These days, the terms “antivirus” and “anti-malware” are used interchangeably . The best antivirus brands all include anti-malware features in their software . In the past, some anti-malware providers offered more specialized protection against specific types of malware (like ransomware). However, there’s practically no difference anymore.

Question 1

Does Windows 10 really need an antivirus?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you really do need an antivirus on Windows 10. Windows is the world’s most popular operating system and it's a huge target of many malware attacks. Although Windows 10 comes pre-installed with Microsoft Defender, it's only the most basic layer of protection and won’t protect you nearly as well as a dedicated antivirus company. Even many free antivirus brands perform much better than Microsoft Defender on its own.

Question 2

Is Microsoft Defender good enough for Windows?

Accepted Answer

While it offers decent protection, Microsoft simply isn't powerful enough to defend your Windows device against newly-released cyberthreats. I'd actually avoid using Microsoft Defender as your primary antivirus since it’s missing a number of features that you can get with other free programs. You can and still get plenty of features and a higher malware detection rate than Microsoft defender. It lacks a lot of features, but it’s still better than nothing (or just using Microsoft Defender by itself).

Question 3

Which antivirus is best for Windows?

Accepted Answer

Based on tests, the best antivirus for Windows is Norton 360. Norton 360 offers powerful protection for Windows 10, 8, and 7.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Every day, around 350,000 new pieces of malware are released onto the internet. Combined with hackers who probe devices for weakness, and phishing attacks designed to scam your hard-earned money, it's crucial to protect yours. Any one of these could be the threat that exposes your personal information to the wrong people — so it’s important to find an antivirus with strong internet security features.

Question 6

🤓 Why should I use an antivirus with security features?

Accepted Answer

An antivirus with added security features protects you against a wide range of cyberthreats with increased reliability. For instance, a regular antivirus that doesn’t focus some of its resources specifically on ransomware protection is far more likely to succumb to the latest ransomware threats. You may also want a VPN but not want to buy a separate subscription — several of my choices have powerful integrated VPNs. Essentially, these antivirus suites with added security features offer broad-ranging protection while providing an extremely cost-effective choice over separate software purchases.

Question 7

🤑 Can I download an internet security program for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are some quality free internet security programs — though they have some shortcomings compared to their paid alternatives. Bitdefender is a great antivirus with a free version. It focuses on using its advanced malware engine to protect against real-time malware threats as well as scanning for those already on your device. However, Bitdefender's free version is missing the advanced ransomware protection of its paid plans, as well as its webcam and microphone monitor, safe banking, password manager, and much more.

Question 8

🤑 What’s the best free anti-malware program?

Accepted Answer

Bitdefender has one of the best free anti-malware products on the market. However, the free version is very limited when it comes to more advanced types of malware, including ransomware. If you need to ensure the safety of your local files and protect against all possible cyber threats, I suggest you check out the premium version and see if it fits your budget.

Question 9

😐 Which anti-malware app is the best in {{YEAR}}?

Accepted Answer

Based on my tests, I found the best anti-malware is Norton. It scores consistently well in malware scans and real-time protection tests.

Question 11

😅 Is it necessary to have a VPN and antivirus?

Accepted Answer

Yes, VPNs and antivirus software serve very different purposes. A VPN improves your online privacy by encrypting your connection, while an antivirus protects you from malware, ransomware, and other online threats. When used in conjunction, they give you an excellent level of overall protection against numerous threats.

Question 12

🤑 What’s the best cheap antivirus with a VPN?

Accepted Answer

The best cheap antivirus with a VPN is Norton. It has 100% detection rates and several other security features, including ransomware and phishing protection. Coupled with a fast and unlimited bandwidth VPN that gives you access to several streaming platforms at an affordable price, Norton is a fantastic overall security suite.

Question 13

🤔 Is antivirus or VPN better?

Accepted Answer

Neither one is better — they address different threats and have varying benefits depending on your needs. An antivirus is almost entirely built to protect your device from digital threats, while a VPN improves privacy and adds the ability to unblock geo-restricted content. In this sense, neither is better — I recommend that every device has both as part of a complete security package.

Question 14

🤓 How do I install Plex plugins?

