Aug 3, 2015 - Whether you're setting up a new Mac or installing a new version of OS X. Since there has to be at least one user with administrative privileges on your Mac, that first. Haven't stopped OS X's default browser from doing the same trick. How to Spot Fake Product Reviews Was the Big Hack Really Big? WIMorrison wrote: Very questionable and potentially biased reporting. It says Edge was hacked 5 times but it doesn't say how many attempts were made whereas it says one attempt was made against chrome and that attack failed, thus implying and then stating that it is more secure. For this have any value they need to compare apples with apples and provide the number of attempts against Edge, Here's the full report if you're really interested in finding out how poorly Windows 10 and edge did in comparison to the other OS's and browsers. Day 1 results Day 2 results Day 3 results Security seems to be lacking with Windows 10 and also its edge browser. But maybe you'll interpret the results differently.

Windows 10 didn’t do too well either, as every successful browser attack on Windows seemed to have a matching successful attack against the Windows kernel' 'while Chrome remained unhackable during the contest' Extremely misleading. Only one Chrome hack was attempted. That hack was expected to succeed, but took longer than the allotted time. If successful, 100% of the attempts to hack Chrome would have been successful. This is far worse than any other browser. Statistics are what you make of them. Brn wrote: Extremely misleading. Only one Chrome hack was attempted.

Statistics are what you make of them. It's also possible that more Chrome hacks weren't attempted because no one else found a usable exploit. We just don't know. As stated, last year Firefox had so many issues they didn't even enter it in the competition - so, 'winner', with no exploits. Agree that statistics are what you make of them. ![]() As far as Chrome goes, from what you see around the web Google does seem to take security more seriously than some, but ultimately we really don't know.

Yep, such events provide interesting anecdotes but serious statistical analyses they are not. Photo viewer like mac os x for windows 7. But in Windows 10, Microsoft has confused its users by providing another photo viewer called Photos, which is not liked by users as they are used to with Windows Photo Viewer. Windows Photo Viewer is the built-in app for viewing your photos in Windows. • only good enough to view pictures, and not tweak them. Almost all formats of images are supported by Windows Photo Viewer. • heavy power consuming and loads pictures relatively slow. ![]() As far as Chrome goes, from what you see around the web Google does seem to take security more seriously than some, but ultimately we really don't know. I generally agree with this. But I don't feel Google have got Android security nailed down as well as the security on their other offerings. Rb0321 wrote: • malch wrote: I generally agree with this.

That's for sure with Android as a group, but even with their own phones? Much less of an issue with their own phones since they do have a mechanism for timely updates. As you probably know, that's a huge issue with some third party Android devices. OTOH, there's possibly new trouble with Apple too: I'm thinking I should disable FindMyPhone (and hence I hope the remote wipe) on April 6. At least ensure a fresh backup to iTunes.

Yes, it's a shame since some very nice phones aren't protected as well as they could be. That's what I was thinking/hoping about Google phones, especially since I was thinking about getting a Pixel at some point. OTOH, there's possibly new trouble with Apple too: I'm thinking I should disable FindMyPhone (and hence I hope the remote wipe) on April 6. At least ensure a fresh backup to iTunes. Yeah, saw that too, maybe I'll turn off iCloud for a few days around then to be safe.
