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.

Microsoft makes AI antivirus using 400 million computers!

As Ransomware viruses began to appear rapidly and spread, such as WannaCry recently, Microsoft decided to take Windows PC protection to a whole new level. They plan to do that by upgrading the Windows Defender antivirus, which comes with Windows, by adding artificial intelligence that uses 400 million computers to protect against viruses!

The company says the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10 OS will allow users to take advantage of cloud-connected protection under Windows Defender. That way, every Windows 10 computer user will have protection against such viruses almost instantly thanks to a network that will be built from computers that also use this type of protection.

This kind of protection system will prevent Ransomware, and similar, viruses as soon as they appear because when a minimum number of computers report a virus, that information is sent to everyone else and the antivirus starts working and removes the virus on other computers.

This protection will be integrated into Windows Defender called "Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection" (very creative) and will use Machine learning to detect and prevent viruses from spreading rapidly.

Microsoft makes AI antivirus using 400 million computers!

As CNET and TNW have learned, this option will be available only for Windows enterprise users for now, and whether it will be for ordinary users as well - they are waiting for a response from Microsoft.

In my opinion, this approach in the fight against new dangerous viruses is logical and I think it will be effective.

Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Sim review [video + images]

The Xperia Z5 is another great flagship model from the Z family of devices that Sony launched in September this year, about a month ago. The case design is great . The side edges are slightly curved to make the phone fit better in the hand, and the back of the device has a fine finish so there are no glare and fingerprints.
