If you want to check whether your Webroot defences are working properly, AMTSO has a series of tests you can perform. These are relatively simple, which will check to see whether your browser, operating system and other software are configured to block malicious and drive-by downloads, and phishing attacks. I ran the tests on my systems, and Webroot scored 5/5 on every computer. [url=http://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check.html]http://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check.html[/url]

I have been having trouble with the Webroot Forum loading on my XP computer using IE-8. This has been happening for awhile and it seems the more posts in a thread the longer it takes to load. This happens on [b]both[/b] XP machines. I have done all I could, clean cookies / IE / defrag etc. and it's still doing it. I have no problems with FF on the forum. This only happens on the Webroot Forum. Other forums load normal with IE-8.
By Zoe Kleinman Technology reporter, BBC News "Microsoft has faced criticism for changing the pop-up box encouraging Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10. Clicking the red cross on the right hand corner of the pop-up box now activates the upgrade instead of closing the box. And this has caused confusion as typically clicking a red cross closes a pop-up notification" [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36367221]Microsoft accused of Windows 10 upgrade 'nasty trick' - BBC News[/url] Couldn't see this story posted (in another thread)?

In a tweet by Gabriel Aul, the chief of Windows Insider Program, he said that Control Panel will be removed from Windows 10 in coming days.

I didn't know where this would be appropriate, but a mod can move this post, if they like... But, this is mystery to me, that when logged in you can check how long you have been logged, it can show the number of minutes one is idle. But, for me I can never achieve this feat. ;) How does one get to show up as being idle? I have a screenshot showing what I mean, but as per usual I can't get it to show, here.
World Backup Day is March 31stWe love using this time to reflect on our habits around data - both personal and professional. There is a very common belief out there that can be summed up as “My data is safe - I don’t think I need to worry much about backing it up.” This belief is held by the tech-illiterate as well as self-described tech “pros” across the world. And even if they don’t have this belief, per se, there is a trend of people putting data backup at the end of their to-do list. Getting an antivirus solution, a VPN, or shiny new hardware tends to feel more important to most people in regards to their technical “must acquire” list. If there’s one idea I want you to start believing today, it is the following: Incorporating an automated Data Backup plan is one of the most important actions you can take to save yourself time, energy, and frustration. World Backup Day serves as a useful reminder for all of the things that can go wrong with your data:A hard drive can reach the end o
Can Anyone Recommend A Good Windows PC Disk Defrag Program? My Windows Disk Defrag program is not getting the job done.
Today is World Password Day and we wanted to take that opportunity to have a discussion with our community about “Password Integrity”. With every passing year, it seems like we need five more accounts for our business and personal lives. That means five new passwords and five new opportunities for someone to access your information or steal your identity. On top of all that, how many of you can honestly say you use a unique password for every one of your ever-growing list of online logins?The truth is, it has become nearly impossible to create and remember long, secure passwords for all of our online accounts. The solution that most people have begun to adopt is the use of a password manager such as LastPass which is included in SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus and Complete. Using a password manager solves a number of problems such as:Generating randomized, secure passwords Locks your huge list of account passwords behind a singular “master password” or biometric password such as

January 24-28th is Data Privacy Week! Given the ever evolving state of data privacy, this is a great opportunity to discuss how we can protect ourselves against data breaches and identity theft. Originally, this tradition started as a day observed on January 28th as a result of a European Council meeting on the subject in 1981. This was “an educational initiative focused on raising awareness among businesses as well as users about the importance of protecting the privacy of their personal information online, particularly in the context of social networking.” (Wikipedia)Clearly the people who started this initiative made an extremely accurate prediction: The breadth and usage of the internet would expand rapidly and data privacy laws would fail to keep up with the times. While there have certainly been some recent advancements in data privacy laws such as GDPR it remains true that we have a long way to go before we, as a society, can consider our personal data adequately legally protect
Microsoft has been pushing very hard (and sometimes very aggressive) for users to move to Windows 10 and 2016 was quite a controversial year in this regard, with many people saying that the company went a little too far in its attempt of boosting adoption of its latest operating system. And while Microsoft itself also admitted that it was wrong to become so pushy on Windows 10 upgrades, statistics show that despite all of these, it’s still Windows 7 the desktop operating system that was number one last year.

Another sign that a new version of Windows is on the way!Jun 14, 2021, 9:06am EDT Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 on October 14th, 2025. It will mark just over 10 years since the operating system was first introduced. Microsoft revealed the retirement date for Windows 10 in an updated support life cycle page for the OS. Thurrott reports that this is the first time Microsoft has ever described the end of support for Windows 10.It’s not clear exactly when the support document was updated, but Thurrott reports it only previous documented “when specific Windows 10 versions would leave support,” and not the entire OS. It could be another hint that a new version of Windows is on the way.Microsoft keeps dropping Windows 11 hintsMicrosoft has been dropping lots of hints that it’s ready to launch Windows 11. The software maker is holding a special Windows event to reveal the “next generation” of the OS next week. The event starts at 11AM ET, and the event invite includes a window tha

It's quite easy to think that hackers and nefarious actors out there are only after adults. However, kids are just as likely to be targeted.
