Scanoclean.com is a scam website that shows fake warnings about virus infections allegedly found on the PC. The notification is misleading, and you shouldn't download offered software. Instead, use legitimate security tools to check your system for malware and then clean your browsers

Scanoclean.com ads are fake: crooks use them for profit

Scanoclean.com is a fake website that shows misleading messages about computer infection level

Scanoclean.com is a scam website that seeks to benefit from affiliate links in a deceptive manner, where users always end up being victims. People usually end up on this website by accident after clicking a malicious link somewhere else, which adds to the overall surprise and success of the scheme.

Scanoclean.com impersonates a system scan allegedly done by a popular security vendor Norton. The fake results claim that the system has been infected with malware, and needs to be cleaned, at which point users are then redirected to a download page of security software. Scammers benefit from each of the clicks and downloads made, while users might end up with software they don't need.

In some cases, the advertised software might even be malicious, thus downloading applications from scam sites shouldn't be an option at all. If you have installed something from Scanoclean.com, you should proceed with the instructions below on how to recover.

The scam scheme and how to spot deception

Norton is one of the most established and oldest security vendors out there, hence many people can associate its name with something trustworthy. Using the name, the logos, and the feel of the security software provides Scanoclean.com with more credibility in a sense, where users believe that the warning is actually coming from a reputable vendor.

In fact, we have seen a rise in phishing[1] websites that imitate security scans from Norton or McAfee recently – Strist.online, Protectionsrequired.com, or Defenceprogramm.com are just a few examples of such. If you check the URL names, you would quickly notice that scammers are using words associated with security, computer scans, and similar.

All of these websites operate in an identical manner, which goes as follows:
• users are first exposed to a fake pop-up window of what seems to be Norton antivirus
• a fake scan is initiated, which shows several pop-ups with alleged detections
• after a few seconds, users are presented with fake results which claim that the system is infected with 5 viruses and that the security software subscription has expired.

If the “Proceed” button is clicked, users are then automatically rerouted to a website where they are asked to purchase anti-malware. If you have anti-malware already installed, you don't need an extra tool. Besides, crooks might direct you to download rogue security tools, which could actually infect your device.

Never believe Scanoclean.com pop-ups and messages, as they are all fabricated. In fact, any website which claims that your system is infected is faking it, as only reputable anti-malware is capable of detecting malicious software on your system.

It is important to say that the remediation process depends on your actions taken whenever you encountered the Scanoclean.com scam. For example, if you have downloaded any software from the offered links, you should immediately uninstall it and then scan your computer with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes anti-malware. Security software can check the system fully and remove all malicious components that could otherwise be missed.

Likewise, adware could already be installed on your system, as those affected are more likely to encounter various phishing content, among persistent ads. Most adware can be removed automatically with security software, although some apps might not be detected due to PUPs being a gray area issue. Thus, we recommend checking manual steps as well.

First of all, we recommend uninstalling unwanted applications that are installed on the system level:
• Enter Control Panel into the Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
• From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
• Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
• If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
• Wait till the uninstallation process is complete and click OK.

While moving apps into Trash is how you delete most normal applications, adware[2] tends to create additional files for persistence. Thus, you should look for .plist and other files that could be related to the virus. If you are not sure, skip this step entirely.
• From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
• In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
• Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)

To fully remove an unwanted app, you need to access Application Support, LaunchAgents, and LaunchDaemons folders and delete relevant files:
• Select Go > Go to Folder.
• Enter /Library/Application Support and click Go or press Enter.
• In the Application Support folder, look for unwanted entries and then delete them.
• Now enter /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders the same way and terminate all the related .plist files.

Your next task is to check your browser for unwanted extensions, as adware commonly spreads as such. You can find the installed apps by clicking the “Extensions” button next to the settings menu, or you could access settings and get rid of the add-ons through there – we explain how below.

