At least, a majority of users believe so but that depends on the settings – a few of them have to be manually enabled.

So, here are 3 ways to browse safely with Firefox:

#1: Use the master password option

Unlike Google Chrome, Firefox offers an option where you can encrypt all the saved passwords on its list. When you enable it, you will have to enter the master password if you want to use these saved password – once per browser session. Better still, you will have enter the Master Password again so as to view the saved passwords.

#2: Ensure that security options are enabled

Much like any other browser, Firefox has basic privacy and security features that are enabled. However, not all of them are – so you have to check for that and make sure that some of these important features aren’t disabled.

Enable options such as “Warn me when sites try to install add-ons”, “Block reported attack sites” and “Block reported web forgeries”. In the Privacy section, select “Tell websites I do not want to be tracked”. In the content tab, select “Block pop-up windows”.

#3: Use add-ons for additional protection

There are security add-ons that one can use for extra protection. Some of the most popular ones include NoScript, Adblock Plus, Web of Trust (WOT) and HTTPS Finder. Each of these serve important purposes when it comes to the security of your PC and is worth doing some research on.

In summary, browsing safely with Firefox is achievable by implementing a few key settings and utilizing its features effectively. Enabling the master password option, ensuring essential security features are turned on, and incorporating security add-ons like NoScript and Adblock Plus can significantly enhance your online safety. By taking these measures, users can enjoy a more secure and protected browsing experience with Firefox.

]]> What You Need to Know About Free Software http://globalworldtechnology.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-free-software/ Mon, 25 Jan 2021 22:10:15 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=542 Article by Pierre Zarokian

It’s a known fact that free products come with strings and which is why it is good for one to be very skeptical.

However, there are times when you can get free software with no hassle if you listen carefully to recommendations.

What this also means is that you can get your hands on some good software without breaking the law as a result.

This is for the simple reason that some companies or programmers themselves would like to have you use their software for free.

In most cases, this free version is a lighter version compared to the pro version that it offers for a sum of money. In other words, the software has lesser features and is usually for marketing purposes.

Once their product gets around, the pro version is offered and which will have the features that the free version doesn’t have.

In a number of cases, you only receive tech support with the paid version and in others, you can only use the free version for home use and nothing more. If you are a business, you have to buy the pro version.

Of course, free software comes with another hazard and that are known as potentially unwanted programs – malware that is offered through advertising. So, it’s in your best interests to always opt for the custom installation instead of the default installation. This will help you to avoid the installation of any malware that you don’t need.

Finally, there are a few options of free software that displays ads in the program, and which is no doubt, better than the other type of programs described above.

]]> 4 Components To Protect Your Windows PC http://globalworldtechnology.org/4-components-to-protect-your-windows-pc/ Wed, 07 Nov 2018 01:00:01 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=739 Article by Pierre Zarokian.

Modern day criminals know that the internet is where the money is and which is where they spend their time. Which means that us honest people have to be twice as careful.

It should be obvious that protecting your information online is far more complex than keeping your bag close or even locking your door.

Here are 4 important components of protecting your Windows PC:

1: Antivirus

Make sure whenever Windows in running, it should run an up-to-date antivirus program. This program will run in the background and block not only viruses but all types of malware too. You can find the best option by looking up AVTest.

2: Another opinion malware scanner

This is recommended because even the best antivirus program can miss an attack from time to time. So, it’s best advised to scan your PC with another program that will scan only when you tell it to. Use Malwarebytes Anti-malware.

3: Firewall

Much like an antivirus, this program will also run in the background at all times too. Yet its function is to control the traffic between the internet and your PC. Of course, Windows offers a decent firewall but you have to ensure that it has been turned on. For this, type ‘firewall’ while selecting Windows Firewall in Control Panel. Also, in the left pane, turn Windows on or off.

4: Updates

Ensure that Windows 7 or 8 stays updated. So, look for or launch Windows Update. Now, click Change settings in the left pane. If Install Windows automatically (recommended) isn’t selected, then ensure it is turned on. For Windows 10, search for windows updates while selecting Windows Updates. Now scroll down to the bottom of the window and select Advanced options. Now, make sure Automatic (recommended).

]]> Windows Data Backup Tips http://globalworldtechnology.org/windows-data-backup-tips/ Fri, 04 Aug 2017 22:53:57 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=607 Cloud-based data backup is excellent for the advantages that it offers: not only is it easy and automatic but it also cannot be destroyed by either natural or manmade disasters.

That said, backing up your data might be good but this isn’t that effective if you want to backup Windows. This is for the simple reason that backing up your data involves copying the files that you wish to save but when it comes to saving Windows safely involves cloning or creating an image of your drive.

