In the morning we published a warning for Google Chrome users in Windows. According to the Defense Code, a bug on Google Chrome allows attacks through browser downloads.
Turn off automatic downloads in Google Chrome
An option for your safety is the apactivation of automatic downloads through the application settings.
From the Chrome address
chrome: // settings
scroll down and click "Show advanced settings" or Show advanced settings ....
Even further down you will find the "Downloads" section or Downloads.
Check the "where to save each file before download" as in the picture below.
Simply turning on this setting will ask Chrome to save the files each time the browser starts downloading.
________________
Although you add a level of protection to manipulating Chrome downloads, edited SCF files may come in different ways in systems targeting hackers.
One of the protection options that users and system administrators have is to close the ports used by SMB traffic through the firewall (firewall). Microsoft has a driver that you can use, and suggests blocking communication to and from the Internet on the SMB 137, 138, 139, and 445 ports.
Warning: Excluding these ports can also affect other Windows services such as fax service, print spooler, local area networking, or file and printer sharing.