We also recommend cleaning browser caches for the best results, as adware is known for its data-tracking capabilities. Tracking cookies,[3] for example, are stored locally within special folders. You can delete them manually, or employ ReimageIntego maintenance utility as a quicker solution.
• Open Google Chrome, click on the Menu (three vertical dots at the top-right corner) and select More tools > Extensions.
• In the newly opened window, you will see all the installed extensions. Uninstall all the suspicious plugins that might be related to the unwanted program by clicking Remove.
• Select Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, as well as Cached images and files.
• Open Mozilla Firefox browser and click on the Menu (three horizontal lines at the top-right of the window).
• In here, select unwanted plugin and click Remove.
• Scroll down to locate Cookies and Site Data.
• Select Cookies and Site Data, as well as Cached Web Content and press Clear.
• Click on Menu and go to Settings.
• Under Clear browsing data, pick Choose what to clear.
• In the new window, pick Extensions.
• From the drop-down menu under Clear, pick all history.

In continuation of our series exploring tech hubs around the world, we take a look at what the Dublin tech scene has to offer

The Irish capital, Dublin, is one of the world’s biggest tech cities.

De Ierse hoofdstad Dublin is een van de grootste technologiesteden ter wereld.

In continuation of our series exploring tech hubs around the world, we take a look at what the Dublin tech scene has to offerWhen you picture Dublin, what comes to mind? Away from the tourist sites and attractions, Dublin is a thriving tech metropolis with a unique culture that can rival any other big city in Europe (yes, even London!). In fact, the city is the EMEA HQ for nine out of 10 of the world’s biggest tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Een gids voor werken in de Dublin tech sceneDublin is de thuisbasis van belangrijke cloud, Fintech en Cleantech innovatie. In het verlengde van onze serie over tech hubs over de hele wereld, kijken we naar wat de Dublin tech scene te bieden heeftAls je je Dublin voorstelt, wat komt er dan in je op? Weg van de toeristische trekpleisters en attracties is Dublin een bloeiende tech-metropool met een unieke cultuur die kan wedijveren met elke andere grote stad in Europa (ja, zelfs Londen!).

A guide to working in the Dublin tech scene

Dublin is home to major cloud, Fintech and Cleantech innovation.

In continuation of our series exploring tech hubs around the world, we take a look at what the Dublin tech scene has to offer

When you picture Dublin, what comes to mind? Do you imagine cobbled streets, lively traditional music, friendly locals, and pints of Guinness?

That’s the stereotypical image that we usually see in the press. But the reality is just a little bit different. Away from the tourist sites and attractions, Dublin is a thriving tech metropolis with a unique culture that can rival any other big city in Europe (yes, even London!).

In fact, the city is the EMEA HQ for nine out of 10 of the world’s biggest tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn. It is also home to some of the biggest Irish tech exports in recent years such as Stripe and Evervault.

So, what makes the city so appealing? Well, it’s definitely not the weather but there are a few reasons why Ireland’s capital is booming.

Top of the list has to be Dublin’s business-friendly tax system which attracts large multinationals such as Twitter and Amazon. Next, you have the highly educated workforce that calls this city home. In fact, three in five people in Ireland have a third-level education according to the Central Statistics Office.

Finally, you have an impressive array of accelerator and incubator programmes such as Enterprise Ireland Competitive Start Fund, NDRC, and Dublin Business Innovation Centre.

When you combine all these factors with easy access to Europe, a thriving cultural scene, and amazing job opportunities, it’s no wonder that tech talent is still flocking to the Irish capital in their droves.

Here’s everything that you need to know.

Cloud computing continues to grow at a rapid pace and Dublin is quickly emerging as a key global player thanks to the establishment of the Irish Centre for Cloud Computing and Commerce (IC4).

Founded back in 2011, IC4 is a multi-institutional research centre based in Dublin City University (DCU). The organisation is tasked with making Ireland a centre of excellence for innovation and research with representatives hailing from Intel, IBM, and Microsoft. The cloud computing sector is also helped by the fact that several Dublin-based universities now offer masters degrees in the discipline. International players based in Ireland include Dropbox, Salesforce, and Zendesk.

File hosting company Dropbox opened its Dublin office back in 2013. Since then, the company has adopted a virtual-first approach for all employees. While attending the office is not mandatory, staff can drop in to the Dublin ‘studio’ when they want to collaborate and share ideas. Sounds pretty nice, right? You can check out its open roles here.

Dublin is quickly becoming synonymous with Fintech. The success of Irish-led companies such as Stripe (which is valued at $95 billion), has paved the way for other exciting startups, including Strikepay and Trustap.

