https://support.microsoft.com/it-it…-updates-7ff40d33-95dc-4c3c-8725-a9b95457578e: I don’t understand if Microsoft updated or will update automatically this.

I just saw this article by tech journalist Brian Livingston and I’m curious to learn what people who are knowledgeable about cybersecurity think about it. (Mods: If this sub-forum isn’t the best place for this thread, then please move it to a more suitable one, thanks.)

Microsoft quietly published a detailed breakdown of Windows 11 security, and they finally addressed a critical question that users have debated for years.

After using other imaging backup utilities over the years, I decided to try Macrium Reflect Professional. I just have to say in this early period that I find it to be an absolutely fine application. What do you guys think about it? Edit: By the way… I’ve been a Paragon fan for many years and still am.

Welcome to the TinyWall discussion thread About TinyWall TinyWall is a standalone firewall for 64-bit Windows systems, known for its no-popup approach. It is lightweight, easy to use, and a clear upgrade compared to Microsoft’s built-in firewall in Windows both feature- and security-wise. It is also free and completely respects your privacy. Why use TinyWall instead of Windows Firewall? Because TinyWall… makes it much easier to whitelist applications… TinyWall Firewall

Hi everyone, I’m curious how other security professionals and sysadmins track new CVEs efficiently. There are so many databases (NVD, CVE.org, vendor feeds) but they are often noisy or delayed. Do you rely on: – RSS feeds from NVD? – Commercial vulnerability scanners? – Open-source tools (like OWASP Dependency Check, Vulners)? – Twitter/X infosec accounts? – Something else (internal scripts, SIEM alerts)? Also, how do you prioritize which CVEs to patch first when you get a flood of… How do you keep up with new CVEs (vulnerabilities) in your daily work?

March 1, 2026 will mark the end of an amazing phase of my life: being a Wilders Super Moderator, as I’ll be retiring from that role on that date. Looking way back, I still remember getting infected with malware using Win98, and desperately searching to find a solution. That’s how I found this forum. I finally decided to join in July 2008, after being a lurker for a long time, to contribute some of my self-taught computer knowledge to others. I truly thank Paul Wilders, who noticed my… My Fellow Forum Members and Friends,

Hi everyone, I’ve been comparing self‑hosted security tools (like open‑source scanners) vs cloud‑based solutions (SaaS). Cloud‑based tools are convenient, but they often send your scan data (IPs, ports, CVE results) to external servers. This raises privacy concerns, especially for internal networks. Self‑hosted tools keep all data on your own infrastructure, but they require more maintenance and technical skills. What’s your take? Do you trust cloud‑based scanning with sensitive network… Self‑hosted security tools vs cloud‑based scanning – privacy implications
