Chrome will soon start blocking annoying ads by default

Posted on June 7, 2017

Don’t you just hate those annoying ads that hide the actual content of a web page until you click a hard-to-find “Close” button?

Or how about the ones that force you to wait ten seconds while a timer counts down to zero?

And even worse, those ads that start playing audio at maximum volume just as soon as the page is loaded into your browser?

Well, I happen to despise those annoying types of ads, I’m guessing that you despise them too.

And apparently the folks at Google agree with us.  [Read more…]

Scam alert: Beware the new “Cerber” ransomware that’s hitting so many devices right now

Posted on April 17, 2017

Like other forms of malware, ransomware constantly evolves to ensure that as many unsuspecting victims can be attacked as possible before the word gets out about the latest threat.
