Microsoft just retired their <b>Windows Live Movie Maker</b> on January 17, 2017, and it is not available to download by any means. If somehow you get the executable file of Windows Movie Maker then it will not install on Windows 10. However, it may still work on Windows 7 but will not get any Microsoft support. If you were previously using Windows Movie Maker then you might be wanting it to work on Windows 10. And for this, you may download the Windows Movie Maker setup file from third-party sites. But I suggest not to do this because that file may contain malicious code which can harm your computer and files.<br />
<br />
There are many free video editing software available on the internet. And some of them resembles the Windows Movie Maker. An example of this is a VideoPad video editor. Some other free alternatives to Windows Live Movie Maker are Shotcut, VSDC free video editor, and Avidemux. But a free video editor does come with some limitations.<br />
<br />
Some of them will put their watermark in your videos. Some of them will not let you convert videos to Full HD or 4K. And mostly free video editors don't provide the essential video editing tools which are required to produce a meaningful video. If somehow free video editors provide you full features then they will be limited in some way and you will be asked to upgrade the software by paying money.<br />
<br />
So why wasting your precious time behind free video editors when you can get the full-featured video editor at a dirt cheap price with a lifetime license. If you are affected by the Microsoft's decision of retiring the Windows Movie Maker then this article will benefit you. In this article, we are providing you the cheapest paid alternative to Windows Movie Maker 2018.<br />
<br />
This cheapest paid Windows Movie Maker alternative is <b>Movavi Video Editor 14 Plus</b>. Besides knowing the useful features of a particular software most users will always quote the price as a '<u>cons</u>'. But after reading this article your views will be in the favor of this paid software as you can have it at a dirt cheap price with a lifetime license.<br />

<h1>
Features Of Movavi Video Editor 14 Plus</h1>
<b>1. Object Animation</b>: With this feature, you can animate objects and turn them into a moving animation by using keyframes. Object animation is a useful feature that is needed to animate clipart themed videos. Windows Movie Maker didn't have this feature.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Green Screen Video</b>: You may have seen many videos on YouTube or TV where the actors are shot against the green screen that later is replaced by burning cars, collapsing skyscrapers, or landscapes of astonishing beauty. This is also known as chroma key effect. Just shoot your video against a solid green background and use Movavi Video Editor to replace the background with the movie or video of your choice.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Picture in Picture (Split screen video)</b>: Showing multiple videos (side-by-side) on the same screen is an essential feature that wasn't supported by the Windows Movie Maker. With Movavi you can split the screen between two videos and also choose or delete the audio from the videos. You can place many videos on the same screen.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Built-in Media</b>: Movavi Video Editor Plus has built-in media. It has 16 new video clips, 86 themed stickers and 22 new music tracks. So it is easy to put the background music in your videos without taking care of the copyrights if you are sharing them on YouTube.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Cut, Trim, Rotate, Join Videos</b>: You can cut, trim, rotate, and join multiple videos together.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Callouts</b>: During a video, you may need to highlight something on the screen with an arrow or an animated circle. For this purpose, callouts can be used to highlight or point towards important information in the video.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Highlight and Conceal</b>: If you want to blur out faces or hide parts of a video and then use the conceal feature. But the only cons of this feature is that the hiding is not object tracking based. It only hides a fixed part on the screen. But it is still useful if the object is not moving.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Text Titles</b>: Movavi Video Editor 14 Plus has lots of title texts. You can use them stylize texts in your video with animation. The texts can also be used to create intros for your brand. There are many text templates available and you can edit and design the text to fit your editing needs.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Countdown/Stopwatch Video Timer</b>: Ever wondered how YouTube videos show stopwatch or countdown timers along with the playing videos? The timers feature wasn't available in the Windows Movie Maker and it is useful if you are making a video which requires an on-screen timer to record the time. The timer can be applied to any time-related video like counting the minutes of a booting computer on SSD. Counting the time of your gameplay videos.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Video Formats</b>: You don't need to worry about video formats as Movavi supports almost every important video format that is mostly used by us like MP4, AVI, MPEG, MKV, DVD etc. You can export your video in 4K format also for UHD TVs and screens. All resolutions are supported and custom resolutions are also supported.<br />

