Bleeping Computer® is an information security and technology news publication created in 2004 by Lawrence Abrams. Millions of visitors come to BleepingComputer.com every month to learn about the latest security threats, technology news, ways to stay protected online, and how to use their computers more efficiently.

For our work in analyzing ransomware, issuing news alerts about the latest security threats, and offering free ransomware decryptors, BleepingComputer is the first news and support site to be added as a partner of the No More Ransom Project. This project was started in 2016 as an alliance between Europol's European Cybercrime Centre, the National High Tech Crime Unit of the Netherlands police, and McAfee to battle ransomware.

In addition to news, we provide a wide array of free technical support services, downloads, and self-education tools that allow users to resolve issues on their computer. Whether you are a novice user here to learn basic concepts about computers or an advanced user infected with ransomware, BleepingComputer can offer solutions to your problem for free.


Ultimately, our goal is to turn your #$@!* computer that never does what you want into one that you praise as a well-tamed tool.