This boom is thanks to an influx of Fintech investment in recent years. According to a report by KPMG, the fintech sector in Ireland secured $900 million of investment and equity transactions in the first half of 2021.

One very important employer in this sector is PayPal. The payments giant has two Irish offices: one in Dundalk, and the other in Blanchardstown in West Dublin. It is currently hiring for a number of different roles including customer success managers, account executives, and engineers. You can find out more on the Information Age Job Board.

Ireland is known for having 50 shades of green, but the country also has a thriving green economy. This sector is growing for a number of reasons which include supportive government policies, financial incentives, and an abundance of natural resources such as wind and waves.

Thanks to its Atlantic Coast, Ireland has the highest wave energy resource in Europe (estimated at 60GW). As a result, the country is home to some impressive sustainable energy companies such as OceanEnergy. However, the East coast still has plenty to offer.

Dublin is home to Covanta’s waste to energy facility that processes waste that cannot be reused or recycled while protecting the environment in the process. Each year, the company’s facilities reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing four million cars from the road. You can find out more about open roles at Covanta here.

We can’t talk about the tech scene in Dublin without mentioning the Silicon Docks (or Grand Canal Dock, as it is officially known). Of course, the nickname is an homage to Silicon Valley in California. Like its American counterpart, Silicon Dock is a previously industrial area along the Grand Canal, in the south side of the city centre.

Google was the first huge company to make the move to this area back in 2004. Its impressive location on the water, plus its close proximity to the city centre made it the perfect place to set up a campus. However, the area didn’t become the huge success it is today until after the economic recession.

Today, there are over 40,000 office workers in and around the area, which makes this part of Dublin a particularly good place to grab lunch, go for after work drinks, or simply sit and people-watch. It’s got everything you could want from striking architecture to wonderful restaurants.

Are you ready to make the move to the Emerald Isle? You can find lots of great job opportunities on the Information Age job board today.

A team of UTSA researchers is exploring how a new automated approach could prevent software security vulnerabilities.

Software developers are developing a deep learning approach to extract security policies from user stories.

Een team van UTSA-onderzoekers onderzoekt hoe een nieuwe geautomatiseerde aanpak beveiligingslekken in software kan voorkomen. Het team wilde een deep learning-model ontwikkelen dat software kan leren hoe automatisch veiligheidsbeleid kan worden afgeleid. In tegenstelling tot traditionele softwaremodellen is het agile softwareontwikkelingsproces bedoeld om software in een sneller tempo te produceren, waardoor er geen tijd meer hoeft te worden besteed aan uitgebreide documenten en veranderende software-eisen.

A team of UTSA researchers is exploring how a new automated approach could prevent software security vulnerabilities.

The team sought to develop a deep learning model that could teach software how to extract security policies automatically.

Unlike traditional software models, the agile software development process is meant to produce software at a faster pace, eliminating the need to spend time on comprehensive documents and changing software requirements. User stories, the specifications that define the software’s requirements, are the only required documentation. However, the practices innate to this process, such as constant changes in code, limit the ability to conduct security assurance reviews.

“The basic idea of addressing this disconnect between security policies and agile software development came from happenstance conversation with software leaders in the industry,” said Ram Krishnan, associate professor in the UTSA Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The researchers looked at different machine learning approaches before settling on a deep learning approach, which can handle several formats of user stories. The model consists of three pieces to perform the prediction: access control classifications, named entity recognition and access type classification. Access control classification helps the software decide if user stories contain access control information. Named entity identifies the actors and data objects in the story. The access type classification determines the relationship between the two.

The team took a data set of 21 web applications, each consisting of 50-130 user stories or 1,600 total, to test their approach.

“With a dataset of 1,600 user stories, we developed a learning model based on transformers, a powerful machine learning technique,” Krishnan said. “We were able to extract security policies with good accuracy and visualize the results to help stakeholders better refine user stories and maintain an overview of the system’s access control.”

This innovative new approach will serve as a valuable tool in the modern agile software development life cycle, Krishnan said.

“Since agile software development focuses on incremental changes to code, a manual process of extracting security policies would be error-prone and burdensome,” he added. “This is yet another area where machine learning/artificial intelligence shows to be a powerful approach.”