Accepted Answer

Even though Plex officially discontinued support for Plex plugins, you still have various options to install them. Each plugin has separate instructions that could be by installing through WebTools or Kitana, from a downloaded .exe, downloading a .zip file and dropping it into the Plex Plugins folder manually, or using Docker to install with a few lines of code. You’ll usually find a link to installation instructions on the download page.

Question 15

🙃 Why is my Plex plugin not responding?

Accepted Answer

There are several possible reasons why your Plex plugin isn’t responding, including:

If it hasn’t been updated for a while, it may simply be incompatible with Plex’s latest version. You can download an older version of Plex and try again.
If your plugin is accessed through your browser, check that you’re using the right port in the URL. In the case of WebTools as the first plugin on this list, this should be “localhost:33400”, but you may have configured your installation differently.
You may be missing other dependencies, such as PHP, which is required for Plex Export.

Question 16

😇 Will a VPN work on all my Plex streaming devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a VPN should work on practically all of your Plex-supported devices. There are a few devices such as Sonos and TiVo that don’t have native VPN support, but there's a solution. If you want them to be connected to a VPN, you can set up your router with a VPN connection to protect all devices connected to it. After I’ve tested over 15 of the best VPNs on the market, I found that NordVPN has the fastest servers, industry-leading security features, and support for numerous devices. You can even with its money-back guarantee.

Question 17

Can I watch the MotoGP {{YEAR}} for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! There are multiple streaming platforms you can use to watch the MotoGP races for free. If you’re looking for a free MotoGP broadcast with English commentators, Australia’s Network Ten is one of the best choices. You can also watch MotoGP {{YEAR}} for free in Belgium, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Albania, and Portugal. That said, I wouldn’t recommend using unofficial free MotoGP streams. Cybercriminals often set them up to install malware on your device without your consent. They then spy on your activity, read your files, and steal your personal information. Even if you find an unofficial free website that seems safe, you probably won’t finish the stream as Dorna Sports instantly removes any unlicensed broadcasts it finds! All of the official sports channels in these countries are geo-restricted so you’ll need a VPN to watch the races from start to finish for free. ExpressVPN has hundreds of servers in the MotoGP locations giving you a big choice of free viewing options. If you , you’ll get to watch the {{YEAR}} races at no extra cost for days!

Question 18

Can I watch the MotoGP races on my PC, phone, Amazon Fire Stick, or other devices?

Accepted Answer

The devices you can use to watch the MotoGP {{YEAR}} depend on which platform you stream the races on. You also need to choose a VPN that’s compatible with most operating systems to stream on all of your devices. The official MotoGP VideoPass app is compatible with Android, iOS, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku TV, Android TV, and MiBox. I also accessed its website on my Windows, Mac, and Linux laptops. YouTube TV, AT&T TV Now, Sling TV, fuboTV, Sky Sports Italia, BT Sport, DAZN, Canal+, and Hulu also give you a wide range of streaming device options (including Amazon Fire Stick). If you opt for any of the free broadcasters, you’ll only be able to watch MotoGP {{YEAR}} through your PC browser. Regardless of which device you want to watch the races on, you’ll have to get a VPN that can unblock the official streams on as many operating systems as possible. ExpressVPN is one of the best VPNs for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and more due to its broad device compatibility. I was also able to install the VPN on my router which automatically connected all of the devices on my WiFi to a US server. Doing so let me unblock the MotoGP streams even on devices that aren’t usually compatible with ExpressVPN (or any other VPN).

Question 19

Does a free American channel broadcast MotoGP {{YEAR}}?

Accepted Answer

Yes! NBC Sports is the official US broadcaster of the {{YEAR}} MotoGP season, but you can't access the channel for free if you don't live in the US. To watch the races from anywhere, you'll have to connect to a VPN to watch MotoGP on the American channel through YouTube TV, AT&T TV, Sling TV, and fuboTV. If you don’t have an account on any of these sites yet, you’ll need to subscribe to access the live TV feature. AT&T TV and fuboTV let me use my foreign credit card to subscribe — I just had to enter a random US zip code I found on Google (like 99501). Signing up to YouTube TV and Sling TV is trickier as both platforms require a US payment method. While I didn’t find a workaround for YouTube TV, I paid for Sling TV with a gift card from MyGiftCardSupply.com. Even when you subscribe, you’ll be blocked from viewing any content on these platforms if you don’t use a VPN to connect to a US server. ExpressVPN offers hundreds of US servers with unblocking technology that lets you watch NBC Sports live on Sling TV, fuboTV, and AT&T TV Now. Though I had to make the initial payment to sign up, I could due to its -day money-back guarantee.