Recently we shared a post on upgrading your old PC and notebooks to latest Windows 10 legally. You should upgrade your PC/laptop to Windows 10 because it is highly secured and gets timely security updates. If you are using Windows 10 that your computer is safe from ransomware, viruses, and other software vulnerabilities. Indeed Windows 10 is a great and possibly the best operating system today, I won't talk about MAC OS here. But like its predecessors, Windows 10 also comes with several system-level problems. Some of these problems will stay forever if not fixed. First of all, if you have not got your free copy of new Windows 10 then <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/07/how-to-upgrade-to-windows-10-for-free.html" target="_blank">read this post</a>.<br />
<br />
Recently I have encountered a serious problem on my Windows 10 notebook which is related to the disk usage. I noticed it a few days back and found that the system performance was ultra slow due to 100% disk usage. The Windows 10 system was using the disk resources completely and no spare resources were left for other programs. The notebook was booting very slowly and the programs took ages to load. So, I started some research on the internet and found that most of the tech websites blamed several internal Windows 10 services for 100% disk usage. But unfortunately none of the listed solutions worked for me and the disk usage remained 100% even after applying the fixes.<br />
<br />
So, if your <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/07/how-to-extend-system-reserved-partition-windows-7-8-10.html" target="_blank">Windows 10</a> system is eating up your disk resources and making the disk usage to 100% then don't waste time in searching the internet for fixes. I am telling several fixes that you'll find on most websites and those fixes don't work at all.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
7 Fixes That Don't Fix The 100% Disk Usage in Windows 10</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Disable Windows search</li>
<li>Disable Superfetch</li>
<li>Check antivirus software</li>
<li>Disable flash plugin in browsers like chrome or firefox</li>
<li>Disable or uninstall Skype</li>
<li>Check PCI-Express Firmware Bug (storahci.sys)</li>
<li>Disable diagnostic tracking</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
If you are going to try any of the above non-working fixes then it would be a waste of time. I am unable to get it why Windows search will elevate the disk usage to 100%. Most people also blame superfetch for 100% disk usage but it is also not true. Based on my investigations I found that the flash plugin, Skype, storahci driver, and the diagtrack are not responsible for the 100% disk usage. However I will suggest you scan your computer for viruses with your antivirus, I recommend <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/07/avast-1752302-adds-ransomware-shield-to.html" target="_blank">Avast Internet Security</a>. But my antivirus didn't find any virus and the disk usage was still 100%. I also recommend you to scan your computer with adwcleaner to remove any potentially unwanted program, get adwcleaner <a href="https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hp4V8CBNTN4/WfiFkCUtmvI/AAAAAAAAG88/wBDEvBbggt8PoA2dVf0ZTpc-BPc6bn9UwCKgBGAs/s1600/100%2Bdisk%2Busage%2Bwindows%2B10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="task manager disk 100 windows 10" border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hp4V8CBNTN4/WfiFkCUtmvI/AAAAAAAAG88/wBDEvBbggt8PoA2dVf0ZTpc-BPc6bn9UwCKgBGAs/s1600/100%2Bdisk%2Busage%2Bwindows%2B10.jpg" title="" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
So what actually is causing this problem? Finally, I found that the <b>Windows update service</b> (cleanup) was causing the <b>100% disk usage problem</b>. It doesn't matter whether your computer using an HDD or SSD as both kinds of drives are affected. Windows update service downloads many updates frequently. So it will also create a lot of junk files on your system. The size of these junk would be in GBs. Windows update downloads new updates and replaces older files with new files and creates a backup of old files. This backup is almost useless and should be deleted. You can find and delete Windows update junk files via 'Disk cleanup'.<br />
<br />
<h1>
How To Fix 100% Disk Usage In Windows 10</h1>
The tutorial tells the solution in two parts. So we will first discuss about the part 1 then move on to part 2.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
➜ Part 1</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Go to '<b>My PC</b>'. Right click on C:\ drive and click '<b>Properties</b>'. Then click '<b>Disk cleanup</b>'.</li>
<li>Wait for few seconds till the second dialog box opens. Click '<b>Clean up system files</b>'.</li>
<li>If you see '<b>Windows update cleanup</b>' then check it. Also check other junk files except the '<b>Windows error reporting</b>'.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XqT7ENoKiqU/Wfh_LNSFd5I/AAAAAAAAG8M/xbRlVyEGzb8bv2oJHKCAyGUXovfqi3AQgCKgBGAs/s1600/100%2525%2Bdisk%2Busage%2Bin%2Bwindows%2B10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="377" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XqT7ENoKiqU/Wfh_LNSFd5I/AAAAAAAAG8M/xbRlVyEGzb8bv2oJHKCAyGUXovfqi3AQgCKgBGAs/s1600/100%2525%2Bdisk%2Busage%2Bin%2Bwindows%2B10.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>After selecting the files click 'OK'. Then another dialog box will open. Click '<b>Delete Files</b>' to delete the junk files.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
➜ Part 2</h2>
Now you have deleted the junk files. Now Part 2 starts here. In this part we will first stop the Windows update service and then delete the '<b>SoftwareDistribution</b>' folder. Follows the steps below.
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Press the <span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Windows key+X</span> and select '<b>Command Prompt (Admin)</b>'.</li>
<li>In the command prompt type the following command below.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>net stop wuauserv</b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>If this command fails then press <span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Windows key+R</span> and type '<b>services.msc</b>' and hit enter.</li>
<li>Here find '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Windows update</span>'. Right click on it and select 'Stop'. After stopping the service right click on it and click 'Properties'.</li>
<li>In '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Startup type</span>' select '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Disabled</span>'.Click 'OK' and close the services management console.</li>
<li>If somehow the Windows update service fails to stop then restart your computer and use any of the method above to stop it.</li>
<li>After stopping the service go to '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">My PC</span>' and open '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">C:\Windows</span>'.</li>
<li>Find the '<b>SoftwareDistribution</b>' folder here and delete it.</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
➜ Important Note</span>: Do not skip the steps below. The steps below tell how to start Windows update service. You should never keep Windows update disabled otherwise your computer won't receive any updates from Microsoft.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>After deleting this folder press <span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Windows key+R</span> and type '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">services.msc</span>' then hit enter.</li>
<li>Here find the Windows update service. Right click on it and click '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Start</span>'.</li>
<li>After the service gets started again click on it to select '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Properties</span>'.</li>
<li>Make sure in '<span style="background-color: #ea9999;">Startup type</span>' '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Manual</span>' is selected. Click 'OK' and exit.</li>
<li>Restart your computer.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After applying this above mentioned fix the 100% disk usage problem will be fixed. You can check it yourself by opening the task manager. To open the task manager press Windows key+X and select '<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">Task Manager</span>'. Here check the disk usage it would be less than 10% and sometimes 0%.</div>
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
FAQ 1: My Disk Usage Is Still 100% Even After Applying The Fix</h2>
Well the disk usage will be 100% if you transfer data from the hard disk or write on to it. You may see high disk usage after initial booting. However this effect will be there for only few minutes. After that the disk usage will return to normal. If even after applying the fix the disk usage is 100% then check Windows update. Use the following commands to fix this issue.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Press Windows key+X and click '<b>Command Prompt (Admin)</b>'.</li>
<li>Type '<b>net stop wuauserv</b>'.</li>
<li>If the service doesn't get stopped then re-execute the command.</li>
<li>After the service gets stopped type the command '<b>net start wuauserv</b>' to start the Windows update service.</li>
</ul>
<br />
So we have fixed the 100% disk usage problem in <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/08/how-to-disable-fast-startup-on-windows-10.html" target="_blank">Windows 10</a> for any HDD or SSD. So if you find this article useful then please take two minutes to share it.<br />