Krishnan said the team still has several directions they would like to take the project.

“We recognize that there is little additional information about access control that can be extracted or determined directly from user stories in a fully automated approach,” Krishnan said. “That means it is difficult, or impossible, to determine a software’s exact access control from user stories without human involvement. We plan to extend our approach to make it interactive with stakeholders so that they can help refine the access control information.”

Even if you think that online intermediaries should be more proactive in detecting, deprioritizing, or removing certain user speech, the requirements on intermediaries to review all content before publication—often called “general monitoring” or “upload filtering”—raises serious human rights...

The European Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has published a draft law which aims to protect users rights to privacy and privacy.

De Europese Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) heeft een wetsontwerp gepubliceerd dat het recht van gebruikers op privacy en persoonlijke levenssfeer moet beschermen.

Specifically, these indirect requirements incentivize platforms to proactively monitor user behaviors, filter and check user content, and remove or locally filter anything that is controversial, objectionable, or potentially illegal to avoid legal responsibility. Whether directly mandated or strongly incentivized, general monitoring is bad for human rights and for users. • As the scale of online content is so vast, general monitoring commonly uses automated decision-making tools that reflect the dataset’s biases and lead to harmful profiling.

Deze indirecte eisen zetten platforms er met name toe aan om proactief het gedrag van gebruikers te monitoren, gebruikersinhoud te filteren en te controleren, en alles wat controversieel, aanstootgevend of mogelijk illegaal is te verwijderen of plaatselijk te filteren om juridische verantwoordelijkheid te ontlopen. Of het nu gaat om een rechtstreeks mandaat of om een sterke stimulans, algemene monitoring is slecht voor de mensenrechten en voor de gebruikers. - Omdat de schaal van online-inhoud zo groot is, wordt bij algemene monitoring gewoonlijk gebruik gemaakt van geautomatiseerde besluitvormingsinstrumenten die de vooringenomenheid van de dataset weerspiegelen en leiden tot schadelijke profilering.

Even if you think that online intermediaries should be more proactive in detecting, deprioritizing, or removing certain user speech, the requirements on intermediaries to review all content before publication—often called “general monitoring” or “upload filtering”—raises serious human rights concerns, both for freedom of expression and for privacy.

General monitoring is problematic both when it is directly required by law and when, though not required, it is effectively mandatory because the legal risks of not doing it are so great. Specifically, these indirect requirements incentivize platforms to proactively monitor user behaviors, filter and check user content, and remove or locally filter anything that is controversial, objectionable, or potentially illegal to avoid legal responsibility. This inevitably leads to over censorship of online content as platforms seek to avoid liability for failing to act “reasonably” or remove user content they “should have known” was harmful.

Whether directly mandated or strongly incentivized, general monitoring is bad for human rights and for users.
• As the scale of online content is so vast, general monitoring commonly uses automated decision-making tools that reflect the dataset’s biases and lead to harmful profiling.
• These automated upload filters are prone to error, are notoriously inaccurate, and tend to overblock legally protected expressions.
• Upload filters also contravene the foundational human rights principles of proportionality and necessity automated and often arbitrary decision-making.
• The active observation of all files uploaded by users has a chilling effect on freedom of speech and access to information by limiting the content users can post and engage with online.
• A platform reviewing every user post also undermines users privacy rights by providing companies, and thus potentially government agencies, with abundant data about users. This is particularly threatening to anonymous speakers.
• Pre-screening can lead to enforcement overreach, fishing expeditions (undue evidence exploration), and data retention.
• General monitoring undermines the freedom to conduct business, adds compliance costs, and undermines alternative platform governance models.
• Monitoring technologies are even less effective at small platforms, which don’t have the resources to develop sophisticated filter tools. General monitoring thus cements the gatekeeper role of a few power platforms and further marginalizes alternative platform governance models.

We have previously expressed concern about governments employing more aggressive and heavy-handed approaches to intermediary regulation, with policymakers across the globe calling on platforms to remove allegedly legal but ‘undesirable’ or ‘harmful’ content from their sites, while also expecting platforms to detect and remove illegal content. In doing so, states fail to protect fundamental freedom of expression rights and fall short of their obligations to ensure a free online environment with no undue restrictions on legal content, whilst also restricting the rights of users to share and receive impartial and unfiltered information. This has a chilling effect on the individual right to free speech wherein users change their behavior and abstain from communicating freely if they know they are being actively observed—leading to a pernicious culture of self-censorship.