Question 20

What else can I do with a VPN?

Accepted Answer

Aside from helping you watch the MotoGP streams with a VPN, a VPN can also:

Unblock other sporting events restricted to specific countries like the NFL, UFC, Wimbledon, and ATP Nitto Finals.
Access popular streaming services around the world such as Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and more.
Protect your devices and personal data with malware and ad blockers, even when you’re connected to public WiFi.
Give you full anonymity as you torrent to let you bypass P2P file-sharing bans in countries with strict internet laws.

There are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, but I was disappointed most services can’t unblock MotoGP or other live sports events. To get the best value for your money, you need a service that bypasses viewing restrictions and fast speeds. ExpressVPN is a top choice as it provides high-quality streaming, great security, and much more. It also lets you use its services completely risk-free for days as you can .

Question 21

💡 Can a VPN do more than help me watch Solo: A Star Wars Story?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a VPN can do much more than allow you to watch Solo: A Star Wars Story from anywhere. When connected to a VPN, you can:

Unblock streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video to watch restricted content from around the world.
Keep your devices and personal data secure. A VPN’s secure encryption keeps you safe on unprotected networks and hides your data from leaking to hackers and other malicious groups.
Torrent safely and without being tracked online. By replacing your normal IP and DNS addresses, a VPN lets you anonymously download.

Question 22

💻 What other Star Wars shows and movies are on Disney Plus?

Accepted Answer

Star Wars movies: You have access to the Prequel and Original trilogy, the newer Skywalker Saga, and the Anthology movies Solo: A Star Wars Story and Rogue One. Live-action Star Wars series: I recommend that you check out how to watch The Mandalorian, which is currently the only live-action series on Disney+. It’s set between Episodes VI and VII and follows an intergalactic bounty hunter as he travels the universe (and meets “Baby Yoda” along the way!). Animated Star Wars series: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (between movies Episode II and III) and Star Wars Rebels (between the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy), Star Wars Resistance (before and during the events of the sequel trilogy), and Star Wars: Forces of Destiny (across multiple Star Wars eras). You’ll also find the Lego Star Wars episodes, which kids and kids at heart will love! Besides Star Wars, Disney offers a lot more content. This includes almost all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Infinity War will be added later this year and Loki will be launched within the next year. You’ll also have access to beautifully animated and family-friendly movies from Pixar, such as WALL-E and the Toy Story series. You can also subscribe to a Disney+ bundle, which gives you additional services for a more cost-effective overall plan. One of my favorites is the Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu bundle. It gives you access to content on Disney, ESPN+ sports (both live and archived), and Hulu. While bundle is only available in the US, you can easily connect to a US server before creating your account.

Question 23

🔍 How can I sign up to watch Disney Plus from anywhere?

Accepted Answer

Download and open a VPN that can unblock Disney+. ExpressVPN is my top choice for watching Disney+ with instant loading and fast speeds for high-quality streaming.
Connect to a server in a country that supports Disney+. I chose the UK since it’s the closest server to me that can access Disney+.
Go to disneyplus.com and choose “Sign up for Disney+”.
When you’ve signed up, stay connected to the VPN, and log in. Start streaming without restrictions!

Question 24

⚙️ What devices does Disney Plus support?

Accepted Answer

You can watch Disney+ on the following devices:

Operating systems: Windows, Mac, and Chromebook
Mobile devices: Android (5.0 or later), iOS and iPadOS (11.0 or later), and Fire tablet (Fire OS 5.0 or later)
Smart TVs: Apple TV (select versions), Samsung TVs (2016 or later with Tizen OS), Vizio SmartCast TVs (2016 or later, with exceptions), Android TV (5.0 or later), and LG TV (WebOS 3.0 or later)