Transferring files from your PC to Android phone is not a difficult task at all. All you need is just a USB cable to connect your Android phone to PC for file transfer. But if you don't want to use the USB cable at all then you can share files between PC and Android phone via WiFi network. Using a home or a secured Wi-Fi network to transfer files between your PC (Windows 10 and Mac OS) and Android phone is a good option because it will be faster than USB.<br />
<br />
For transferring files from PC to Android phone you can also use Bluetooth. But again Bluetooth isn't good for sharing large files. Finally, you are left with the Wi-Fi file transfer. So without wasting much time, you should try this option to quickly and wirelessly share files between PC and Android phone.<br />
<br />

Android screen recording is a wonderful feature for Android smartphones. A few years ago Android screen recording wasn't that easy. Because at that time the Android screen recording feature wanted your phone to be rooted. So, it was a very complex process as first you have to root your phone and then had to find a suitable Android screen recording app.<br />
<br />
But since the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop, we do have Android screen recording apps that don't require your phone to be rooted. You can record your Android phone screen with quality apps like AZ screen recorder. Now you can use your non-rooted phone to record its screen for gameplay and making tutorials. So it is quite a wonderful feature.<br />
<br />

<br />
Following this trend smartphone company like Xiaomi has started pushing a screen recording feature update in its smartphones. If you own a Xiaomi phone which is running <b>MIUI 8.0</b> or above then you can use the hidden screen recording feature on it.<br />
<br />
There is a reason why I am calling this a hidden screen recorder in Xiaomi phones. This is because the MIUI screen recorder is available in '<u>Tools</u>' folder and is not visible among apps by default. So Xiaomi phone users you don't need to install a third-party Android <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2017/12/how-to-use-game-dvr-as-screen-recorder.html" target="_blank">screen recorder</a> because your phone has it already, but it's a basic one.<br />

What is Android Internal Audio Recording?</h2>
Suppose you are playing a game on your Android. The game has audio which you hear from the speaker. This sound comes from within the game's audio files. If you want to record this game with its sound then we will call it Android internal audio recording. This type of recording doesn't use the phone's MIC that's why it is always free from external sounds and noises. Currently, third-party Android screen recording apps don't support internal audio recording. But the MIUI screen recorder is fully capable of recording internal Android audio.<br />
<br />
If you own a non-Xiaomi phone and want to clearly record internal audio while screen recording then check this <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2016/09/how-to-record-android-screen-with-clear-audio.html">detailed tutorial</a>.<br />

Android users face a very common problem of lost or deleted data. This is the only major problem that every Android user has faced at least once in his/her life. Sometimes while migrating Android data from an old phone to a new phone you may lose your data if the process isn't carried out carefully. And accidental Android data deletion is a nightmare for every Android user. Accidental deletion can happen anytime with anyone and in this situation, we can only blame the user for his doings.<br />
<br />
First of all, I would suggest every Android user have a backup of his/her data. Android phones are getting bigger and bigger in internal storage. Some 8 or 10 years ago we used to see 2GB space as a big one but now in 2018, we feel that even 64GB of internal storage becomes less sometimes.<br />
<br />
As the phone storage increased people started relying heavily on them and stopped using memory or SDcards. Back in old days we mostly used micro SDcards for saving our photos, videos, and songs and if any file got deleted then it was much easier to recover it from an SDcard. But today we just have stopped using micro SDcards and taking regular backups of our Android phone data.<br />
<br />
Recovering lost data from the internal storage of an Android phone is not an easy job. You'll need a special software for this that can access your phone's internal storage. And secondly, for a recovery software to deeply scan your phone's internal storage, it has to be rooted. So, you see why we are facing problems with our data, why we are losing it, and why we are finding it hard to recover it.<br />
<br />
This is because most people don't care about backing up their precious data and then face the consequences in case of lost data. So be a good and responsible Android user, backup your data on a regular basis. For backing up your data you can use a flash drive or an external hard drive.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Check this external HDD</u></b></span>: <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2017/01/wd-western-digital-my-passport-ultra-1tb-review.html" target="_blank">WD My Passport Ultra 1TB External Hard Drive Review</a><br />

A Twitter user SandboxEscaper just found a new zero-day vulnerability in Windows 10. The Twitter user also posted a proof-of-concept on their Github which tested and verified by US-CERT. Microsoft is aware of this vulnerability and is currently planning to a release a patch on its Patch Tuesday cycle on September 11, 2018. But currently, there is no fix to this vulnerability.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M8_q75WtgpE/W4gNHFPCb4I/AAAAAAAAIfE/RFStdideX2EQJkj4akfyOK-IrIomn1E1wCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2B10%2Blogo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="93" data-original-width="500" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M8_q75WtgpE/W4gNHFPCb4I/AAAAAAAAIfE/RFStdideX2EQJkj4akfyOK-IrIomn1E1wCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2B10%2Blogo.png" /></a></div>
<br />
The vulnerability becomes active if a hacker is able to exploit the Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) system. It allows a hacker to gain the system access as an administrator on a vulnerable Windows 10 64-bit PC or a Windows Server 2016. Some experts believe that for this vulnerability to exploit a PC it should gain local access first. It is not easy for a hacker to gain local access to your computer. For this purpose, a hacker will try many phishing tricks with you or trick you to install a custom developed malware which lets him/her local access on your Windows 10 PC.<br />
<br />
Therefore the risk and threat level of this zero-day vulnerability are pretty low. As long as you stay vigilant about your network and PC security hackers will have a hard time targeting you. As there is no patch available for this zero-day vulnerability, therefore, you can just prevent it until Microsoft releases a patch for this.<br />

This is the first time when Microsoft released the ISO files of Windows Insider previews officially. However, a normal user is barred from downloading the Windows 10 Redstone 5 ISO. At present only a Windows Insider Programme can download it. Also, make sure that Windows Insider Previews aren't stable and come with unfinished features. So your system may crash or show you BSODs. So if you are going to download and install the Windows 10 Redstone 5 ISO then make sure that you have a proper backup of your precious data.<br />

