  1. For at least a month - I’ve been getting multiple brute force RDP attacks on port 3389.  I have remote desktop setup for those times I am out of the office and cannot physically use this computer.  I’m attacked from what looks like dozens of IP address.    Is there anything I should do to minimize risk?

     

    I’m using Windows 10 Pro.  The password to this computer is 32 random characters long.  there is a PIN that I use every day that is much shorter.  I assume that the PIN isn’t useable if you’re not physically in front of the computer using the attached keyboard - but I don’t know much about Windows 10 and how it should  work.   I have an old router, therefore my computer sits behind the router.     I’m also using a VPN.  Would a VPN make any difference?  Or, have they simply found my  actual IP address and getting in through that?   My VPN IP address changes every day.

     

     

  2. I can’t seem to stop these messages.    The message (see attached) is informing me that I have software that is rarely used.    How do you stop these annoying messages?

     

     

    That doesn’t work.  I’ve unchecked “rarely used” and still get this annoying popup.   I’m glad my subscription will end in less than a year.  I plan to discontinue using Kaspersky because of then never-ending annoying pop up messages.  

  3. Yeah, their popups came back - looks a little different now- but the annoying popups are back with a vengeance.  I want NOTHING to do with Kaspersky anymore.  No - I never used any other product of theirs.    

     

    So, how do I get rid of this annoying pop up advertisement?   At this point in time my only option is to remove Kaspersky and never use Kaspersky again. Unfortunately,  I bought a five year license - but, at this point it just isn’t worth the hassle I have to constantly deal with.   Better to cut my losses and move on.

     

    Like a nasty virus - I need to purge my system of Kaspersky.

     

     

  4. I believe the problem may be resolved. I've contacted SiteGround and they have made changes to remove the 1915house.com reference and used a subdomain wild card with das-eng.com (so that autodiscover.das-eng.com will not trigger anything). Hopefully, those changes will prevent Kaspersky from notifying me if a certificate problem each and every time I use Microsoft Word. So far, at the time of writing this, I haven't seen the message pop up. I'll know for sure in a day or two if this is 100% eliminated.
  5. Not sure why my shared hosting site uses a bad certificate. I have contacted my hosting site about this in the past (SiteGround) - but no luck. I wrote another service ticket with SiteGround just this morning. All I did was buy Microsoft Office, used my email for that account and now I get this annoying message from Kaspersky. Sorry, Kaspersky, but I've had quite enough of your endless and hyper-annoying messages. I'm getting rid of Kaspersky. I'll probably ditch SiteGround too.
