Are we never fully secure unless we are
offline?
Things are rarely as they seem on the Internet. If you’re reading this, then you’re well aware of this fact, and are probably way ahead of me!
The most recent Heart bleed vulnerability really gave us pause: Whether it was a government website, educational institution or corporate database, there was a risk that important information was leaked. In such instances, changing every single password is basically the only way to achieve peace of mind, right?
There is one thing that we do know: Changing your password is useless if you have a malicious keylogger squatting in your registry. There are thousands of other Trojans and similar viruses that wait for the right opportunity to strike.
Cryptolocker made billions of dollars for hackers who will most likely never be caught. It locks the user out of their computer, essentially holding it hostage and demanding payment via credit card or Paypal to unlock Windows. It’s unfortunate, but once you’re locked out, how many anti-virus programs can really say that they are able to help you out of it?
Anti-virus programs find and eliminate threats in your hard drive that are already present. That is, assuming your definitions is indeed current. With approximately 2.5-billion Internet users globally, how likely is it that your anti-virus software is fully capable of finding every single threat on your PC?
Let’s face it. It’s pure chaos out there. They say that life is a game. In the world of computing, we have one very important advantage: We can save our game!
Rollback RX is one of the software bolsters your ability to protect yourself from the malicious entities on the web. Offering near-instant system restores capability, along with the ability to keep perfect back-ups of your system at any point you wish!
Let’s assume you are infected with a cryptolocker. Rollback RX runs in the subset of your hard disk, allowing you to run different BIOS when you boot. Think of it like the safer safe mode. Cryptolocker (As well as any other kind of virus/invader) cannot touch you when you are in this mode. With the virtual snapshots you took of your hard drive when it was clean and virus free, you can simply revert back. Your PC will be moved to the exact specifications of the chosen restore point.
Keep in mind that it’s important to make frequent back-ups of your data. Even with software like Rollback RX, it’s still very important to have proper anti-virus installed! You can never be too careful, so having both options leaves you with peace of mind: Something that is worth even more than the data you want protected.