Recently Google and WhatsApp had an agreement in which Google agreed to not count the storage space taken by your WhatsApp chat database file against your Google Drive storage quota. WhatsApp provides two ways to backup your chat history. One is the local backup which automatically takes place daily and the chat history file gets stored on your phone's internal storage. The second option is the Google drive backup, you can <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2015/08/how-to-save-whatsapp-chat-backup-on-google-drive.html" target="_blank">store your WhatsApp backup on Google drive</a>.<br />
<br />
For this purpose, you'll need a Google account that WhatsApp will ask during chat backup. Google blog has stated that WhatsApp chat databases that have not been updated for more than a year will be automatically deleted after October 30, 2018. So you need to update your chat history backup. But do you think Google drive is a safe way to save your WhatsApp chat history backup file?<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Why Storing WhatsApp Chat Backup History on Google Drive is Not a Good Option</h2>
<div>
WhatsApp introduced end-to-end encryption in 2016 to protect the privacy of its users. With end-to-end data encryption standard, the messages and media files that you send on WhatsApp will remain encrypted. WhatsApp makes a local backup of chat history on your phone's storage. This chat history database file is unreadable in its original state. But it can be easily restored on a new WhatsApp number and can be decrypted without any extra efforts. So, technically there is no use of this encryption because if someone gets your chat database file then he/she can read your messages by restoring the backup on a new number.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But storing your WhatsApp chat backup on Google drive is even scarier. WhatsApp stores unencrypted chat history database on Google drive. Which means there is no encryption at all and Google can read your WhatsApp messages and may handover your chat history to Governments on request. Not only Google or Governments but if you lose your phone then someone will take over your Google account and may restore your chats on another WhatsApp number using the Google drive WhatsApp chat backup.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In both, the cases encryption is just a mere word. It fails to serve the purpose of user privacy. You can easily restore and read WhatsApp chat history from one number to another. So, it is better to delete your WhatsApp Google drive backup and only keep a local backup.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Your WhatsApp chats may reveal a lot about you if someone gets a hold of them. So, keep your phone secure and never use Google drive backup. In my opinion, don't backup WhatsApp chats at all and keep deleting backup or choose to never backup your chats automatically.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

How to Delete Hidden WhatsApp Chat History Backup From Google Drive</h1>
</div>
<div>
Google Drive and <b>Google Drive for business, Google Drive for Work</b> store your WhatsApp chat history database in a hidden way. It actually doesn't store the chat database file in its original form but in a way that is readable by WhatsApp and Google only. Recently, Google was found to be tracking its users even when the GPS remained shut. So there's a lot of privacy concerns when you use online cloud services. Only you can keep your privacy private. To delete the WhatsApp chat history backup from Google storage drive, you have to follow the steps below.<br />

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Click '<b>REMOVE ACCESS</b>' and you're done. Click '<b>OK</b>' to confirm.</li>
<li>After that WhatsApp will no longer be able to upload your chat history to your Google account.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Completely Removing Google Account from WhatsApp</h2>
<div>
After revoking access WhatsApp will again ask for permission if you try to backup your chats. If you accidentally grant permission then your chat history will be uploaded again to Google cloud drive. So to prevent this we have to completely remove the Google account from WhatsApp.</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Take a fresh backup of your WhatsApp chat history by going to '<b>Settings>Chats>Chat backup</b>'. Tap the '<b>BACK UP</b>' button and backup your most recent and entire chat history to the WhatsApp folder.</li>
<li>Now copy this freshly updated 'WhatsApp' folder from your phone's storage and store it to another location like your PC. </li>
<li>Now go to android '<b>Settings</b>' and find '<b>Apps</b>'. Tap it to open and find WhatsApp.</li>
<li>Open it and tap '<b>Storage</b>' then tap '<b>CLEAR DATA</b>'.</li>
<li>Now, re-setup WhatsApp by entering your mobile number. Don't worry your chats will be restored during the setup.</li>
<li>Please make sure after you restore your chats during setup then next step will ask you to set up the backup interval for Google Drive. </li>
<li>You have to select '<b>Never</b>', if you select any other option then you will also have to add your Google account. Without doing this WhatsApp can't complete setup. So choose '<u>Never</u>' to prevent such a situation.</li>
</ul>
</div>

</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Now when you see your chats go to '<b>Settings>Chats>Chat backup</b>'. You'll see here that under '<b>Google Drive Settings</b>' the account is to '<u>None</u>' and backup is set to '<u>Never</u>'.</li>
<li>In this case, if you tap the green '<b>BACK UP</b>' button then it will store your chat database on your phone's internal storage which is much more secure than Google storage WhatsApp backup.</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div>
Using WhatsApp comes with a great responsibility as you have to keep your data safe. So be careful and take and store backups smartly. </div>

<b>WhatsApp</b> is the number one instant messaging service app. Since its launch, WhatsApp has added a lot more useful features in it like free voice call and video call. And it gets new features soon. WhatsApp is a convenient way to share media files, document files, and quick messages. With WhatsApp, you can chat with anyone and send files to anyone. The only thing you have to do is to save that person's contact number in your phone and sync it with the app.<br />
<br />
But most of the times you may want to chat with a person just for a few times like sending a file or document. So for this, it isn't necessary that you store that person's contact number in your phone to initiate a WhatsApp chat. In this tutorial, we will teach you to send WhatsApp messages to anyone without saving his contact number to your Android or iPhone. Please note that this trick will only work if the recipient is an active <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2017/11/how-to-send-any-file-type-in-whatsapp.html" target="_blank">WhatsApp</a> user.<br />
<br />
<h1>
Send WhatsApp Messages Without Saving a Contact</h1>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Copy this link <b>https://wa.me/contact_number</b></li>
<li>Replace the '<b>contact_number</b>' with the recipient's contact number with country code and without the plus sign.</li>
<li>So if a user is from India and has contact number '<b><u>0000000000</u></b>' then this link will look like this as below. '<b><u>91</u></b>' is the country code for India</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>https://wa.me/910000000000</b></blockquote>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When you modify the above link with your contact's number then on going to this link a message will appear on the screen in the browser. The above link will redirect to this link.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=910000000000</b></blockquote>
If you use the above link then this will also work just like short link mentioned above.<br />

