Phoenix Software Updates

Uplay updated to v39.3.0.5414

 

Visual C++ Runtime Installer v55! From forums.guru3d.com!

 

Is it required to update it every time?

 

As long you haven't problems, let it be. But at least install latest everytime you do a new clean Windoze install.

 

Action! updated to v2.7.2

Sorry guys, Mr. Papusan is on a vacation in the North Pole

 

Passmark PerformanceTest updated to v9.0 (Build 1019)

 

And guess what? They even had a malware in their software (which affected 32bit version). Latest update has fixed the issue as they say (i hope).

 

I know And it's amazing Avast, a global leader in digital security, aka Piriform's new owner, can't protect their own property FYI Piriform will continue with messy download site for the portable builds when new versions being pushed out. It's in the nature making most possible money

 

How ironic, Avast acquires them then they get hacked...

 

Fantastic-Amazing, that Avast needed help, bruh Security researchers of Cisco's Talos Group revealed details about the successful supply chain attack. Talos Group informed Avast, the parent company of Piriform, about the situation

 

Fortunately it was only the 32 bit version that was infected, and not the 64 bit version I use and recommend, and I missed that infected version completely. I've updated to the current 5.34 64 bit edition.

Here is the apology, non-technical and technical explanation by Piriform:

Security Notification for CCleaner v5.33.6162 and CCleaner Cloud v1.07.3191 for 32-bit Windows users
https://www.piriform.com/news/blog/...eaner-cloud-v1073191-for-32-bit-windows-users

"PAUL YUNG - VP, Products

Dear CCleaner customers, users and supporters,

We would like to apologize for a security incident that we have recently found in CCleaner version 5.33.6162 and CCleaner Cloud version 1.07.3191. A suspicious activity was identified on September 12th, 2017, where we saw an unknown IP address receiving data from software found in version 5.33.6162 of CCleaner, and CCleaner Cloud version 1.07.3191, on 32-bit Windows systems. Based on further analysis, we found that the 5.33.6162 version of CCleaner and the 1.07.3191 version of CCleaner Cloud was illegally modified before it was released to the public, and we started an investigation process.

We also immediately contacted law enforcement units and worked with them on resolving the issue. Before delving into the technical details, let me say that the threat has now been resolved in the sense that the rogue server is down, other potential servers are out of the control of the attacker, and we’re moving all existing CCleaner v5.33.6162 users to the latest version. Users of CCleaner Cloud version 1.07.3191 have received an automatic update.

In other words, to the best of our knowledge, we were able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm."

Further technical info is included, worth checking out...

"Again, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience this incident could have caused to our clients; we are taking detailed steps internally so that this does not happen again, and to ensure your security while using any of our Piriform products. Users of our cloud version have received an automated update.

For all other users, if you have not already done so, we encourage you to update your CCleaner software to version 5.34 or higher, the latest version is available for download here. "

 

Looks like an insider did this because they didn't like Avast.

 

CCleaner updated to v5.35.6210
nVIDIA GeForce Experience updated to v3.9.0.97

CCleaner Malware Infects Big Tech Companies With Second Backdoor
Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Mohit Kumar
http://thehackernews.com/2017/09/ccleaner-malware-hacking.html
Removing Malicious CCleaner Version would Not Help

Spoiler: Details

"Just removing the Avast's software application from the infected machines would not be enough to get rid of the CCleaner second stage malware payload from their network, with the attackers' still-active C2 server.

So, affected companies that have had their computers infected with the malicious version of CCleaner are strongly recommended to fully restore their systems from backup versions before the installation of the tainted security program.
"These findings also support and reinforce our previous recommendation that those impacted by this supply chain attack should not simply remove the affected version of CCleaner or update to the latest version, but should restore from backups or reimage systems to ensure that they completely remove not only the backdoored version of CCleaner but also any other malware that may be resident on the system," the researchers say.

For those who are unaware, the Windows 32-bit version of CCleaner v5.33.6162 and CCleaner Cloud v1.07.3191 were affected by the malware, and affected users should update the software to version 5.34 or higher."

---------------------------------

The Talos article is worth reading in detail:

CCleaner Command and Control Causes Concern
http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/09/ccleaner-c2-concern.html

Another report on the overall situation:

THE CCLEANER MALWARE FIASCO TARGETED AT LEAST 20 SPECIFIC TECH FIRMS
https://www.wired.com/story/ccleaner-malware-targeted-tech-firms/

"...On Wednesday, researchers at Cisco's Talos security division revealed that they've now analyzed the hackers' "command-and-control" server to which those malicious versions of CCleaner connected.

