<p>In this article, we will discuss wp20.ru link message circulating on WhatsApp. We might get this message from friends/family please don&#8217;t click it it is a malicious link(contains a virus).</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="525" height="312" src="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_whatsapp_message.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2726" srcset="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_whatsapp_message.png 525w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_whatsapp_message-300x178.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px" /><figcaption>Wp20 Whatsapp message </figcaption></figure></div>



<p>I got these messages from some of my friends, but I normally don&#8217;t click this kind of suspicious link. I decided to do an analysis of it. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="369" src="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virustotal_analysis-1024x369.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2730" srcset="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virustotal_analysis-1024x369.png 1024w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virustotal_analysis-300x108.png 300w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virustotal_analysis-768x277.png 768w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virustotal_analysis.png 1058w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>We can see 9 different antivirus vendors listed this link as Malware/Phishing/ Suspicious link. So stay away from this link, If you see a link starting with wp20.ru don&#8217;t click it.</p>



<p> </p>

<script>
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>



<p></p>



<p>If you accidentally clicked it, then it is better to restart your phone/desktop clear the browser cache, cookies, etc.</p>



<p>To clear the browser cache:</p>



<ul><li>Chrome users follow these <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&amp;oco=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steps</a>. </li><li>Firefox users follow these <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steps</a>.</li><li>Safari users these <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201265" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">steps</a>.</li></ul>



<p>The Wp20 link belongs to the following malicious categories:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="400" height="151" src="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virus_categories.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2733" srcset="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virus_categories.png 400w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wp20_virus_categories-300x113.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure>



<p>It would instantly download a virus that would run on your computer/mobile device and pollute your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge&#8230;all are vulnerable), and regularly show you aggressive advertisements.</p>



<p>A link, sent by Whatsapp users, would claim that by clicking on the link, you would get a basket of Milka chocolate, something to please your loved ones ahead of Easter.&nbsp;Unfortunately, this link does nothing but install this virus.&nbsp;It is therefore important not to send it to 20 contacts, as requested.</p>



<p>Follow the steps to stay away from these suspicious links</p>



<ul><li>Do not click on the suspicious link on WhatsApp messages/social media.</li><li>If you clicked on the link, do not put your personal information.</li><li>Do not send this link around.</li><li>It is better to use free antivirus software like <a href="https://www.avast.com/en-us/index" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Avast</a> it will prevent loading malicious links/viruses.</li></ul>

<p>Windows 11 is the new upcoming operating system from Microsoft. We are excited about its new features and revamped look. It has some specific minimum hardware requirements. In this article, we will discuss various methods to check those requirements.</p>

<p>Windows speed mainly depend on installed RAM and type of the drive. Solid state drives are better in speed compared to hard disk. Increasing the amount of RAM can also speed up the system.  Instead of replacing hardware we can do some tweaks in exiting windows to improve speed which we will discuss here.</p>



<h3>1.Clearing the temporary folder of Windows</h3>





<p>Windows has a temporary folder which is used by other applications to store temporary data. This folder may contain cookies, internet history, application cache files. Typical location of of this temporary folder can be C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp<br>To access this folder in the search box of windows 10 type %temp% (as shown below)<br>Or<br>Run command type %temp% </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="357" height="675" src="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/tempfolder-1.png" alt="Running temp command" class="wp-image-47" srcset="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/tempfolder-1.png 357w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/tempfolder-1-159x300.png 159w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/tempfolder-1-317x600.png 317w" sizes="(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px" /><figcaption>Running %temp% command</figcaption></figure>



<p>This will open up temp folder select all the files in temp folder and delete.</p>



<p><strong>Method 2 &#8211; Using a third party software (CCleaner)</strong></p>



<p>CCleaner is a good utility software used to clean potentially unwanted files and invalid Windows Registry entries from a computer. You can download and install CCleaner from <a href="https://www.ccleaner.com/">https://www.ccleaner.com/</a> .Run analyze and run cleaner to free all temporary files.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cccleaner_use.png" alt="Clearing temp folder using third party software" class="wp-image-55" width="758" height="526" srcset="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cccleaner_use.png 1010w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cccleaner_use-300x208.png 300w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cccleaner_use-768x533.png 768w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cccleaner_use-450x312.png 450w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/cccleaner_use-864x600.png 864w" sizes="(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px" /><figcaption>CCleaner to clear temporary files</figcaption></figure>



<h3>2.Disabling unwanted startup programs</h3>



<p>After windows boot certain programs will start in the background .These programs will consume system resources. To resolve this we need to disable unwanted startup programs using system configuration.</p>



<p>For windows 10 open the task manager and check startup tab. We can disable unwanted software by right clicking and disabling it</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="581" height="372" src="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/windows10-startup.png" alt="" class="wp-image-58" srcset="https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/windows10-startup.png 581w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/windows10-startup-300x192.png 300w, https://nolowiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/windows10-startup-450x288.png 450w" sizes="(max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px" /><figcaption>Windows 10 startup program</figcaption></figure>