In one of the more recent policy developments on intermediary liability, the European Union recently approved the Digital Services Act (DSA). The DSA rejects takedown deadlines that would have suppressed legal, valuable, and benign speech. EFF helped to ensure that the final language steered clear of intrusive filter obligations. By contrast, the draft UK Online Safety Bill raises serious concerns around freedom of expression by imposing a duty of care on online platforms to tackle illegal and otherwise harmful content and to minimize the presence of certain content types. Intrusive scanning of user content will be unavoidable if this bill becomes law.

So how do we protect user rights to privacy and free speech whilst also ensuring illegal content can be detected and removed? EFF and other NGOs have developed the Manila Principles which emphasize that intermediaries shouldn’t be held liable for user speech unless the content in question has been fully adjudicated as illegal and a court has validly ordered its removal. It should be up to independent, impartial, and autonomous judicial authorities to determine that the material at issue is unlawful. Elevating courts to adjudicate content removal means liability is no longer based on the inaccurate and heavy-handed decisions of platforms. This would also ensure that takedown orders are limited to the specific piece of illegal content as decided by courts or similar authority.

EFF has also previously urged that regulators ensure online intermediaries continue to benefit from exemptions on liability for third-party content, and any additional obligations must not curtail free expression and consumer innovation. To restrict content, these rules must be provided by laws; be precise, clear, and accessible; and must follow due process and respect the principle that independent judicial authorities should assess content and decide on its restriction. Decisively, intermediaries should not be held liable if they choose not to remove content based on a mere notification by users.

Regulators must take more effective voluntary actions against harmful content and adopt moderation frameworks that are consistent with human rights to make the internet free and limit the power of government agencies in flagging and removing potentially illegal content.

General Monitoring is not the Answer to the Problem of Online Harms

This lets you take notes on your screen with a pen, and the software catches your (probably) weird handwriting on your iPad.

Het mocht even duren, maar de (ogenschijnlijk) simpele functie van schrijven met een pen in Microsoft-software is beschikbaar op de iPad. De dienst is nog wel in een bètaversie.

Microsoft Office, toch wel het meest gebruikte stukje software als men werkt, ondersteunt nu ook Scribble op iPadOS. Hierdoor maak je met een pen aantekeningen op je scherm en de software snapt je (vast) rare handschrift op je iPad.

De ondersteuning van Scribble op iPad stopt niet alleen bij Word. Ook in Excel en Powerpoint kan je scribblen wat je wilt op je iPad. “Office Mobile heeft nu Apple’s Scribble, zodat je handschrift gebruikt kan worden in je creaties”, stelt Microsoft in een persbericht. “Je kan nu text in Office schrijven met je Apple Pencil.”

Ook wordt het makkelijker om tekst uit te lichten op je iPad en te gebruiken in een ander document of een andere browser, én er is (dit klinkt heel gek) line spacing toegevoegd. Het is een willekeurige ruimte voegen in een zin. Als je een beetje een neuroot bent qua opmaak is dit een fijne toevoeging.

Als je dan toch dramatisch bent qua opmaak (wij wel), is het nu ook mogelijk om een achtergrond in te stellen in je Microsoft-documenten. Door middel van een Slide Background-functie zet je met gemak je lievelingspoes in je presentaties.

Het is niet alsof je nu ineens, letterlijk, in de pen moet klimmen. De Office-versie die Scribble ondersteunt is 2.64 en is nog altijd in bèta. We blijven vooralsnog hangen op 2.63.2.

Het doet niets af aan het feit dat velen van ons een Microsoft-programma gebruiken en we binnen korte tijd ook Scribble op iPad kunnen gebruiken in Microsoft-apps, zeker ook vanwege het feit dat het leeuwendeel van onze collega’s het gebruiken.

Wanneer de bèta voor iPad precies uitkomt is niet bekend, maar Microsoft is zeker van zijn zaak dat de Scribble-functie volledig werkt zoals Apple het bedoeld heeft.
