What's New

Bitdefender Total Security 2016 is Bitdefender's flagship security program for the Windows operating system. The 2016 version is the latest version currently, but we will update the review when the company releases updates.

Bitdefender maintains a wide range of products for Windows and other operating systems. Total Security 2016 offers all features of the company's Antivirus Plus and Internet Security products which are both available as commercial versions as well.

The "Try the download again Something happened on our end" error may be thrown when you try to download an application from Windows Store on a device running Windows 10.

The error message seems to be thrown only for some Store downloads, especially Xbox Live games such as Killer Instinct or Gears of War Ultimate, and not for all apps or games.

Auto Clicker is a free portable program for the Windows operating system that provides you with the means to beat idle games by simulating left mouse clicks.

I'm not sure why Idle games are that popular to be honest, but it is one of the most popular Flash and HTML5 game categories out there right now.

GreenBits is a Bitcoin Wallet application for the Android operating system that provides you with your own Bitcoin address, and sending and receiving functionality.

More and more online shops and services accept bitcoin payments, and while Bitcoin is still far away from being accepted by the mainstream, it is already widely used on the Internet.

One thing that may be keeping users away from Bitcoin is that it seems highly technical and difficult to set up.

WinAntiRansom is a commercial program for the Windows operating system that is been designed to protect PCs against ransomware attacks.

Ransomware comes in two main flavors: programs that lock the PC down, and programs that encrypt files. Both have in common that they ask you to pay a ransom, usually in form of Bitcoin, to regain access to the PC or the files (with no guarantee whatsoever that you will get an unlock code after making the payment).

Windows 10 Anniversary Update is the official name of a big update for Microsoft's newest operating system that the company will make available in Summer 2016.

Formerly known as Redstone, it is a massive update that will introduce new features and changes to the operating system.

The Anniversary Update is a free update for all devices running Windows 10 according to Microsoft. This includes non-PC devices such as the company's Xbox One console.

Microsoft's Build 2016 Developer Conference started earlier today with a keynote in which Microsoft revealed new information about Windows 10 and new features that would come to the operating system.

While you may have read about one or the other feature already on sites that pushed out news blurbs as soon as Microsoft employees revealed them on stage.

Anyway, this article is for those who want a single article that reveals all the important information and tidbits that Microsoft revealed during the keynote.

AutoStarter x4 is a free program for the Windows operating system that enables you to batch start files, sites and other resources effortlessly without scripting or programming skills.

Sometimes, you may want to run multiple programs or files at once or in rapid succession on your system.

Maybe a set number of programs that you need to work with images, edit videos, program, or start your blogging day. Or other resources, maybe a music playlist, and your favorite websites in your browser of choice.

There are two types of Anti-Ransomware software: those that protect the system in real-time against incoming threats, and those that disinfect the system after a successful ransomware attack.

The following overview of anti-ransomware programs looks at programs that have been designed specifically for the purpose.

HostedNetworkStarter enables you to turn your Windows PC into a WiFi hotspot so that other devices can use the computer's Internet connection.

The portable program uses the wireless hosted network feature of the Windows operating system which Microsoft introduced in Windows 7.

The feature allows Windows users to create virtual wireless adapters -- Virtual Wi-Fi --, and software-based wireless access points.

Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware is a new product by security company Bitdefender to protect Windows PCs against several ransomware families.

Ransomware describes a specific type of malicious software that has been designed to force users to pay ransom -- usually in the form of Bitcoin -- by encrypting data or locking the screen, and threatening users into action.

There are ways users can protect their data against ransomware attacks. This begins with the right security software but does not end there. Regular, offsite backups, can be important as well.

Kolor Eyes is a free video player for Windows, Mac, and mobile operating systems that you can use to watch Virtual Reality (VR) content on 2D screens.

I'm interested in Virtual Reality, and 2016 seems to be the year the technology will come to the masses.

While I'm interested in it, I have decided long ago not to buy first generation hardware of new technologies anymore, and VR falls into that category.

System add-ons are a relatively new feature of the Firefox web browser. The main idea behind the feature is to separate these add-ons and the functionality they provide from Firefox's core.

The benefit of doing so is that updates can be delivered to these add-ons without pushing out an update for the Firefox web browser itself. They are updated like any other add-on on the system (which is also independent from core Firefox updates).

They work in most regards like any other add-on installed by the user, but cannot be controlled by the user currently.

I recently wrote an article on Ghacks titled “Is Samsung Giving up on the S-Pen?”, which argued that Samsung is shying away from releasing many new devices that feature the famous “S-Pen” stylus associated with it’s “Galaxy Note” brand.

Textify is a free portable program for the Windows operating system that enables you to copy text from dialogs and windows that cannot be copied usually.

Basic examples are dialogs, text displayed in program windows that cannot be copied, or certain error messages that programs may throw.

While you may be able to use Ctrl-C anyway to copy text, it is sometimes not possible to do so without OCR software or other means.

Textify has been designed to provide a solution for these situations.