For that matter, system backup is not as important as data backup for the simple reason that you can always reinstall Windows and the applications that you use. Of course, this cannot be done with photos, documents and spreadsheets.

This is why you should backup your data daily while doing an image backup at least two or three times a year.

As for the disasters that can make you glad that you have data backup, the first of the lot is accidents where you can lose files. Whether you emptied the Recycle Bin before realizing that you deleted the wrong file or folder or you overwrote a project that is important, having local or online backup can save you the hassle that comes with such incidents.

There are other situations where Windows crashes and the only way you can use your system is by reinstalling the operating system. Of course, it goes without saying that you will lose all the data as a result. This is where a Windows image or backup can really help you. Once you restored your operating system, you can use the data backup to restore your files.

Finally, in the case of a flood or fire, an online backup will be better than a local one. Of course, the image backup won’t matter but at the very least, you’ll still have all your important data. You can always install your favorite applications when you pick up a new PC.

]]> How to open Google Drive files in Office directly http://globalworldtechnology.org/how-to-open-google-drive-files-in-office-directly/ Sat, 07 Jan 2017 10:21:09 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=721 When Office 2013 was rolled out by Microsoft, there was a promise made that it would be deeply integrated with the cloud.

Of course, this only applied to Microsoft services such as OneDrive but not for Google Drive or even Dropbox.

So, Google, in seeking to fix this problem, released its plugin that works with literally every version of Office and as far back as 2007. This includes the upcoming Office 2016 too.

With this plugin, you can open Google Drive in Office just as you would OneDrive.

Here’s how the plugin works with Office 2013:

Download and install Google Drive for Office as you would any other program.

Now open any Office program (like Word). It will prompt you to sign into your Google account. Once you do this, Google Drive will appear in the ‘Open’ dashboard for Office 2013 programs.

If you want to open a document, then just click the storage service’s icon. A pop-up window will open up and you can be editing the document immediately as soon as you hit ‘Select’.

This is only if it is in Office file format, of course.

One decent tweak that you can try using is clicking on Google Drive> Settings and selecting ‘Microsoft Office files only’. Click ‘Close’.

The reason for this is it makes no sense to see files in the Google Drive format as you cannot open with Office anyways.

The plugin also adds basic features in the Office Ribbon namely save to and open a Drive document, share, rename, move among others.

As for Dropbox, they’re yet to release a similar plugin just as Google has. There is a third-party script that solve this. Look for a tutorial by How To Geek for this.

]]> The Importance of Installing Windows Updates http://globalworldtechnology.org/the-importance-of-installing-windows-updates/ Wed, 07 Dec 2016 06:38:17 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=743 Are you one of the many people who ignore the popup about available windows updates? You should not. Windows updates are issued every Tuesday by Microsoft and are available to download shortly afterward. Urgent updates are pushed as soon as they are available. These patches, and the urgent ones even more so are important for several reasons, here are some of them:

autsch1Security

A lot of windows updates are focused around system security. They fix vulnerabilities discovered in windows that hackers or malware can exploit. These fixes are not limited to windows itself, but to the components and software that comes bundled with it, like Internet Explorer. There are also updates pushed to the certificates that authenticate sites on the internet, these too come through windows updates.

Performance

There are also updates that will improve the performance of your computer. In some cases these fix issues that cause slowdowns. Keeping up to date means getting the most out of your system in terms of performance.

Additional Features

In addition, new features and upgrades to existing software by Microsoft will also be pushed through Windows update. Take Microsoft Office for example. Other than regular security and stability updates, new features are pushed through windows updates. A good example is Skype for Business ,which was included in Office as Lync. It has seen some major feature additions through these updates.

Keep your computer and the information on it safe by keeping windows up to date. It may take a bit of your time and a couple of restarts, but the benefits are worth it.

]]> How to Speed Up Your Windows PC Boot Time http://globalworldtechnology.org/how-to-speed-up-your-windows-pc-boot-time/ Sun, 07 Aug 2016 04:16:06 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=551 One of the biggest problems with Windows has always been how long it takes to start it up in older PCs.

In a few cases, this might occur due to a hardware problem such as a faulty hard disk but in most cases, it is all those pesky programs trying to start when booting up.

This, in turn, occurs because of the installation of a number of apps on your system that want to be included in your PC’s startup routine.

Of course, some of them are important such as the PC’s antivirus. However, there are others such as Google Hangouts or Google Now alerts that don’t need to start until much later.

Of course, getting rid of these programs was difficult before Windows 8.1, thanks to a simple addition that has been made recently.

For this, all you have to do is hit Ctrl+Alt+Del on your system. Select Task Manager with your mouse. When you’re back on desktop, with the Task Manager open, look for the Startup tab.

