Why should I restart my computer after I install updates?
I agree that you should always restart your PC after important update, but still, it can be annoying because many employees in company cannot do it immediately after program asks for restart and in most cases they do not know why it asks for restart and they call system administrator immediately. :) [Dr.Sandro]
How to configure Dr.Web Parental Control on a computer
I'm using Dr.Web Parental control every day and I can say it's amazing. Especially for blocking access for folders and read-only. What I would like to see in a new version is:
1.CHILD LOCATOR - See where your kids go on a map & set a safe area for them to stay in
2.REAL-TIME ALERTS - Get alert if kids try to access bad sites & apps, leave safe area & more
3.YOUTUBE SEARCH HISTORY - Discover your kids’ interests by viewing their YouTube searches
4.SCREEN TIME SCHEDULING - Set up exact time periods when screen time should be limited by device
5.DarkWeb monitoring
6.VPN
7.FileVault disk encryption [Dr.Sandro]

Email: An eternal tool, eternal threats
MAIL was, is, and (I hope!) Will (or at least remain?) A reliable and safe means of communication.
I got used to the mail somehow ...
The issue is very useful, it will not hurt anyone to repeat the rules of information security. [GREEN]

2. Encrypt the data before uploading it to a storage provider's server.
3. Always access your cloud drive over a secure connection.
4. Never use the same credentials with multiple accounts.

Don't believe them, don't be afraid, and protect yourselves
What can be avoided -- should be avoided. Including Citrix if they are vulnerable. [Niuxin]
