Bleeping Computer is a computer help site founded by Lawrence Abrams in 2004. It is a resource site for answering computer, security, and technical questions. All services to the public are free, including malware and rootkit cleanup of infected computers and removal instructions on rogue anti-spyware programs. PC World magazine wrote about "sites like Bleeping Computer, where experienced volunteers offer tailored advice",[2][3] and linked to a TechHive page that called it a good place to find unbiased information.[4] Analysis by Bleeping Computer editors on newly detected ransomware families has been covered in major media ranging from NBC News to the BBC.

In early February 2016, Enigma Software, the developers of the anti-malware suite SpyHunter, filed a lawsuit[5] against Bleeping Computer in response to a negative review of SpyHunter, alleging a campaign to damage the reputation of their company and product.[6] Bleeping Computer requested financial aid from their readers to help pay legal fees arising from the lawsuit.[7] At the beginning of August 2016, Bleeping Computer filed[8] their own lawsuit against Enigma Software for an alleged long-running smear campaign against Bleeping Computer.[8] The lawsuit against BleepingComputer ended in settlement, with BleepingComputer removing Quietman7's posts on Enigma Software's product.[9]

Community

Members, volunteers and staff

In May 2014 there were over 640,000 registered members, the vast majority 'regular' members.[10] The membership also includes a significant proportion of members who work for the site, in varied roles, as volunteers. Volunteer roles include the Malware Response Team and Trainees and also BC Advisors. The site has an administration team, comprising the Administrator (owner), Site Administrators, Global Moderators and Moderators.[11]

Forums

Bleeping Computer's forums have subsections devoted to several operating systems, broad classes of application software, and malicious software removal, as well as sections for web browsers, home and small business networking and the macOS operating system.

Malware removal

Bleeping Computer offers free one-to-one malware removal help to registered users via its support forums. All malware removal help is provided by volunteers trained in the use of anti-malware tools such as HijackThis, DDS,[12] OTL, GMER, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and Rkill,[13] developed by Abrams.

Ransomware work

The CryptoLocker ransomware, believed to have appeared on 5 September 2013,[14] was reported on Bleeping Computer the following day, with a long thread discussing the malware and recommended responses.[15] Since then, Bleeping Computer's ransomware support topic forum has become very active, being often the first place where ransomware infections were spotted and reported.{{cn|date=September 2017}}

Bleeping Computer editors, along with help from security researchers, have published reports on various ransomware families on a regular basis, as they're spotted in the wild. Their work has been recognized, acknowledged, and cited in various articles in most major media that covers technology and IT security news.[16][17][18][19][20][21]

Many times, free decryptors to unlock files encrypted by various ransomware families have been released through the forums or the site's news section.

Resources

Tutorials

Bleeping Computer has a large library of free tutorials [22] covering the basics of TCP/IP, hardware configuration, partition management, internet security, and other topics. The site also includes mini guides such as "How to Re-Install Windows", "How to Install and Use Ubuntu or any version of Linux", and guides on removal of common malware infections.

Malware removal training program

Bleeping Computer offers a malware removal training program[23] at Sophomore, Junior, and Senior levels. Many graduates of the program remain active in the forum's malware assistance section. It is UNITE-accredited.[24]

Databases

Bleeping Computer maintains several databases of common programs, startup entries and files found in Microsoft Windows operating systems, including malware, with information on them.

Independence and funding

The US Federal Trade Commission requires disclosure of all relationships with manufacturers and advertisers of products and services described or recommended, and Bleeping Computer endorses this policy.[25] The site discloses instances where commission or advertising fees are generated, saying "We have outlined our product review standards and the various ways we use affiliate links", and that advertising will have no bearing on how products are reviewed.