Click on the tab and you will see programs that are most likely to turn on when you start your computer. Now look for the Startup Impact column within this tab, and if the program is statused ‘High’, then you will want to disable it so as to speed up your computer at startup.

Before you go about disabling programs from startup, remember that you will have to do manually run it once you have started your system.

One last thing: be careful not to disable a program from the PC manufacturer or the component maker or even critical programs such as the anti-virus.

]]> Google paid Apple $1 Billion for its search bar http://globalworldtechnology.org/google-paid-apple-1-billion-for-its-search-bar/ Thu, 07 Jan 2016 00:40:28 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=746 Apple received approximately a billion dollars from its rival in 2014 to maintain the search bar on the iPhone.The Oracle attorney who disclosed details of the Google-Apple agreement at last week’s court hearing, said a Google employee questioned during pretrial information said that “at one point in time the revenue share was 34 percent.”

It is unclear if the percentage is the Apple or Google’s cut of the earnings. The assumption is that the 34 percent is in fact Apples.

Google attorney objected to the disclosure:

“That percentage just stated, that should be sealed,” lawyer Robert Van Nest said, according to the transcript. “We are talking hypotheticals here. That’s not a publicly known number.”

The judge presiding over the hearing refused both Apple and Google’s requests to suppress the sensitive information in the court transcripts.

“The specific financial terms of Google’s agreement with Apple are highly sensitive to both Google and Apple,” Google said in its Jan. 20 filing. “Both Apple and Google have always treated this information as extremely confidential.”

While there was no surprise at the both the fact that google pays Apple. The fact that it was a percentage was. It would be more likely that the employee in question was misquoted and that the billion dollars is infact a flat fee. A percentage is unlikely given that there is no possibility of Apple verifying any number Google presents.

]]> How to Add Tabs to File Explorer in Windows http://globalworldtechnology.org/how-to-add-tabs-to-file-explorer-in-windows/ Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:23:45 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=730 Even if adding tabs to Windows Explorer has been one of the most popular features that have been requested for, Microsoft still hasn’t delivered.

But you don’t have to wait for them to deliver – you can use the Clover 3 extension which works on all versions of Windows. Yes, even Windows 10 too.

Why tabs, you might ask?

If you need to open another File Explorer window, you don’t have to open a new window altogether. Best part: If you do want a second window, then all you have to do is open a tab and separate the two until you have two separate windows.

autschBut there’s a downsides to using Clover on Windows 10, at least. For starters, Clover 3 will change the File Explorer’s menus. Both the Home and Share options will disappear while the Computer menu option will be added from Windows 8.

Not surprisingly, when you do open File Explorer, you will find a Clover icon instead of a File Explorer icon in the taskbar.

Apart from this, Clover will automatically open a new window which will display the “This PC” view instead of Quick Access which is how it is in Windows 10. No need to panic – Quick Access is still there, of course.

So, if you’re fine with these issues, then Clover 3 can be a great option to get tabs in File Explorer. In order to download it, visit Ejie.me. You will have to extract the ZIP folder and run the .exe file as you would any other any other program made for Windows.

After this, open File Explorer and you should find the ability to use tabs.

]]> How to Use Dropbox’s New Bookmarks Feature http://globalworldtechnology.org/how-to-use-dropboxs-new-bookmarks-feature/ Fri, 07 Aug 2015 07:10:56 +0000 http://www.autsch.tv/?p=715 Accessing your bookmarks can be a serious problem especially if you switch between Chrome, Safari and even Internet Explorer. Of course, there are alternatives such as Delicious and Evernote but now there’s a new one.

Yes, you can drag-and-drop bookmarks into the DropBox web app. Or even drop them into File Explorer on your desktop.

Here’s how you use DropBox to create a wealth of bookmarks that you can use in the future. Of course, you can drop URLs anywhere in your Dropbox account but let’s focus on adding them into one folder.

autschFirst, you create a folder in Dropbox called Bookmarks or whatever name you would like. Next, you find the bookmark that you want to drop into the folder created. In order to collect the URL, you’ll have to find an icon to the left of your Chrome or Firefox browser.

In Chrome it is a piece of paper with a folded corner. In Firefox, you will see a globe. Of course, if you’re on a HTTPS connection, then you will see a green lock icon.

Also, it must be pointed out that Microsoft Edge – the new browser for Windows 10 – or even Internet Explorer does not support this Dropbox feature of dragging and dropping links. This could change for Edge in the weeks to come as Microsoft continues to roll out changes.

Once you click that link, then you can drag it into the Dropbox.com browser tab and then drop the link into the Bookmarks folder.

Of course, until now, Dropbox hasn’t released a tool that can help you to export bookmarks from a particular browser but this should work just as well.
