Combine that with 3,400 miles of shoreline, a dash of gruff yet charming Down East hospitality, and you’ll The official count of islands off the Maine coast, for example, is around 3,000. Though Tracy Kidder would prefer that you steer clear of his river, the thing about summer in Maine is that such solitary waterborne experiences are not hard to find. The Maine coast has more landmarks than names. Man I didn't know x86 support got so weak in the couple years I haven't used Linux on a laptop lol.Avast Ye, Matey – Find Your Own Damn Cove Okay, it's doing its thing, I can finally go have dinner Stracing the clamscan command showed it was. It's taking forever and not printing anything. I just killed it from a second tty, and the install finished successfully)Ī definitions update, short manual skimover, and finally, got scanning! Switched to a tty1 after kernel loads, killed lightdm and Xserver to minimize usb drive reads, downloaded clamav (which got stuck on man-db update. Couldn't sudo as the eset user, except for the terminal emulator, which crashes thanks to the architecture mismatch.ģ - avast - live usb / cd cannot be downloaded from web, has to be installed through avast, which I really didn't want to install on my laptop just to make a rescue flash driveĤ - comodo - didn't even boot due to architecture mismatchįuck it! Sick and tired of this, I'm downloading Debian with XFCE. Root had pass set but not in the image shadow file, so no idea really. Doesn't provide any info on username and passwords, had to dig around the image from the laptop I used to burn it to the USB drive to find the user was, in fact, called eset and had an empty password. But:ġ - Kaspersky Sys Rescue - Doesn't even support non-EFI systemsĢ - Eset SysRescue - Doesn't mount the system drive, terminal emulator is X64 while the CPU of the laptop is X86 meaning I cannot run that. Looking through google, I found several live rescue images from popular AV brands. Scanning out of a live booted linux it is I thought! Little did I know how much it'd infuriate me! It BSoD'd over night, and so none of the finds were removed. Thinking it would have enough time over night, I went to bed. Though as the computer is so old, the progress was slow. Uninstalled the old av, downloaded malware bytes and went to scan the whole pc.īefore I went to bed, it'd already found >150 detections. So my bro in law (let's just call him my bro) asked me to install an adblock.Īs I launched chrome and went to install it, how ever, the addon page said something like "Cannot install, chrome is managed by your company" - wtf?Īlso, the out of date AV couldn't even be updated as its main service just wouldn't start. To put it mildly, chockful of viruses of all sort, as it's an old machine still running w7 while still being online and an av about 7 years out of date. Okay so my brother in law has a laptop that is. BitDefender: *sees steam game* "Is this ransomware?".No, they don't care about anyone BUT US gov't workers. herdProtect is amazing as it's basically a VirusTotal client but it's web-based and not currently available to be downloaded.Using Windows Defender is like trying to block the rain with an umbrella made of 1-ply toilet paper.It also *really* likes to crash VM hypervisors if it sees anything odd in them. Avast is very good as it picks up a lot, but it eats a FUCKTON of resources.MBAM is good and has a (relatively) low memory footprint, but doesn't have free realtime protection.However, normal people need them, so I usually suggest this list: I see no point to AV/AM products, especially as they annoy me more than anything since they can't be told not to reach into and protect VMs (thereby dirtying up my VM state, my research, crashing the VM hypervisor and generally being *really* annoying) and they like to erase samples from a *read-only, MOUNTED* VHDX. If i'm unsure about it (or know something's up and wanna see its effects for S&Gs) I throw it into one of a variety of VMs, each with a prepped, clean, standardized "testing" state. I do malware research as a hobby and have for a while, so I can generally spot when something's up before I even run a program. "Suggest an AV/AM product, Avast refuses to install."
