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

By Administrator
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.

Windows Defender achieved the best test results

By Administrator
Windows Defender achieved the best test results

Whenever we talk about anti-virus Windows Defender we never even take it into consideration. He always had the worst protection and that is why the internet is full of jokes about him.

An independent computer and phone software testing company, AV-TEST GmbH has released results for June, with Windows Defender (now Windows Security) at the top.

Their results are divided into three categories: protection, performance, and ease of use. Grades are awarded for each category individually, ranging from 1 to 6 in increments of 0.5.

If you look at their table, with results for June, you can see that only 4 anti-viruses have a maximum score of 6/6/6: Windows Defender, F-SECURE Safe 17, Norton Security 22.17, and Kaspersky Internet Security 19.0

Their tests are very serious and rigorous, mostly "worst-case" tests. That is, the tests simulate the worst-case scenario that could befall the average computer user.

Microsoft has improved its security tool and managed to bring it to the very top where Kaspersky, Norton, and F-Secure are. All three anti-viruses pay a lot, while Windows Defender comes with Windows for free.

However, indeed, Windows Defender has not always been so good, as you can see in the history of tests. Microsoft has significantly improved it lately, and perhaps the biggest innovation is the introduction of artificial intelligence.

And now someone would ask the question "Is Windows Defender enough for us?" In short - probably not.

In addition to standard protection, third-party anti-viruses offer additional options, some of which are free and some not, such as file destruction, WiFi protection, scanning emails and links, VPN… Windows Defender does not have these additional options that mean a lot to users. If you don't need these additional options - then whatnot, Defender will be enough for you.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.

[Windows] How to create an invisible folder

By Administrator
At the time when I got my first computer, games weren't that popular, so we researched the system, and the whole computer in general (at least I did). After discovering something interesting, we try to use it to "challenge" each other.
