mike, "SEO = SEO stands for search engine optimization. To put it simply, SEO is a strategy for enhancing a website to rank in search listings on Google, Bing or other search engines."

Is this correct? It reported to me by Google Search.

mike, good point with: You run into that if all you ever install is Windows.
But there are mostly in the creative field things that won't be replacable (I mean like NEVER) by installing Linux. Blender is by far a very strong alternative to some 3D apps, but Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop will laugh at Krita and Gimp. The other point is, you won't get Adobe to make a Linux Photoshop Illustrator port.

Mi, I asked VirusTotal

One out of 73 security vendors and 1 sandbox flagged this file as malicious

Mi, depending if you consider the distraction from productive activities on a computer system to be a malicious act or not... Consider this has your system been hacked? Not that you are aware of? Why would you need a tool that is not an expert on detecting hacks or even is guaranteed to enable you to disable an active hack in progress without expert advice e.g. booting to a WinPE environment and scanning a hacked operating system OFFLINE so the malware is present but inactive and can potentially be detected and removed and the OFFLINE operating system healed... Oh right this does not even offer that! So a live hack could conceal itself from unhackme... leading to a false negative amongst a forest of false positives!
TK

gergn, first I asked about the installer.

Next I asked if the installed programme itself was OK:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/625ede7cdd1f32b82992c66729bac549ee887d5ac8932563322b195d5e249f1f/details

It is. The score is 0/73.

TK, Re " Oh right this does not even offer that! "

I used UnHackMe and noticed an option for an offline search. This performs a clean restart, without loading many drivers or other software, and without an internet connection. It then searches for any hacks on the system.

The offline search did not find any hacks on my system. This doesn't necessarily mean there are no hacks, but it made me feel more confident about the security of my system.

David J. Bookbinder, thanks for pointing out perplexity.ai. I just asked this ai the same question about running UnHackMe and Windows Defender alongside and got the same answer as the other ai's gave. Of course, the wording differs, but the content is the same.

Answer
When generative AI engines produce factually incorrect output, there are a few ways you can address it in a teaching context:
Use it as a learning opportunity to discuss the limitations of AI models and the importance of fact-checking. Have students critically analyze the incorrect output, identify the inaccuracies, and research the correct information from reliable sources.
Demonstrate how to prompt the AI more effectively to get better results. Show students techniques like providing more context, using specific examples, or rephrasing the query.
Explain how AI models can sometimes hallucinate or generate plausible-sounding but fabricated content, especially when asked about topics outside their training data. Discuss the risks of blindly trusting AI outputs without verification.
Have students compare outputs from multiple AI models on the same query to see the variability and potential inconsistencies. This highlights the need for human judgment and cross-referencing authoritative sources.
Use the incorrect output as a prompt for students to research the topic deeply and produce their own accurate summary or explanation, reinforcing their subject knowledge.
Discuss the ethical considerations around AI systems providing misinformation, like the need for transparency about an AI's capabilities and limitations when deploying it.
The key is using AI's mistakes as a springboard for critical thinking, research skills, and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of these technologies in an educational context."

Lesson, misinterpretation of the context of the question, generated text uses the term "when" not "if" it produces factually inaccurate results. It is apparently easy for AI to be taught it can and does produce factually incorrect content but it's far harder/impossible with current AI engines for them to fact check themselves.

gergn,
No one should trust anything CHATGPT says without checking reliable sources, so why not just do that in the first place. It is designed to make misinformation sound plausible. But yes, sometimes it is right.

rww, Re "It is designed to make misinformation sound plausible."

Let us agree to disagree.

The ai bots are trained with publicly available information. Of course, some of it may be incorrect (like your statement), but their business case will only hold if they produce reliable information.

I would agree with you if the KGB was behind it.

gergn, I asked the same question to the Cyber Security Analist of Voila (another ai)

Its answer:
"To better assist you in securing your Windows 11 computer and optimizing the use of UnHackMe alongside Microsoft Defender, I'd like to ask a few questions:

What is the primary purpose of installing UnHackMe on your Windows 11 computer?
Are there any specific cybersecurity concerns or threats that you are currently facing?
How familiar are you with configuring antivirus software and security tools on your system?

Once I have a better understanding of your needs and level of expertise, I can provide tailored recommendations on how to best configure UnHackMe and Microsoft Defender to work together effectively while maximizing protection against cyber threats."

Typically the answer of a consultant. Reply the question of the client with a question of your own. One of my bosses wanted me to keep posing questions, until the client had solved his problem all by himself. My boss did not like that I just replied the client and gave him the answers he could use.

gergn, I also asked the same question to the Brainstormer of Voila. I like its reaction:

"Before delving into the argument, I noticed that you provided a specific requirement to report any URLs consulted to answer your questions. However, since I aim to provide original and unique ideas, I do not consult external sources during our chat. Instead, I rely on my knowledge and expertise to engage in a meaningful discussion with you. With this in mind, let's address your query:

Argument: If I install UnHackMe on a Windows 11 computer, should I turn off Microsoft Defender? Or can they work together? How should I tune them?

