Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

List of free Anti-Virus programs

List of free Anti-Virus programs

1. Avast! Free Antivirus

The free version of a very good anti-virus and anti-spyware engine which, in addition to the mentioned protections, also includes Web Shield, Behavior Shield, Script Shield, and much more. I put it on top of the sheet because of its low complexity and because of the efficiency in removing vermin.

Difficulty:

  • -Processor Pentium 3
  • -128 MB RAM
  • -200 MB free hard disk space

2. AVG Antivirus Free

Elsewhere, there is a very popular anti-virus, which in newer versions is much better at removing vermin than other free antiviruses. Its features are quite a good anti-virus and anti-spyware protection, fast scanning, LinkScanner plugin that blocks malicious sites, no fake tests, etc. The good news is that LinkScanner also scans links from Facebook, so you can be absolutely sure what kind of sites you visit.

Difficulty :

  • -Intel Pentium 1.8 GHz processor or faster
  • -512 MB RAM
  • -550 MB free hard disk space

3. Panda Cloud Antivirus Free

Panda Cloud antivirus has been on the market for almost a while and has become quite famous in a short time. First of all, it should be noted that it is totally "inaudible" when working with computers, even if, according to statistics, it is more demanding than other antiviruses. The characteristics of this anti-virus are small and simple installation, simple and attractive interface, noiseless operation of the computer, etc. I use this anti-virus and am very happy with it.

Difficulty:

  • -64 MB RAM
  • -100 MB free hard disk space

4. Avira AntiVir Personal

And if according to many it is convincingly the best free anti-virus, I put it in fourth place. Easy installation, a very good scanner, and efficient virus removal are the characteristics of this anti-virus. In my opinion, this antivirus is quite similar to the Panda Cloud anti-virus in terms of complexity, more precisely, it does not feel like running a computer.

Difficulty:

  • -Pentium 266 MHz or faster
  • -250 MB RAM
  • -100 Mb free hard disk space

5. Bitdefender Free Edition

Unlike the premium (paid) version, the free version of this anti-virus is quite crippled. This anti-virus is good at removing vermin, but its biggest drawback is that it doesn't have a real-time scanner, so I don't recommend it to anyone. The interface is accessible and the anti-virus does not cause any difficulties when using the computer.

Difficulty:

  • 800 MHz or faster
  • 256 MB RAM
  • 170 MB free hard disk space

How to copy text from an image (in 2 clicks, free)

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
