"Update your Windows 10 OS as soon as possible!" When Microsoft, in its press release about two months ago, asserted having patched two critical Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities, frustrated users were left with no choice but to look further for alternative security systems.

Hackers have moved on from viruses and are using malware variants faster than our readiness to combat them. Ransomware, Keyloggers, Spyware and many others are more than just a problem for Windows users, be it basic or premium. In fact, cybersecurity is a serious offense and none of us is completely protected. Approximately $6 trillion is feared in damages due to cyber-crimes by 2021while we are still locking horns with the quality of our OS — not that Windows is bad; the attacks it has to endure are worse.
