  Is it time to consider Emsisoft Anti-Malware 2018?

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 9:16pm CET par Chris Wiles

  There’s so much negative press about 'mature' security software from the likes of Kaspersky, maybe it’s time to consider an alternative? And it’s not limited to Kaspersky. Brands such as Norton have been questioned recently by allowing Russian authorities to examine source code for potential backdoors. In our experience, people avoid change and often only seek an alternative when their system (somewhat ironically) is compromised. Little do people know that they are actually fewer daily threats than they realize, unless you spend the day downloading dodgy software or looking at rogue websites, your everyday computing experience will be trouble-free.

  Google brings YouTube TV to Roku and Apple TV

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 9:08pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  The world is currently undergoing a cord cutting revolution. Thanks to the internet, many consumers are being empowered to dump their cable provider and switch to a streaming option. This is sort of ironic, as quite often, the internet being used to stream is provided by the TV provider that is being dumped. Ultimately, the cable company becomes nothing more than an ISP. You know what? Maybe that is how it should be. Cordcutters have many internet-based TV providers from which to choose these days, but one of the most attractive is offered by Google. The search giant’s YouTube TV… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft releases Skype as a Snap for Linux

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 4:59pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  While Microsoft has long been viewed as an enemy of the Linux community -- and it still is by some -- the company has actually transformed into an open source champion. Not only does Microsoft release software for Linux, such as PowerShell Core 6.0, but it is even serving distros in its software store for Windows. Let's not forget that Microsoft even offers Linux virtual machines in Azure. One of Microsoft's biggest Linux contributions, however, is Skype -- the wildly popular communication software. By offering that program to desktop Linux users, Microsoft enables them to easily communicate with friends and family that… [Continue Reading]

  Cyber criminals in 'gold rush' to exploit cryptocurrencies

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 3:48pm CET par Ian Barker

  A new report from risk management and threat intelligence company Digital Shadows shows that cyber criminals are looking to exploit the boom in interest and adoption of cryptocurrencies. The study highlights the most common methods used by these criminal actors, which include crypto jacking, account takeovers, mining fraud and scams against initial coin offerings (ICOs). "Cyber criminals follow the money and right now they see in the unregulated and largely unsecure world of digital currencies a huge opportunity to target people, businesses and exchanges and make money quickly and easily," says Rick Holland, VP strategy at Digital Shadows. "In many… [Continue Reading]

  Bitcoin dips below $10,000 -- it's a bloodbath

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 1:12pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  After peaking at just over $20,000, Bitcoin entered a massive correction last year which took it dangerously close to the $10,000 mark. The most-valuable cryptocurrency looked like it could recover for a while, but today it is still far, far away from the record price of last year. The correction is moving Bitcoin back into sub-$10,000 territory today, and it is taking the market down along with it. Some of the majors are still holding well, but the top 100 is in the red almost in its entirety. Ethereum is one of the strongest coins in this part of the… [Continue Reading]

The game will be called Mario Kart Tour, and it is currently scheduled for release by the first quarter of 2019. This is the first Mario Kart title to make its way to smartphones, and a title that will be eagerly awaited by fans of the Italian ex-plumber. At the moment, Nintendo is giving away very little about the future game. For now, all we know is the (current) title -- Mario Kart Tour -- and the company's plan to release it… [Continue Reading]

  NetMarketShare: Windows 10 still some way behind Windows 7

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 11:59am CET par Wayne Williams

  If you believe StatCounter’s numbers, Windows 10 finally overtook Windows 7 in January. However, if you tend to trust NetMarketShare’s monthly desktop operating system figures more, well, then it didn’t. According to the analyst firm’s numbers, in January Windows 10 narrowed the gap by a fair margin, but Windows 7 is still some way in the lead. SEE ALSO: StatCounter: Windows 10 finally overtakes Windows 7 In December, Windows 10 had 32.93 percent share, and this increased to 34.29 percent last month, a rise of 1.36 percentage points.

  eBay to drop PayPal as its primary payment processor

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 11:36am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  eBay and PayPal have become almost inextricably entwined over the years -- but not completely inextricably. Citing lower costs, eBay has announced plans to drop PayPal as its main payment processor in favor of Dutch firm Adyen. Starting later this year, eBay will move some of its payments to the new provider, and then by 2020, PayPal will have been replaced as the backend payment service. eBay users will still have the option to use PayPal until at least the middle of 2023. Following eBay's announcement, PayPal stock dropped by 12 percent. After a 15-year relationship, eBay currently accounts for… [Continue Reading]

  Security is top priority in choosing cloud solutions

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 11:31am CET par Ian Barker

  Security is the main priority when selecting cloud solutions according to a new report which shows businesses are increasingly adapting their security to suit the cloud. The study for cloud security automation company Lacework carried out by analysts Hurwitz & Associates shows that 'safe and secure' tops the list of desirable cloud characteristics, cited by 53 percent of respondents. In addition 85 percent of respondents recognize that cloud security is different from traditional data center security. Only 35 percent of respondents feel that security limits their ability to maximize the benefits of DevOps and operations automation. 78 percent believe that they… [Continue Reading]

  StatCounter: Windows 10 finally overtakes Windows 7

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 11:09am CET par Wayne Williams

  Every month, StatCounter reports on the state of the desktop operating system market. Since October last year, the analyst company’s figures have shown the gap between Windows 10 and Windows 7 narrowing. It looked as if the newer OS would overtake the older one in November, but that didn’t happen, and it didn’t happen in December either. However, in January, according to StatCounter, Windows 10 finally claimed the top spot. SEE ALSO: NetMarketShare: Windows 10 still some behind Windows 7 Fall Creators Update on nearly 75 percent of all Windows 10 PCs The latest figures show Windows 10 on 42.78… [Continue Reading]

  Windows Defender to root out dodgy registry cleaners and system optimization tools

  Publié: février 1, 2018, 10:58am CET par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Microsoft is taking a firmer line with misleading system utilities and tools that try to scare users into paying for software. An update to Windows Defender means that software found to be "coercive" could be ripe for automatic removal. New policies come into play in March as Microsoft tries to banish software that makes misleading claims or adversely affects system performance. Tools that exaggerate problems or resort to scare tactics are among those in the firing line. Microsoft explains that it is updating its software evaluation criteria so that programs may not "ruse alarming or coercive messaging that can put… [Continue Reading]
