Chrome's RAM usage is higher than ever as Google introduces Site Isolation to fight Spectre

 

Google's Chrome browser may be popular, but you'll find a lot of its users complain about high memory usage. With Chrome 67, things just got even worse.

 

If you've noticed that Chrome on the desktop is using more RAM, you're not imagining it. Google has enabled a Site Isolation feature in Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS to help mitigate against the Spectre vulnerability -- and it's a bit memory-hungry.

SonicWall announces record numbers for malware volume, ransomware attacks, encrypted threats and chip-based attacks in the mid-year update of the 2018 SonicWall Cyber Threat Report.

 

“Real-time cyber threat intelligence is more critical than ever as cybercriminals continue to find new attack vectors — like encrypted and chip-based attacks,” said Chad Sweet, CEO at The Chertoff Group. “To stay protected in the cyber arms race, organizations must use every tool in their security toolbox, particularly technology that delivers the necessary visibility to enhance an organization’s security posture.”

  • "I am using it for my Mac. Though it says that MacOS is a safer OS in comparasion to others, it still feels great having Webroot covering my back on top of that, through daily scan reports and web browser filtering! Great customer support as well."

  • "All of our computers run Webroot. I recommend it to my customers and they always tell me they are really glad that I recommended it and they continue to this day using it."

  • "Good customer service. Also webroot is sincere to its customers, and service providers are always ready to help. I like webroot secureanywhere antivirus service and l will advice anyone wants a good protection antivirus to his or her system to use webroot."
 
VPN Beta? I hope to jon that group. I use several VPN products, so I have a number to compare against. Looking forward to trrying it out. 

 

And the story of Ransomware is a bit scary. I have already been hit once on my home machine. Lucky for me I keep excellent backups, so I just wipped everything clean, went back several versions, and did a restore. Still, it took a long amount of time to fix. Hopefully products will get better and better at protecting us. 

 

As always, thinks for the updates and news.

Sorry to hear you ran into that, never fun to reload a backup or OS.