<b>Windows 10</b> automatically sets a WiFi or Ethernet network to public. Windows 10 by default applies the ‘<u>Public</u>’ profile for every network you connect the first time. The WiFi network profile will remain set to ‘<u>Public</u>’ unless you change it to ‘Private’. Windows 10 provides three network profiles which are ‘<u>Public</u>’, ‘<u>Private</u>’, and ‘<u>Domain</u>’. The ‘<u>Domain</u>’ profile is only available to the enterprise version of Windows 10. Windows 10 considers the ‘<u>Public</u>’ profile more safe and strict because in this profile the PC isn’t discoverable by other PCs on the same network and file and printer sharing is also disabled by default.<br />
<br />
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script> However, if you want to change your WiFi from public to private then it can be done in just a few clicks. But make sure that you only set your home network as private. Never set a public WiFi network to private which is freely available in coffee shops, airports, or railway stations. So, changing a WiFi network from public to private can be done by changing the Windows 10 network profile. Network profile gives two options for every WiFi or any other type of network which are ‘<b>Public</b>’, and ‘<b>Private</b>’.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But the problem is that many users complain that the network profile is missing. The network profile should be there in network properties and between the “<b>Connect automatically when in range</b>”, and “<b>Metered connection</b>” options. But for many users, this Windows 10 network profile is missing and they can’t set their WiFi from public to private. The <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/12/how-to-use-game-dvr-as-screen-recorder.html" target="_blank">Windows 10</a> version <b>1803</b> and <b>1709</b> both have this problem.

</script><br />
There is a reason why network profile options are missing in Windows 10. The reason is simple if you are using a third party firewall or an antivirus with a built-in firewall like ‘<b>Avast Internet Security</b>’ rather than the Windows defender firewall then the network profile options get hidden. The only thing you can do to bring back these options is to disable the third party firewall for a few minutes. After disabling the third party firewall the network profile options will come back again. Now you can easily set your WiFi network from public to private or vice versa. When you enable the third party firewall the options will disappear again.<br />
<br />
<br />
To change the network profile for a particular WiFi first connect to it and follow the steps below.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Make sure you have disabled the third party firewall for a while.</li>
<li>If you are using Avast Internet Security then go to ‘<b>Protection>Firewall</b>’. Disable it for 10 minutes.</li>
<li>Now in Windows 10 go to ‘<b>Settings>Network & Internet>Status</b>’.</li>
<li>Click ‘<b>Change connection properties</b>’.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Now you’ll see two options here. Set the WiFi from public to private if it is a home network.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NX1vv7lvGA8/W3Eb8vTlACI/AAAAAAAAIZc/llFAcXnjWw0AGMd0_LannqD1qWtCb-nGQCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2B10%2Bnetwork%2Bprofile%2Bmissing.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="517" data-original-width="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NX1vv7lvGA8/W3Eb8vTlACI/AAAAAAAAIZc/llFAcXnjWw0AGMd0_LannqD1qWtCb-nGQCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2B10%2Bnetwork%2Bprofile%2Bmissing.JPG" /></a>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>To be on a safe also disable the network discovery and file and printer sharing if you are not going to use it in ‘<b>Network & sharing centre</b>’ by changing the ‘<b>Advanced sharing options</b>’.</li>
<li>Now you can re-enable the third party firewall.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
You don’t always have to disable your third-party firewall to change the network profile. You can change it via multiple ways like from using the <b>secpol.msc</b>, using the registry editor, and using the Windows PowerShell. We will discuss these options in the next article.<br />

<b>Windows Live Mail</b> has bee discontinued by Microsoft and it is no longer available for download. If you try to run your existing Windows Live Mail client then it will keep crashing. Microsoft has retired it finally and now you have to move on to some other email clients. If you are looking for a free email client for Windows 7 or Windows 10 then you can try Mozilla Thunderbird.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LdZb64ylqlI/W2G0qiSSZqI/AAAAAAAAIYU/pa2cmdmuEEkLCEvyslzqCmhm3Ge1f-UsgCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2Blive%2Bmail%2Bto%2Bmozilla%2Bthunderbird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="666" height="246" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LdZb64ylqlI/W2G0qiSSZqI/AAAAAAAAIYU/pa2cmdmuEEkLCEvyslzqCmhm3Ge1f-UsgCKgBGAs/s640/windows%2Blive%2Bmail%2Bto%2Bmozilla%2Bthunderbird.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free email client with all the necessary features that you'll require in a Windows mail client. Mozilla Thunderbird also supports Add-ons or extensions which bring several impossible works to reality. One such task is to restore the <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/12/how-to-use-game-dvr-as-screen-recorder.html" target="_blank">Windows</a> Live Mail backup on Mozilla Thunderbird. This task seems impossible because there is no direct way to import Windows Live (<b>.eml</b>) messages to Mozilla Thunderbird. EML is the file format of the email messages exported as a backup by the Windows Live Mail.<br />
<br />
<h1>
Import Windows Live Mails Messages to Mozilla Thunderbird With ImportExportTools</h1>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Make sure you have the backup of your old Windows Live Mail messages. I can't show you how to take a backup as eml because the client is no longer working.</li>
<li>If you are currently running Windows Live Mail then try to export your messages from Windows Mail in .eml format.</li>
<li>Now save the backup to your desktop and download and install Mozilla Thunderbird from this link.</li>
<li>Open it and click the hamburger menu in the top right corner. Here go to '<b>Options>Account Settings</b>'.</li>
<li>Now click '<b>Account Actions</b>' and then click '<b>Add Mail Account</b>'. A dialog box will open asking you to enter the username and password of your email. Enter the details and follow the instructions to add the mailbox to Mozilla Thunderbird.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QvBeiKM0Eqo/W2G0zTPDtZI/AAAAAAAAIYY/bbGD0AGFx4c0SG7fa8Fe7mpcqpMcKVriQCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2Blive%2Bmail%2Bto%2Bthunderbird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="491" data-original-width="450" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QvBeiKM0Eqo/W2G0zTPDtZI/AAAAAAAAIYY/bbGD0AGFx4c0SG7fa8Fe7mpcqpMcKVriQCKgBGAs/s1600/windows%2Blive%2Bmail%2Bto%2Bthunderbird.jpg" /></a></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Now after setting up the mailbox download the <b>ImportExportTools</b> from this link.</li>
<li>Now open Mozilla Thunderbird and click the hamburger menu in the top right corner and then select '<u>Add-ons</u>'. In the '<b>Add-ons Manager</b>' click the '<u>Extension</u>' tab on the left side.</li>
<li>Now click the gear/settings icon just before the search button and click '<b>Install Add-on From File</b>'. Pick the <u>ImportExportTools</u> add-on from where you saved it to install. After installing the add-on restart the program.</li>
</ul>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Now we are ready and it's up to you where you want to import the eml messages to local folders or the original mail account.</li>
<li>Currently, I am importing the Windows Live Mail eml messages to local folders in Thunderbird.</li>
<li>To import right click on '<b>Local Folders</b>' and select '<u>New Folder</u>'. Create a new folder for convenience and import the eml messages to this folder.</li>
<li>Right click on this newly created folder and open the submenu of '<b>ImportExportTools</b>'. Click '<b>Import all messages from a directory</b>' and then select '<b>also from its subdirectories</b>'.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Locate the Windows Live Mail backup folder and open it.</li>
<li>Your all eml messages will be imported to Mozilla Thunderbird in this new folder.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">Note</span></u>: The ImportExportTools has a problem importing very large eml backups. It doesn't work with multiple subdirectories. So if you have a large eml messages backup then this will not work. In this case you have to manually import each subdirectory which is nothing but just a collection of folders and <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2017/09/fix-gmail-is-having-trouble-with-google-play-services.html" target="_blank">Windows Live messages</a> in eml format. So, this manual importing process will be time consuming but is definitely worth spending time. Because you can see all the emails in one place.</blockquote>
<br />
So this is how we can import Windows Live Mail messages to Mozilla Thunderbird using a third party add-on. If you liked the article then do take two minutes to share it.</div>

