Warning: Google's Chrome Browser Secretly Scans All Files on Your PC

Google Chrome Privacy Risk Dismissed By Google Security. A disturbing discovery was made by Kelly Shortridge, a security expert, who found her private files were being routinely scanned.
Google Chrome programmed its Cleanup Tool for antivirus protection. The tool is built-in to Chrome, but when this issue was brought to light, it turned out that many were not even aware of its presence. Shortridge, who currently works for BAE systems within the Applied Intelligence department, maintains a strong social media presence with her writings focused on Information Security, even attending Black Hat 2017 as a key speaker. She was surprised to find the tool had invaded her Documents and searched through private information without her knowledge or consent. Upon this discovery, she raised this issue with Google.

Google's response has been to point out that the function of the Clean-up tool is mere to seek out corrupted files and viruses and that its periodic scans are listed in its policy agreement. Head of security for Google, Justin Schuh replied to Shortridge and others he had been receiving queries from that the CCT (Chrome Cleanup Tool) is only for Windows computers and is not a cloud Antivirus tool. He does not believe there to be a privacy issue at all.

Shortridge, however, noted that some of the data of a file that had been earmarked by CleanUp were part of her Documents and that data from this file had been sent to Google as part of the CCT's process. Other Google Chrome users have been left worried as the safety of their private data. They receive no sympathy however from Schuh who tweeted he wished to get back to his holidays. Virus Bulletin editor Martijn Grooten also dismissed the privacy concern. In a Motherboard article, he claimed that those who did not wish their data viewed by Google should not use Google. Shortridge retweeted the responses from Justin Schuh to her followers who were less than impressed by his explanation and attitude.

That's an acquired skill. Closest I can come with my toolbox is bow and arrow.

acquired (with just a little practice) and pretty much untraceable


dang and what do you run after chrome?

I use Seamonkey and Firefox

I use Firefox, but one must assume everything is polluted and has been for a while.

The only thing that's secret now is what's in your head and even that is under intense assault. When they cross that threshold it's time for a bullet in the brainpan.

Ever seen "Minority Report"? They won't stop there, especially the F'ing Deep State.

Now that I think about it, they probably popped that cherry long ago.

  well i guess i'll try to go back to firefox..thanks guys
never heard of seamonkey but that's no surprise with my limited on line understanding

Irene i try real hard to be positive and it is getting harder..but
i would rather fight them  in some way...and there are ways
a good defense can be an offense

I'm waiting for critical mass, if you know what I mean. 

[space otter]

yeah  i think i do....

[zorgon]

I use Seamonkey and Firefox 

I have Comodo Dragon firewall and use Stealth Mode...  have had no issues

Google may read the files BUT if you block OUTGOING apps   nothing will happen

There's one thing I don't understand in that Chrome case: from what I have seen, Chrome Cleanup Tool is an independent program that has to be specifically downloaded, it's not part of Chrome. Apparently, it uses the Chrome processes to run, but only if people downloaded it.

No more secrets! New mind-reading machine can translate your thoughts and display them as text INSTANTLY

Scientists have developed an astonishing mind-reading machine which can translate what you are thinking and instantly display it as text.
They claim that it has an accuracy rate of 90 per cent or more and say that it works by interpreting consonants and vowels in our brains.
The researchers believe that the machine could one day help patients who suffer from conditions that don't allow them to speak or move.

The machine registers and analyses the combination of vowels and consonants that we use when constructing a sentence in our brains.
It interprets these sentences based on neural signals and can translate them into text in real time.
In fact, scientists claim that the machine can use words that it hasn't even heard before.   

Study leader David Moses told the Sun: 'No published work has demonstrated real-time classification of sentences from neural signals.
'Given the performance exhibited by [the machine] in this work and its capacity for expansion, we are confident in its ability to serve as a platform for the proposed speech prosthetic device.'
There are fears from critics, however, that the device will cause problems if secret thoughts are exposed accidentally.
The device was developed at the University of California and explained in the Journal of Neural Engineering.

Firefox is different, as it's an open source project from the Mozilla Foundation. While Google Chrome is based on an open source project (Chromium), they changed the code for their specific intentions.

Seamonkey, if I'm not mistaken, is based on Firefox code.
