Ninite - Install multiple free software versions with one click

Don't want to hassle with downloading the latest browser, online storage, messaging and antivirus, and spending forever with installing that software on your PC?

Ninite is an excellent solution for downloading and installing multiple free programs in one single click.

It allows users to make a selection from a list of applications and bundles the selection into a single installer package.

Applications are installed from their respective official websites, ensuring you receive the latest official versions. Any adware that is optional on downloading is ignored and blocked by Ninite, using the option to deselect the adware or suspicious extensions during the installation process.

On the Ninite webpage, you select the software you need by the checkboxes and then click the custom Ninite installer at the bottom of the page.

From there the Ninite installer will download the programs you selected and you're free for other jobs.

One of the biggest benefits of Ninite is it downloads programs from their official websites, automatically checking their digital signatures or hash values to ensure they haven’t been tampered with.

It works entirely in the background, skipping any questions, ignoring prompts to reboot your PC, and automatically installing 64-bit applications on a 64-bit PC. 

Ninite works with Windows 7, 8 and 10

Tech News: How hackers are breaking into Ring security cameras

Hackers have created dedicated software for breaking into Ring security cameras, according to posts on hacking forums reviewed by Motherboard (Tech Site). The camera company is owned by Amazon, which has hundreds of partnerships with police departments around the country.

An incident that occured Wednesday in Desoto County Tennesee, found a mother of an 8 year old extreemly shaken after finding the Ring security camera was hacked into and the hacker spoke through the device's speakers with one of the children.

Local news agency WMC5 shows the video (courtesy of the family) what the hacker would have seen: A view of the entire room from where the camera is installed in a far corner, looking down on their beds and dressers while they play. The hacker is heard playing the song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" through the device's speakers, and when one of the daughters, who is eight years old, stops and asks who's there, the hacker says, "It's Santa. It's your best friend."
Their camera now sits disconnected on their kitchen counter.

Owners of Ring security cameras in Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and Texas have reported incidents where hackers tormented families with racial slurs, encouraged children into destructive behavior and demanded a ransom in Bitcoin.

A few security measures to consider:
Like most IP security cameras, Ring cameras rely on your homes wireless internet connection. However this is easy to hack into as most logins,usernames and passwords are very weak. It's recommended to change the login info to stronger username and passwords.

For increased security make your home Wi-Fi so it's not visible to others. For your security camera apps (which are downloadable to your iPhone or Android phone) ensure Two Factor authorization. This incorporates having the app send a text with a code you enter during the login procedure on the camera app.
