When the Internet was still young, viruses weren’t as common as they were today. To be fair, computers weren’t all that sophisticated, and there weren’t nearly as many attack-vectors for hackers to try to crack. These days, however, our computers, laptops, and mobile devices run millions (if not billions) of lines of code. Bottom Line […]

As the story goes, Linux was invented in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, which spawned a veritable computer revolution. Instead of having to rely on the most popular software manufacturers at the time, namely Apple and Microsoft, users could take advantage of free and open source software. At that time, the GNU lice sense was still […]

VyprVPN, which offers quality VPN connections, is different from other VPN providers in many ways. They have some unique features that bolster security more than their competition, and they have an interesting pricing model. Whether you are simply looking for a way to keep governmental agencies and hackers from snooping around your personal data or […]

PureVPN has been a staunch competitor and leader in the VPN industry for a while now. As a company, they are ten years old and were originally founded in 2006. Users should understand that they are based in the United States, and therefore may be required to comply with the law and government agencies such […]

Bitdefender and Avast are two well-known and trusted giants in the antivirus industry, but which one is better? That question is similar to asking, “How long is a piece of string?” It may be that one provider will suit your needs better than the other, but how do you know which to select unless you’ve […]

“Do I even need antivirus security for my Mac?” If you’re thinking that antivirus software is unnecessary on Mac systems, you’re not alone. Most people erroneously think that simply because they’re using OS X that they’re impervious to viruses, malware, Trojans, and other similar types of malicious code. In the not so distant past, this […]

Viruses, malware, and Trojans…oh my! Look, I like using Bit Torrent apps to download free (and legal) content as much as the next guy, but it cannot be denied that some clients are inherently dangerous to use. uTorrent is certainly no exception, and despite its plethora of fantastic features, there are a lot of dangerous […]

iDrive is a United States firm based out of California, and they’ve been in business since 2007 as a child of Pro Softnet Corporation. They’ve really existed since the beginning of the movement to the cloud, and have competed with other brand name services like Dropbox and Carbonite. They are clearly one of the leaders […]

Sports are incredibly fun and exciting…as long as you can see the game live. That’s one reason why traditional broadcast networks and cable channels have survived in spite of streaming digital video – they reserve the rights to show the game live to prevent people from pulling the content through their web browsers. Conversely, some […]

Hide.me is a little strange when you compare them to other VPN providers, namely because of where they are located. The vast majority of VPN providers have headquarters in either Europe or North America. And because the American government (that is, the NSA) has been caught in wiretapping scandals, some people want to use an […]
