[OT] Malware not working

//Re Ransom.Win32.Shade, Trojan.Encoder.858 and Ranson:Win32/Troldesh.

A victim visiting a compromised site (either one that belongs to
cybercriminals or a site that has been hacked)is unwittingly infected.

Kaspersky explained that the victim typically has no clue that the
site is compromised and malicious code on the website exploits a
vulnerability in the browser or a plugin, and the Trojan is then
covertly installed in the system, the post said. Unlike the spam
delivery method, the victim doesn't even have to run an executable
file.//

I visited all the sites infected with the malware, but could
not catch it. Something about Win XP not being compatible. Is there a
quick fix for this ?
Installing Win 10 takes too long, by the time I've made my
system vulnerable, the malware will have moved.
TIA

I'd love a URL to test the automatic infection. Can you provide one?

What? The virus gave you a warning that your OS wasn't compatible with
its system requirements. Now I've heard it all.

Sorry, the admin of the ones I visited uninstalled win 10 and
replaced it with Debian or even (aggghhh) Ubuntu. But if I find more,
you'll be the first one to know.
Or just install win 10 yourself, and browse the net. There are
millions of zero days out there. I think even a virtual Win 10 running
from Linux will work.

PS I have no legal responsibility if you DO decide to install
win 10. Do it your own risk. The rest of my TOS is encrypted, as is
win 10's.

I have been using Windows 10 since released and without any anti-virus.
Somehow, I'm still alive.

Without any antivirus, or without any third party antivirus?

Windows 10 comes with Windows Defender as a default antivirus. When you
install Windows 10, Defender is installed an activated as part of the
OS, it is updates as as other parts of the OS when Windows 10 decides to
install updates.

Defender is a typical MS product

In all tests of AV software it came out last place or second last

In short: As ****ty as to be expected. MS software at its "best"

Except that all tests show that Windows Defender is an awful anti-virus
and doesn't protect anyone from anything. It's the same as not having an
anti-virus alone. Of course, I'm very willing to bet that without a real
anti-virus and relying solely on the garbage Microsoft provides, I still
won't get infected the way these lying advocates always seem to.

No, all tests don't show that. They do show that it isn't very good by
itself, but it does catch some on its own.

I wouldn't trust it either way. If I didn't make an image of my hard
disk every week and keep all of my most important data on a USB key, I'd
probably use a third-party anti-virus but I don't see the point.
However, if I do indeed get infected in drive-by fashion as Shadow
suggested in one of today's posts, I will have no choice but to move
away from the operating system in general.

I use it and malwarebytes. Great combo.

MAHAHAHAH

Now, I don't have to look for ANY specific examples of 'self
installing' malware for the pooh. You just did it for me. [g] Unless,
he wants to argue with Kaspersky Labs. MUAHAHAHA.