<b>YouTube</b> has just got the <b>incognito mode</b> feature update. Now you can watch YouTube videos without getting tracked by Google. This simply means that you are now able to watch YouTube videos anonymously. Your watch history and search history will not be saved in your Google account. Google won't track you in the incognito mode and you won't see any video recommendations based on your search history because of the incognito mode.<br />
<br />
The incognito mode feature is currently available to Android users only and will be available soon for iPhone users to. Prior to the introduction of the YouTube incognito mode it was and it is still possible to permanently pause your search and watch history in YouTube. But this won't save you from Google's tracking. If you don't want yourself to get tracked by Google then use the incognito mode.<br />
<br />
While YouTube's incognito mode provides some sort of anonymity while searching and watching videos. But it is still not completely tracking proof. Your Wi-Fi administrator may track your online presence and may see what you have watched in YouTube. So you have to be careful while connecting to Wi-Fi networks. Completely avoid public Wi-Fi connections. If possible then use a <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2016/03/expressvpn-for-android-review-protect-identity-android.html" target="_blank">paid VPN service</a> to completely avoid tracking.<br />

DVD videos were popular some years ago which replaced the VCD format and introduced high quality video format for a CRT TV. DVD videos have a maximum resolution of 480p. 480p videos are good enough to watch if you talk about the video quality. Being an old video format DVD videos can still deliver good quality entertainment on HDTVs too. But DVD videos have a strange format (.vob) which is not cross compatible. You can’t play DVD videos directly on an iPhone, iPad, Android phone except for some HDTVs which support the .vob format.<br />
<br />
To watch DVD videos across multiple devices one should convert them to a compatible format like MP4. MP4 is the default video format of Android devices and is supported by iPhone, iPad, and HDTVs.

<b>Sony PlayStation</b> also known as the PS1, PSONE, PSX was the most popular gaming console in the 1990s. It was later discontinued in the year 2006 but it has over 23 years old legacy that led to the development of many popular gaming consoles today. Well you can't find and buy a real PS1 console today because there development was ceased long ago by Sony.<br />
<br />

➜<b> <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2015/05/epsxe-android-play-sony-ps1-games-on-android.html" target="_blank">ePSXe Android tutorial</a></b><br />
<br />
Both these PS1 emulators for Android are highly compatible with most Android phones and <b>PlayStation Roms</b> ISO games. But there is only one problem with these emulators that prevent Android users from using them. The problem is that these emulators are not free in Google Play store. You have to buy any of these PS1 ISO emulator to enjoy PS1 games on Android. But most Android users don't feel like buying these emulators and end up downloading malicious APKs of these apps. We don't recommend anyone to download Android apps from unknown sources.<br />

Wi-Fi passwords become quite difficult to remember when you are using a couple of Wi-Fi networks to connect your multiple devices. It is crucial that you don't use easily predictable weak Wi-Fi passwords as they can be guessed by anyone. The first step for securing your Wi-Fi is to use a strong password. A strong password may contain special characters, capital letters, or weird strings of words. Initially you may memorize the password but later you will forget it.<br />
<br />
The only way to connect a device to a Wi-Fi network without manually entering the password is to use the router's WPS key. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) key will automatically insert the password in the device which is requesting network access. WPS should be used carefully though. But if your router doesn't support a WPS key then the only way left is to find and retrieve the <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2018/02/how-to-set-wi-fi-as-metered-connection-android.html" target="_blank">saved Wi-Fi</a> password from Windows 10.<br />

