A new year has just begun that will undoubtedly be plagued with technological developments, new releases and countless applications that we’ll try to keep you updated of at all times. We will talk about many different categories, but, inevitably, one of the most important sections will be dedicated to the privacy and security of computers and antivirus.
With the arrival of a new year, cyber criminals will try to “surprise” us with new ways of accessing our data either through the various forms of malware that you can find today or through some new technologies. However, to fight against all this, the different companies specialized in everything computer security related try to keep our PCs updated, in order to stay one step ahead of these computer criminals, something that is extremely difficult.
In fact you can find a good number of applications in the market especially designed for this purpose, although sometimes it is a complicated task to know which is the most suitable alternative for us to choose in each case. As always, at least when it comes to desktop systems, most attacks target the different Windows systems, as they are the most widespread and used in the world.
