Topic: My PC is Hacked, now what ? (Beta)
Let's face it, Windows machines can get hacked, and in some environments it happens a lot. Fortunately, Microsoft has built numerous tools into Windows so administrators and power users can analyse machines to determine whether they've been compromised. But many of us are not even aware of that! In this session I'll demonstrate the tools built into Windows for such analysis, as well as more free tools from Microsoft to help you out get of chaos! If you have ever had a virus in your PC than attending this session is a must for you.