It’s virtually impossible to conceive a day without access to Wi-Fi. There is a widespread belief that Internet accessibility is just as necessary as food, water, and the air that we breathe. Given the ubiquity of IoT hardware and software, it’s hard to dispel that notion. Truth be told, life goes on without the Internet albeit at a much slower pace.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="tips to secure public wifi" border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8dO4Ew1ymWo/WyuO__HuDKI/AAAAAAAAIKY/swOoccWC6NQItnmPXBg7oi3sQ5_o-xdWQCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/free%2Bwifi.JPG" title="" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The information we can access on our smartphones, tablets, phablets, PCs and smart devices is leaps and bounds ahead of erstwhile resources like the World Book Encyclopedia, Time Magazine, or the conventional telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell. Today’s technology is the foundation stone upon which tomorrow’s innovation is being built. For that reason, Wi-Fi forms the bedrock of everything that is yet to come. Therein lies the challenge: Safety and security on the World Wide Web.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
What Steps Can You Take to Enhance the Security of Your Public Internet Connectivity?</h2>
Everybody knows about basic steps that can be taken to improve your safety and security when using public Wi-Fi connections. For example, if you must use public Wi-Fi, try and sit with your back against the wall so that nobody else can read over your shoulder. The last thing you want is somebody seeing your username/password information, and logging in pretending to be you. Identity theft is a big problem, and sometimes people don’t recover from the damage that is caused.<br />
<br />
It is probably best never to log into your online bank account in a <a href="https://lifehacker.com/top-10-ways-to-stay-safe-on-public-wi-fi-networks-1791800347" target="_blank">public place</a> when Wi-Fi is unencrypted. There are simply too many bad actors operating in cyberspace for you to attempt such a foolhardy move. Certain public Wi-Fi spots offer passwords to users, and this is a little safer than no password access although still ill-advised for personal transactions.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
➜ Steps to Guard Your Wi-Fi Against Malicious Activities</h2>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Update Windows/Mac Regularly</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether you’re running Windows or Mac, be sure to update your software and always stay updated. Part of the reason there are software updates, to begin with, is that new and improved code is being written to patch vulnerabilities in the software. Whenever you get a prompt to update your software – do it, don’t delay. Just make sure that automatic updates are enabled. If this option is enabled then updates will be auto-installed on your Mac or Windows PC.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Change Network Sharing Settings</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
Your Internet settings allow you to choose between public and private networks. Within this arena, there are things known as resource sharing (Wi-Fi printers, cloud accessibility etc.). You don’t want to turn on file and printer sharing, and to turn on network discovery when you’re using a public Wi-Fi network. From your control panel on Windows PCs or other devices simply access the advanced sharing settings and be sure to turn those public profile elements off. If you’re not visible, you can’t be hacked.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Use a Good VPN</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><a href="https://www.bestonlinereviews.com/" target="_blank">Best Online Reviews</a> (a leading review site for online security systems) recommends using a VPN (virtual private network) to mask your computer’s IP address and all traffic flowing from your device. Unsecured networks are as safe as houses when you use a high-quality VPN service. Since nobody knows where the traffic flow is coming from when you use a VPN from your computer, it doesn’t matter whether you are in a public Wi-Fi network or an encrypted Wi-Fi network. The best virtual private networks do not keep logs of customer activity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Use 2-Factor Authentication Wherever Possible</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>If you must use public Wi-Fi and you are going to be conducting personal transactions, ensure that your browser and the security settings you have in place are up to date. If possible, try to access websites that require 2-factor authentication – email and smartphone verification to validate your ID.<br />
If you have antivirus software and firewall protection enabled on your device, keep it active over public Wi-Fi networks. These serve as an additional security barrier against malicious actors.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Check for HTTPS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The web address you use in your browser should begin with HTTPS. The ‘S’ at the end stands for secure and it means that you have a secure web address in your browser. When communications are encrypted, you are at lower risk of being hacked. There are programs that you can install – freeware – that allow you to access secure socket layer websites regardless of the browser you’re using. All popular websites like Facebook, Google, Twitter use https. If you don’t see https in the address bar then it is a fake copy of these popular websites.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Use Your Personal Wi-Fi Hotspot While Traveling</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>Today’s PCs, notebooks, and modern laptops can easily pick up Wi-Fi hotspots. If you have a service contract with an Internet provider, rather use your Wi-Fi hotspot when you’re traveling. It is fully encrypted, and it won’t put any additional strain on your phone or your contract. You’re simply piggybacking off the signal that your phone is receiving from the cell tower.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
It is always better to carry your personal Wi-Fi hotspot with you instead of using free public Wi-Fi connections. However, if a public Wi-Fi offers some sort of security then it is also not advisable to use them blindly. If you want to connect to public Wi-Fi connections safely then use a VPN and good quality antivirus software. These two programs if installed on your computer will make the Wi-Fi connection much safer. A VPN will hide your identity and encrypt your internet traffic while the antivirus will protect your PC from malicious attacks.<br />

