe one of themmmm |
Ayobamms:Sorry to ask what did he do in electricity. Did he buy transformers or did he upgrade grids. President Jonathan promised steady power supply and put structures in place. The Northerner and people from SW sabotaged it and now power supply is growing gradually. Tell me one thing Buhari has done to the power sector. Aside probing what good has Buhari done, name one. |
It is true that Rochas has not paid workers what did he do with the money and why has PMB not intervened for the people of IMO. If US has money stolen by a minister where is the money. Stop keeping yourselves holy only to come later to say a different thing. APC is not as holy as u portray, your government is barely 3months stop propaganda and work, what will be your achievement in 100days in office, that a governor becomes minister of information? |
Very soon anything APC says will be scrutinized before believing or better soon Nigerians will be fed up with APC lies. They lie, praise their selves and quick to counter others. What manner of humans is APC made of. |
Am planning to purchase goods online but am troubled with these questions. 1. If the exchange rate for the day is for example 150 to a dollar will the bank charge more on my debit mastercard if am buying from US. 2. Using PayPal to pay for goods, will PayPal charge me for the purchase and how much will they charge if paying for goods of $81 or about #18000. Your help is very very appreciated. |
FowlYansh:Niger Delta is still the heart of Nigeria. Remember if Boko Haram could trouble the military, then ND boys can cripple Nigerian economy just for a day. Maybe then dollar will be 350. |
PassingShot:PMB is really afraid of the Niger Delta Freedom fighters. Remember Danjuma made a silly comment and it takes only Asari's wife to calm Danjuma. This is Niger Delta and if you fight them, you must not collect their oil. He has done the right thing for now and if he plans to expand the amnesty program then good. But fighting the Niger Delta mmmmmm I think Danjuma's oil block will be destroyed first then the foreigners will now run away and no oil plus less buyers maybe Nigeria will start to export yams and onions. |
So many revelations, still many to come. Science is good. Technology is the eye of a developing country and Nigeria should tap to it. |
nigerianvenom:Let my God Bless u. He saw the rots and was working to cleanse the rots well everything worketh for Good unto God still happy Nigeria is united just that I feel pain the rise in dollars as paying with dollars now something else. |
That brown animal in the fifth pic got me laughing. |
People better be careful walking at night o |
Am tired of these, let the probe begin. Also, after this administration the next one will still probe. Probe probe probe where is the result. ![]() |
Finestibogirl:Man, Tecno na phone ooo. Try h7, M7 or R7 u go feel am. |
Hey na lie, if Tecno no dey, the list no completed... ![]() |
Chibuhealth:It is really disgusting but the boys might love it that gives the girls the chance after all, all girls have boyfriends and they spend a day or two at their houses. |
