Its beggining of end of cmd

 the latest Windows 10 Insider Build 14971, Microsoft has replaced Command Prompt with PowerShell as the default shell system. Microsoft calls it a way to bring the best command line experience to the users. However, the users can tweak some settings and make Command Prompt the default shell.

Microsoft has released a new windows 10 build 1471. The latest release brings many new features likes the ability to read EPUB books in Microsoft Edge web browser, and the new Paint 3D application. Another big change in Build 14971 comes in the form of making PowerShell the default shell in Windows 10.

Microsoft has included Command Prompt in its Windows operating systems since a very long time. One the other hand, PowerShell is a comparatively newer and more powerful shell in Windows operating system. With this change, Microsoft aims to bring “the best command line experiences to the forefront for all power users”.

From now on, in Windows 10, PowerShell will be the defacto command shell from File Explorer. If you’ll press WIN+X, you’ll get PowerShell menu. Command Prompt is also replaced from the context menu that pops up when you Shift+Right-click any empty space. Typing cmd in Run will also open PowerShell in the new Windows 10 Insider build.

IN WINDOWS 10, POWERSHELL WILL BE THE DEFACTO COMMAND SHELL


What if I want to stick with Command Prompt?

If you aren’t ready to accept this change and ditch Command Prompt, you can opt out of the WIN+X change. To do this, open Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. Now, turn the “Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the Start button or press Windows key+X” option to “Off”.

The users are having a choice at the moment, but the future of Command Prompt remains unclear. One can expect Redmond to remove Command Prompt completely in future.

Fun Fact: Microsoft is also celebrating PowerShell’s 10th birthday this week. So, a shift to a more powerful shell shouldn’t shock Windows users.

Lunix malware havoc

The Krebs DDoS attacks have proven that the IoT landscape is a fertile ground that can breed huge botnets capable of launching massive DDoS assaults. As such, it should be no surprise that malware authors are now focusing their efforts on this sector and putting out new threats in the hopes of building the next Mirai botnet. One of the latest additions to the IoT malware market is a trojan codenamed Linux/NyaDrop, recently reverse engineered by MalwareMustDie, the same researcher who discovered the Mirai malware. MalwareMustDie points out in his research that this binary appeared in May, but was somewhat simplistic and not that common. Things changed after the Krebs DDoS attacks, and a new sample has appeared on the market, with the malware’s author most likely drawn back to the IoT landscape by Mirai’s success. Just like most IoT malware nowadays, NyaDrop’s author relies on brute-forcing Internet-exposed IoT devices using their default credentials. In a conversati...

Remove virus from android

Desktops aren’t the only gadgets that can be affected by a virus. Android devices have a malware problem and it’s growing every day. If you do get a virus, you could perform a factory reset to get rid of it, but that means you’d lose all your data — those photos you shot, the saved games, the text messages, and everything else. Obviously, you want a factory reset to be your last option. So what can you do to remove a virus from Android without a factory reset? Is It Really a Virus? If your phone isn’t functioning the way it should be, there’s a chance you have some malware on it. One wrong tap somewhere and a malicious file might have been downloaded on your phone, which is leeching battery life, Internet resources, or your personal data. But it could be something else. Suppose your Android refuses to boot or crashes every time it starts up. Or maybe you can’t seem to download apps from the Play Store. These are not necessarily caused...