On that server, they found evidence that the hackers had attempted to filter their collection of backdoored victim machines to find computers inside the networks of 20 tech firms, including Intel, Google, Microsoft, Akamai, Samsung, Sony, VMware, HTC, Linksys, D-Link and Cisco itself.

In about half of those cases, says Talos research manager Craig Williams, the hackers successfully found a machine they'd compromised within the company's network, and used their backdoor to infect it with another piece of malware intended to serve as a deeper foothold, one that Cisco now believes was likely intended for industrial espionage.

"When we found this initially, we knew it had infected a lot of companies," says Williams. "Now we know this was being used as a dragnet to target these 20 companies worldwide...to get footholds in companies that have valuable things to steal, including Cisco unfortunately."

Most places that are hacked never say anything at all.

Piriform (Avast) has already responded, making an apology, statement, technical details, and released updated version(s), which I posted here on NBR. I don't know how you missed them...

I'm sure Avast wouldn't hide this If this haven't been discovered by other, what then?

 

@Phoenix Wasn't ESET AV remover capable of clearing out existing AV from other companies including its own, I used it to uninstall McAfee on mine and my friends lappies and got hell of a boost without it.

 

Are we assuning they are sincerely remorseful or saying what needs to be said to deflect? Apologizing is not the equivalent of innocence, remorse or repentance. It is often little more than politically correct posturing. They may be innocent victims as well, but I am not sure we have any proof of that yet. Do we?

I don't think about those things when conveying information accurately, adding a negative spin isn't even thought of while trying to help others in need.

A positive, constructive, even happy spin to help people from panicking is more my style.

Stirring up trouble trying to make people mad isn't constructive and is outside my thought processes.

Then we wouldn't know about it would we?

Additional information regarding the recent CCleaner APT security incident
https://blog.avast.com/additional-information-regarding-the-recent-ccleaner-apt-security-incident

"New analysis from the Avast Threat Labs

We would like to update our customers and the general public on the latest findings regarding the investigation of the recent CCleaner security incident. As published in our previous blog posts (here and here), analysis of the CnC server showed that the incident was in fact an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attack, targeting specific high-tech and telecommunications companies. That is, despite the fact that CCleaner is a consumer product, the purpose of the attack was not to attack consumers and their data; instead, the CCleaner customers were used to gain access to corporate networks of select large enterprises.

Today, we are going to disclose new facts about the incident that we received since the last public update."

MSI Afterburner v4.4.0 Beta 18
MSI Afterburner 4.4.0 official download - Guru3D and MSI have been working hard on AfterBurner, today we release an updated this revision of Afterburner, this application successfully secured the leading position on graphics card utilities.

MSI Afterburner is ultimate graphics card utility, developed the Guru3D RivaTuner team. The Beta releases sometimes have an expiration limit, the stable and final build releases do not. We recommend using a final build. If you purchased a GeForce GTX 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080, Titan X (Pascal) or AMD Radeon RX 4x0 graphics card we can recommend you to at least try out this latest release. We have written a GeForce GTX 1070 and 1080 overclocking guide right here.

ATTENTION - RTSS Not Working after Windows 10 Update?​

Recently Microsoft released their KB4032188 update which invokes an updated compatibility assistant. That compatibility assistant is now detecting the old RTSS 6.x.x versions launch, and prevents it from doing so. It informs user that RTSS is incompatible with Creators Update and redirects you to our download page with recommendation to upgrade. This is exactly why we released official 7.0.0 beta with Creators Update support back in April 2017. To get compatible again please install revision 7.0.0 beta 19 (or newer). Right now you are using a 6.x.x version.

Also, more recommended we suggest that you to download latest full beta package of MSI Afterburner 4.4.0 Beta 19 which includes an even newer build of RTSS. ​

This is the new public final release of MSI AfterBurner 4.4.0. Over the past few weeks we have made tremendous effort to get a lot of features enabled for this build. All recently release graphics cards are supported, this entails the entire Nvidia GeForce GTX Series 10 including 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti and Titan X (Pascal). For AMD the Radeon RX series 400 and 500 support is included. Not just that, we have also updated RTSS, our statistics server that enables the overlay with MSI AfterBurner to offer DirectX 12 overlay support. New in this release is overlay support for SLI and Crossfire in DirectX 12. Please read the full release notes for all changes (as there are quite a few of them). You might have noticed a new look - if you like the white/black design you see below, in the Afterburner preferences / user interface skins selection you can choose this new Cyborg White skin to activate it. Have fun tweaking.
