Windows Defender Windows Defender is Microsoft’s proprietary anti-malware tool that is used in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 by default. At the time of its creation, it used to be rather cropped and ineffective, which caused an outpouring of criticism. However, it has been seriously improved since then, so in 2019, it has much to be loved for. Especially, because it became one of the best free Antivirus in its segment. As of today, it is a full-featured antivirus product that provides strong malware protection and some useful extras.

When nodes on a network are connected through a hub, the entire network acts as a single collision domain. Partitioning a single network can help relieve network congestion and increase security If you work inside a large organisation or business, particularly one spread across multiple branches, it's highly likely that it deploys a subnet. A subnetting, or subnetworking, is the process of splitting a single large network into two or more strands. This means that an otherwise mammoth and unwieldy network can be subdivided into smaller, more localised networks. First, a look at IP addresses IP addresses are comprised of a 32-bit number with values ranging from zero to 4294967295, split into four octets. In order for it to be...

The transmit jack on the tester maybe be labeled "TX".   3.Plug the other end of the cable into the receiver jack.The receiver jack may be labeled "RX" on the device. Some testers have a detachable receiver you can use to test the cable across different rooms. 4 . Check the lights on the tester. Most testers will have 2 sets of 8 LED lights that correspond to the 8 pins on the transmitting and receiving end of the Ethernet cable. There will also be a G light for the ground. It will test each pin one at a time. If all 8 pins light up on both ends, the cable is good. If any of the lights do not light up on either end, this indicates a short in the cable. Don't worry if the G light doesn't light up. If the lights on either end flash out of order, this ...
