Copilot on Windows 11 Update is Rolling Out Across All Insider Channels

Microsoft has updated the Copilot app on Windows 11, introducing two key features.

Signal Messenger Impersonated in ‘ProSpy’ Android Spyware Campaign

ESET researchers have identified two Android spyware campaigns, ProSpy and ToSpy, which masquerade as secure messaging apps, Signal and ToTok. These malware families were first detected in June 2025 and are distributed through phishing websites and fake app marketplaces. ProSpy, which mimics a “Signal encryption plugin” or an enhanced ToTok, extracts sensitive user information, including SMS messages, contacts, and device metadata, after gaining permissions. It disguises itself as “Play Services” to avoid detection. ToSpy, discovered concurrently, seeks to capture specific files related to ToTok backups and collects various document types. Both malware types maintain long-term access to infected devices and have been reported to Google, resulting in Play Protect blocking their known variants. The main targets of these campaigns are users in the United Arab Emirates.

System Restore: Allows users to create restore points for system recovery but is not enabled by default due to disk space concerns. 2. End Task Feature: Enables users to right-click on unresponsive apps in the taskbar to force quit them, but requires activation through Settings. 3.

Hibernate Mode: A power-saving option that saves the system state to the hard drive, not readily accessible in power settings and requires enabling through Control Panel or command line. 5.

5 reasons why Windows isn’t the best OS for productivity

Operating systems significantly influence user interactions with computers, accommodating various preferences. Windows is the most widely used operating system for traditional desktops but has several productivity limitations: 1. Windows installations often come with excessive pre-installed applications (bloatware), unlike macOS and most Linux distributions, which have minimal bloatware. 2. Windows lacks built-in productivity software, requiring users to purchase Microsoft Office or use alternatives, while macOS includes basic applications and Linux offers LibreOffice for free. 3. Windows does not have an integrated local file-sharing solution comparable to Apple's AirDrop, making file transfers between devices more cumbersome. 4. Keyboard and touchpad shortcuts in Windows are less intuitive and consistent compared to macOS, which can hinder productivity for users accustomed to macOS gestures. 5. Windows is a primary target for malware due to its widespread use, leading to a higher risk of system compromise compared to macOS and Linux, which encounter less malware.
