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.

Bitdefender - protect your FB account

Bitdefender - protect your FB account

We are aware of the risk we are exposed to when our computer is infected with a virus. As social networks have become commonplace in our lives, so have they become a major target of viruses.

Every computer should have an anti-virus installed to protect it, but what if a virus appears on a social network (in our case Facebook)?

These viruses are designed so that we share them ourselves without even being aware of them. The virus developer only needs to decode it and put it on the Internet, everything else is "done" by the users themselves.

Now, in order not to "hook" this type of virus, you must have some protection on your account. That job is taken over by BitDefender Safego.

This is a Facebook application that searches for infected posts, links ... on Facebook. When a friend of yours "hangs up" a virus, this application will show you which friend it is, which post it is, and which link. Of course, the app can't remove the virus, but it can alert you so you'll know you're not clicking on those links.

There is also an anti-virus of the same name which is officially the best-paid AV and you can download it from this link.

Using the BitDefender Safego application is extremely easy. When you go to the application, click "Allow" and you will be automatically redirected to the main page from where you can scan the profile.

You can see the "Start PC scan" button in the lower right corner. Clicking this button will start downloading the Chrome add-on. After the installation, a new button with the BitDefender logo will appear to the right of the address field, from where you can quickly scan your computer. This is free.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