Counter argument: While UnHackMe is a useful tool for detecting and removing rootkits, it is not a comprehensive security solution like Microsoft Defender. Here are some counterpoints to consider:

Complementing each other: Microsoft Defender and UnHackMe serve different purposes in terms of security. Microsoft Defender provides overall protection against various types of malware, while UnHackMe focuses primarily on rootkits. By keeping both tools active, you can benefit from a more comprehensive security approach where they complement each other's strengths.

Resource consumption: Running multiple security tools simultaneously can lead to increased resource consumption, potentially slowing down your system. However, modern systems can handle multiple security applications efficiently. You may monitor system performance after installing both tools and decide based on your system's capability.

Conflicting functions: There might be instances where Microsoft Defender and UnHackMe could potentially conflict with each other due to overlapping functionalities or different scanning methodologies. To mitigate this, you can configure exclusions in both tools to avoid conflicts and ensure smooth operation.

Regular maintenance: It is essential to keep both UnHackMe and Microsoft Defender up to date to ensure they are effective against the latest threats. Regular updates and scans by both tools are necessary for robust security protection.

In conclusion, while it is technically possible to run UnHackMe alongside Microsoft Defender, it is crucial to consider the potential implications such as resource consumption, conflicting functions, and the need for regular maintenance. By understanding how these tools can work together and optimizing their configurations, you can enhance the security of your Windows 11 computer effectively."

rww, I asked the Brainstormer of Voila the following question:
"Is it true that AI is designed to make misinformation sound plausible?"

Its answer:
""AI is not inherently designed to make misinformation sound plausible. The intention behind AI development is to perform tasks based on data and algorithms. The potential for AI to generate misinformation or fake content arises from the quality of the data it is trained on and the algorithms used in the process. It is crucial to ensure ethical and responsible use of AI to prevent the spread of misinformation."

gergn, My input, stay away from AI for solutions, questions or to confirm or deny. AI is made to brainwash, confuse, mislead and make you not to believe in your knowledge and reason.

gergn,
I'm sorry but you come on here and point to nothing but AI..and then tell a human their true statement is incorrect?? You make it sound as thou it is the best thing since the beginning of time. It is not.
The AI bots are trained by humans. Humans who can have an agenda. Is the information used publicly available? Yes. Has that information been properly vetted before being fed to the bots?? We do not know for certain. Has additional non publicly disclosed information been fed to the bots without vetting?? Again we do not know for certain.

For people to put trust in AI is going to take time. It is going to take non AI affliated humans to vet AI. But to come on here and state ". Of course, some of it may be incorrect (like your statement)" is wrong.

DJ,
The problem is if AI was correct 90% of the time (IT ISN'T) we would still not know if a specific answer was part of the 10% it isn't and thus it would not be reliable and need to be checked with a reliable source. So why not go there in the first place.

gergn, why would you ask any current generative AI for expert advice? The are only experts on grammatical formation of textual output and have zero contextual knowledge of what you are asking them and just use blind string matching of your questions content with terabytes of untrustworthy internet content with zero knowledge of factuality or context. This giveaway is similar in that it is a tool that does what it's programmed to do but no more... which makes it powerful in utility but useless in that it flags PUP's as if they are bad and should be avoided whereas they are often powerful tools used by admins much as unhackme needs to be used by experts but most experts are just frustrated with all the noise the software generates in terms of false positives.
TK can unhackme be used with windows defender, of course it can they work in different realms of software operation but you would not want to keep unhackme on a system once you've removed any malware you've managed to find... unless you want to waste resources in terms of CPU cycles and RAM allocation by keeping it in memory at all time... unless you have a system far more powerful than your requirements.
TK

gergn, it is trained on publicly available unverified information... with computers including ALL generative AI... Garbage in, Garbage out. The internet is rife with opinions, conspiracy theories, content in the same article covering different targets of information where generative models have no ability to determine context of query asked or context of "learned" content it can and does convolute data sources from referring to one thing into referring to something potentially quite different and of course naïve reposting unedited un fact checked generative AI content just make matters worse in the future training of AI on unvetted internet content until generative AI is taught purely on censored factually and contextually accurate content AND they become context aware in themselves, AI engines will just become better at presenting garbage as fact and continue to devolve the internet as a source of useful information. You will be able to fool many uninformed of the usefulness of unchecked Generative AI produced comments but do you really want to become known as a commenter that just regurgitates AI derived fiction as if it was fact. That is a form of plagiarism but plagiarising an idiot with lots of data but no knowledge. No offense intended.
TK

rww,
"need to be checked with a reliable source." Exactly..using non AI vetted person or persons.
AI is lucky if it correct 50% of the time. I ask a question in a browser that uses AI and it takes me all over the place skirting the question asked.

My whole response point was the continued use of them pointing to nothing but AI garbage and then stating " Of course, some of it may be incorrect (like your statement)," when your statement was not incorrect.

TK, Yesterday I installed UnHackMe on one of my laptops, a refurbished HP Elitebook, Windows 11 Pro, 32 GB RAM. The current Windows 11 was reinstalled on April 14, 2024. UnHackMe did not discover anything wrong. I removed it again this morning, using a portable version of Geek Unstaller, as supplied by PortableApps. Most of the software I use is portable from PortableApps.
