Hi folks, Happy to be back to Windows after year of struggle on "the best" macOS. Then, the question is it's time to refresh my AV positioning. I used mainly Bitdefender and Avira in the last 10 years. I need something to cover my back on my Zephyrus G16 and as I see Bitdefender is not a bulletproof choice anymore. I am advanced user, not afraid of anything. Currently, the choice is between: Bitdefender Total Emsisoft Trend Micro ZoneAlarm Extreme ESET Norton 360 or again even...
Thread 'CyberLock: How to exclude Bitwarden's Browser Extension "desktop_proxy.exe" from VoodooAI prompts in Brave?'
Hi everyone, Hi (@danb) I'm experiencing persistent VoodooAI "Allow/Deny" prompts for desktop_proxy.exe every time I launch Brave Browser.

Thread 'Food for thought: For tracking protection Peter Low's list is more than enough, here is why ....'
Have a look at this statistics below, it makes no sense to add a anti-trackers list of say more than 3500 entries of Peter Low's blocklist.. Reasons are 1. With those 3500 entries, you probably have the TOP 1000 covered wherever you live. 2. This means that ones you don't block only have a very limited outreach (chances you are tracked over multiple websites by local trackers is low) 3. In my case (living in the Netherlands), only one company would have tracked me on 3 websites (I usually...
Windows 11 has officially surpassed 1 billion monthly active users, achieving this milestone faster than Windows 10 did. Microsoft announced the news during its FY26 Q2 earnings call, highlighting a 45% year-over-year growth in adoption.
I need to change the "Device Setup Region" in Windows 11, but I read that I have to do a clean installation. Is this true, or is there a way to change it without reinstalling? There is some discussion about using Microsoft's System Preparation Tool (sysprep) to change it. Is this a safe process, or will it reset my customizations on the taskbar, etc.? %WINDIR%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe Thank you.
Thread 'If any users of Deep Freeze, question.'
Question for those of you who use Faronics Deep Freeze Standard on a single home computer, NOT in a business situation. Whenever you do a backup of your entire Crive or a Differential backup using your favorite mirror imaging program, Macrium, Hasleo, Terabyte, Drive Image, whatever, do you Set the Clone Flag or do you just ignore it? Thanks much. Acadia

Source: Big Brother AI QUESTIONS Are there circumstances where Apple would have no choice but to assist any law enforcement or national security executive agency to decrypt a user device or data?

Application Control turned offI've noticed that many users have Application Control turned off in their security settings. Why? Is it supposed to be a security enhancement? Thanks
