I am sick of third-party anti-virus programs that harass me about paying for upgrades and additional software. Done with that. But I can’t leave my Windows 10 PC unprotected. What’s your recommendation? Windows Defender??
You’re on a Mac system so you don’t have to worry about malware, viruses or being scammed, right? That’s just a PC problem, right? Wrong. Turns out that while the threat isn’t as big, it’s definitely there. That’s why I give Webroot SecureAnywhere for Mac a whirl, with some surprising results…
My students bring in their schoolwork on USB flash drives at our computer camp and I want to set up the WIndows 8.1 systems in the lab to scan the drives once plugged in. How can I set that up?
I downloaded a program onto my iMac and when I try to run it, I get an error that it “can’t be opened because it is from an unknown / unidentified developer”. How do I fix this problem so I can run the app?
I got a really weird email from a friend on Facebook: it was just a Web site URL and when I went to it, I got a warning message that it was an “unsafe” and that it’d been blocked. What the heck? What’s going on?
I’ve been getting plugged into the world of Firefox, and man, it rocks. I really like it, and I especially like that there’s a huge library of different extensions that can make Firefox just about jump through flaming hoops. As I keep adding more and more, however, I’m starting to worry about whether it’s possible that some of these extensions are actually spyware or viruses. Is that even possible? And if so, how do I avoid being suckered?
I’ve become increasingly paranoid in the last few years and have long since lost any sense of innocence or even optimism regarding email. I trust noone and am leery of using any Web-based email service, but I have been exploring Google’s Gmail service. My question to you: if someone emails me a virus will Gmail even recognize it, or do I just see it as a regular attachment? Also, how does Gmail filter spam out, if at all?
