Data breaches on PCs can cost several thousands of dollars as well, due to file ransoms, ID theft and so on. That is why you need to have a proper protection layer against malware.

  1. AVG Internet Security

You are probably looking for something that provides great security but that also comes with a great interface. Unfortunately, the latest internet security bundle from AVG lacks a little bit in the usability department but it more than makes up for it with the incredible way of handling security.

Norton has been the biggest title of top malware protection since 1990. The reasons of its survival and dominion are pretty simple. Norton comes out regularly with robust protection solutions that are lightweight enough so that you can easily incorporate them into your digital life.

  1. Panda Dome Premium

SHAREit and Xender – Best Apps for Transferring your Files on your PC

Nowadays our lives have a lot of devices. Not too long ago, we only had our PCs but tablets, smartphones and laptops emerged. Our lives are indeed made easier with their help and things like file transferring and sharing became a thing of routine. That is why there are apps like SHAREit and Xender which look to be used by you.

Before you install any app, you should look to see if it is compatible with your device. Doing this will save you time and find a more compatible app sooner. Both of these apps work if your devices are capable of working with Wi-Fi and these days, it represents little concern.

Xender and SHAREit are file transfer and sharing apps. Despite the fact that they resemble each other in what they do, they come with different functions and features. You can transfer files from PC to PC, from phone to phone or between PCs and phones. Xender doesn’t support transferring files between PCs.

They both claim to work fast and that is why they are preferred over Bluetooth. The true test, however, would depend on many factors which might make them to fall short on their claims despite the fact that they are good with file transfers.

Both of them support a range of file formats but Xender wins this one as it can support more, including DOC, APK and EPUB. SHAREit and Xender as well are capable of supporting multiple device sharing or sharing multiple file types. Xender, however, can only send multiple files one at the time, while SHAREit can send a whole folder.

Another difference is that SHAREit needs to be installed across devices, your phone and PC, while Xender is a mobile-only app with an interface for your PC. It may seem that SHAREit wins the duel but you can save some time with the installation process with Xender.

What are the Most Revolutionary Trends in the Video Game Industry in 2018?

Gamers are in for some exciting new trends in 2018. Fortnite started a trickle-down effect and Pokemon GO! is still popular, in other words, gamers have a lot to expect. Best of all, companies seem to have finally began to answer the cries of furies, gratitude and impatience of customers. Without further ado, here is some good news:

  1. First, let’s talk about Esports. Watching college football will become a thing of the past, instead more and more people will watch League of Legends and so on. The Esports industry observed a huge growth that is still expected to continue, by 38% from 2017 to 2018 alone.
  2. The immense popularity of Fortnite might have really opened the doors for more battle royale games. What is not to like? You have to battle hundreds of player while the battleground shrinks.
  3. Pay-to-wins will begin to succumb since there’s nothing more infuriating for a gamer with talent than to lose to another one who just paid for better chances. Because of a lot of complaints, it seems that developers began to shy away from this trend.
  4. Minecraft is still going strong. From 2017, more than 20 million new players joined the game, reaching 75 million, more than the population of Italy, France or the UK.
  5. Companies seem to abandon the idea of updating their consoles on seven-year cycles. Because of the continuous advancements in software and technology, they would start producing models more often and with incremental changes as well.
  6. Augmented reality will become… reality. After the success of Pokemon GO, there are a lot of companies that jumped in on the hype, augmented reality being more accessible than VR.
  7. A lot of people are on the move and they would like to play as they travel. Naturally, carrying your console or PC around isn’t likely to happen and that is exactly why more companies will invest in mobile-cross platforms.

How Can You Grow Your Business using WhatsApp?

There is a marketing tool for a business that is becoming more and more powerful. That new tool is an instant messaging app, WhatsApp.

Using the Jewish Content Network, you could place sponsored posts on famous WhatsApp groups. This has been up for quite a while now.

However, WhatsApp decided recently to launch a separate business API as well. The API allows companies to have their own broadcast channels where individual subscribers receive dedicated messages. Before this came into the plan, you could do that only for about 250 members in a group. Now the new platforms offer you de advantage to have as many subscribers as you want who will receive messages from you beginning with the first message you receive from them.

That being said, WhatsApp has also been working on a widget which got released earlier and enables users to send you a quick pre-written message using the app. The advantage is that it does not matter whether you have them saved as a contact or not.

There is a wide range of possibilities that this app offers you. WhatsApp is more convenient for many users that are not used to clicking a link to bring up a dialer or send an email. With this app, they can simply tap on a button that will help them initiate the WhatsApp conversation without giving them too much of a headache.

If you have what you want in link form, then it all starts from there. You can quickly broadcast it in several ways. You can do that in a WhatsApp message which asks people to promote or forward for you, using the contact area of your site, using Instatories and even email blasts.

WhatsApp is no longer just an instant messaging app. Take advantage of it!
