I actually prefer the Start Screen. I like to have a desktop free of icons, so I would normally access my programs one of three ways: 1) Start...
I currently use a layered model that I'm very satisfied with. It's probably totally redundant and overkill, but eh. I need something to do when...
Software firewalls, in my opinion, only have value in preventing malware from phoning home. Back in the Windows 98 era, remote attacks were...
Interesting list, thank you for posting it. I think that if the Fedora 17 Xfce spin included Xfce 4.10, it could have been higher on the list....
Malformed packet attacks haven't been a threat in years. Still good to protect against them I suppose.
That's really a shame. These days, with both IE and Chrome both utilizing strong sandboxing, Firefox will inevitably fall behind in a big way.
This has been on my mind lately. The Chrome sandbox is a major selling point, given the widespread nature of browser-based malware. In Chrome,...
EPM is an impressive IE10 feature. If only I could get Zones working the way I'd want, I'd be all gung ho for it. :P
Hmm, that didn't seem to work. For kicks, I decided to set the Internet Zone to Prompt for scripts, instead of just disabling them. Visiting...
I'm starting to think the first part is right, but I hope that's not the case. Otherwise this is really annoying. They're not greyed out, just...
That would be great if it worked on Windows 8. :O
Hmm, I added the subdomain (movies.netflix.com) and scripts still don't work. :( Question: I enabled EPM and now the regular Protected Mode...
I don't like to let scripts run on my computer unless I trust the site, so I've been trying to configure IE10 to block scripts in the Internet...
Interesting. They're certainly playing it up, I wonder what the catch is.
Now that I run Windows 8 x64 on my primary computers, my setup is pretty standard on all of them. My current security setup relies primarily on...
WhoisGuard and other whois privacy services are known for giving up your information at the slightest hint of trouble. I wouldn't rely on them for...
I've never had a problem with backwards compatibility except for old school games.
Thank you for posting this. Australis is horrible. I think they were trying to channel Google Chrome but it leaves me shaking my head.
I went back to Avast! Free recently. Avast performs consistently well in AV tests, the shields are useful, and I love the pre-boot scan...
I think Microsoft is poised to make some big gains in the smartphone and tablet markets over the next few years. Although they've caught a lot...
In my opinion, replace the drive. You don't want to risk data loss, especially now that hard drives are relatively cheap.
These refills can be very messy but it's cost-effective. I personally use a laser printer. It's black and white only, but I never need to print...
They took away the ability to boot into MS-DOS in Windows ME... ramming a GUI down our throats. :P Just being a bit comical but the point is,...
Certainly, any cloud service creates some reduction in privacy since your data is leaving your exclusive control. For that matter, any connection...
Interesting, thanks for the tip. I'm playing around with zones right now and it's not too bad. A little bit more inconvenient than NoScript (more...
Separate names with a comma.
