In the era of Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer remains a security threat

As much as Microsoft recommends using Windows 10 and its Edge browser to get better anti-malware protection, its old flagship browser, Internet Explorer, continues to be exploited actively to infect users .

A new vulnerability in Internet Explorer is being exploited by a group of hackers to infect Windows computers. They do this through malicious Office files , which once opened by the user launch a web page that delivers the malware from a remote server.

Why Linux triumphs in everything but the desktop

Linux is the absolute leader in supercomputing , it is much more used than Windows in servers, and in 2017 Android became the most used operating system , surpassing Windows for the first time in history. That triumph of Android is also a triumph of Linux .

But on the desk, on the desk, the story is a very different one, one that Linus Torvlads himself considers his personal failure . The creator of Linux started Linux as a desktop operating system and that is precisely the only area in which Linux does not dominate.

If you have a Chromecast in your hands and want to configure it, you have reached the right place. This small device work and grace of Google has become a must for many. The first day we plugged it behind the TV and it seems that we forgot about it, but every time we use it we know why we like it so much . The convenience of launching any video on TV is what you have.

How to delete your Twitter account completely and forever

For many reasons we can decide to delete our Twitter profile . Do not deactivate it or abandon it, but delete the account forever and completely. If we know that we do not want to use the service, it is the best way because, in this way, our data and information are no longer on their servers.

The question now is: can it be eliminated? It can, yes, of course. But as in the case of the deletion of a Facebook account, the process has some singularities . In this case the step by step is simpler and more agile, it is not at all complicated. But it is another: it can not be eliminated from one day to the next. Before it is deleted, we must spend 30 days with the account deactivated.