Companies and individuals continually strive towards maximum Internet security. Guarding against online threats is a daunting prospect, fraught with challenges. Every time we perfect one security protocol, bad actors find a way to bypass these measures and intercept our personal communications. Antivirus software does a fine job of keeping our online traffic free from adware, malware, Trojans, viruses, and worms. However, once we connect to the Internet we leave a digital footprint that anyone with a little wherewithal can track, intercept and abuse.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="vpn vs proxy" border="0" data-original-height="306" data-original-width="659" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EjLWciQQUzA/WyjhceSkszI/AAAAAAAAIKE/4KepVW4aW8wYKEUvIMgh_4ac_JEyK4sPwCLcBGAs/s1600/proxy%2Bvs%2Bvpn.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="" /></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
This necessitates masking solutions to prevent our online activity from being monitored, recorded, and reported. Several effective tools and resources are available to help guard against data interception. One of these is a <a href="https://hide.me/en/proxy" target="_blank">proxy</a>, and the other is a VPN. On the face of it, both options appear to be identical. They both connect you to a remote computer so that your online browsing activity appears to be going through another server. The truth is, proxies and <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2016/03/expressvpn-for-android-review-protect-identity-android.html" target="_blank">VPNs</a> are significantly different as you’re about to find out!<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Why Would you Need to Hide your Internet browsing Activity?</h2>
There are still many folks who believe that they don’t have anything that a hacker would want anyway – so why bother with a VPN or a proxy for data protection. The sad reality is that every one of us has something that a hacker wants. We all use credit cards, we all have IDs, and we all shop online. For a hacker, these are gold nuggets waiting to be stolen. That’s why it’s important to safeguard your online browsing activity.<br />
<br />
There is way too much leaked data, government interception of our browsing activity, and many other privacy issues to be concerned about. For this reason, VPNs (virtual private networks) and proxies are among the most powerful tools you can use to maintain your anonymity and online safety. Let’s say you’re at the local Starbucks using Wi-Fi. We all know that public Wi-Fi is an accident waiting for a place to happen. There’s no two ways about it. When you use free Internet, anyone within range can intercept your communications and wreak havoc.<br />
<br />
We already established that VPNs and proxies connect you through another location. But it’s the way they connect you and the degree of privacy, functionality and encryption that differs. With a proxy server, you have access to a buffer between you and your Internet browsing activity. Think of it as a middleman. All the sites you are visiting are effectively visited by the middleman. You are cloaked from the bad actors on the Internet. There are many reasons why you may wish to use a proxy server, notably websites that are geographically locked to users from other countries. This is often the case in Asia, and in Europe.<br />
<br />
For example, UK sports streaming news networks may not offer their services to people outside of the UK. To obviate this issue, you can login through a proxy server in the UK and watch the content accordingly. Your traffic looks like it came from the remote computer which is in the UK, and not in your home country. You may wish to consider a proxy for a low-level activity such as streaming video content, accessing restricted sites, or simply overcoming IP-specific content.<br />
<br />
What a proxy server doesn’t do is also the reason it is not ideal for all forms of online browsing activity. For example, proxies do not encrypt Internet traffic between your PC and the proxy. They also don’t remove identifying data for your online transmissions. Another point worth remembering is that there is no security element built into a proxy server.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Why are a Proxy’s Shortcomings Important?</h2>
A nosy neighbour with Internet smarts, hackers, ISP providers, law enforcement, or government can easily intercept traffic that is not encrypted, or secure. Since your identity is not concealed with a proxy server when there are JavaScript or malware elements in your web browser, a proxy server is not ideal.<br />
<br />
With a proxy, your entire PC/system is not protected – it’s an application by application basis that we’re talking about. It’ll work for one process, but not all. There are several common protocols for proxy servers including SOCKS and HTTP. The latter is the most common extension and it is used for web traffic. The former simply moves traffic along regardless of where it comes from. Free proxy servers are ill-advised, since they are riddled with problems.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Why are VPNs The Preferred Option?</h2>
A VPN is a virtual private network. Your entire computer is protected with powerful encryption through the VPN server. Between the <a href="https://www.pcnexus.net/2016/03/how-to-setup-vpn-pptp-l2tp-ipsec-in-android.html" target="_blank">VPN server</a> and the greater Internet, there is no encryption. That’s how a VPN server is set up. It masks as a proxy, since your traffic appears to be coming from a remote server address. However, that is the only similarity between a VPN and a proxy. Take a look at this <a href="https://securethoughts.com/what-is-a-vpn/" target="_blank">VPN Guide</a> to understand exactly what benefits you get to enjoy when you choose a professional VPN pay-to-use service as opposed to a proxy server.<br />
<br />
A VPN is the most secure way for you to browse the Internet. Be advised that VPNs use plenty of bandwidth and processing power since there is significant encryption taking place. The better the VPN service, the more bandwidth it uses and the more you’re going to pay for it. But choosing an unlimited bandwidth VPN plan will save your time and money.<br />
<br />
If you’re just looking to conduct silly activities on the Internet like online voting for a game show, or streaming from out of country, use a proxy. If you want to safeguard all online browsing activity with your entire computer and prevent government and the authorities from accessing your content, you will want a no logs policy VPN provider.<br />

Currently, there is no way to fix this issue. The company has been notified of this issue. They are working on it and say that this happened due to unusual traffic to Instagram servers. So, this is a server-side crashing issue that has slowly started to fix itself.<br />
<br />
When an <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2018/04/mi-power-bank-2i-10000mah-review-best.html" target="_blank">Android</a> app keeps crashing then it is advised to clean its data or reinstall it from Google Play Store. But in this case clearing the app cache, data, and even reinstalling the app doesn't fix the crashing issue. So finally, we can only wait until the problem gets fixed by Instagram.<br />
<br />
However, there is a way to fix this. You need to install and uninstall the app three or four times. After every install sign-in to your Instagram account. Then uninstall the app then reinstall it and sign in again, do this three or four times. In most cases, the Instagram app crashing issue will be fixed. If it doesn't work for you then try the alternative below.<br />

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>When the app gets cloned open it and sign-in to your account.</li>

Moto G4 Plus has just received a new April 2018 security patch update with build number <b>NPJS25.93-14-18</b>. This update fixes Android security vulnerabilities up to April 1st, 2018. It doesn't bring any performance enhancements. So if you have got a notification on your Moto G4 Plus then update it. If you haven't received the OTA then you know where to check it. Just check the '<b>About phone>System updates</b>'. The update is just 40.8 MB in size and takes 10 minutes to install. Make sure your phone's battery is charged to 60 percent at least.<br />

Last year in September 2017, Motorola announced that Moto G4 Plus will be getting android 8.0 Oreo update via a <a href="http://www.pcnexus.net/2017/09/moto-g4-plus-will-soon-be-getting-android-oreo-update.html" target="_blank">blog post</a>. But it hasn't happened yet and that official statements is about 8 months old now. So I am sure about this that Moto G4 Plus won't be getting Android 8.0 Oreo update. Because on June 4, 2018 Moto G6 will be launched and the company may shift its interest from a two year old budget smartphone to the newly launched smartphone.<br />

So, if you are waiting for Android 8.0 update for Moto G4 Plus then your wait may go in vain. As there is no guarantee that the phone will receive its final major Android OS update. Till the time you can keep updating your phone with security patch updates.<br />
