Apple to end support for Quicktime on Windows, time to uninstall

If there's one thing you need to remember when a company decides to end support for a product, you would need to move on to a different one. Ending support means said product would be left vulnerable to attacks by hackers. And that's what both Trend Micro and the US Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team wants to remind Windows PC users still running Quicktime. Apple will be ending support for the Windows version, meaning security updates won't be heading the way of that product soon. Also, the security firm found two "critical vulnerabilities" that could give hackers an even easier access to your PC.

Google Drive lets you selectively sync subfolders

Google Drive's latest update might be considered a small one but it introduces a useful feature. You can now sync subfolders on Windows and Mac. Previously, you could only do so with top-level folders (e.g. music folder) but not with the folders within these. This gives you greater control over how much data your Google Drive files take up on your computer or how much stays on Google's servers. 

Another new feature is if you delete a folder that has shared files, it'll cut off access to other users. You'll be warned by the app if this happens and allows you to undo the action.

Microsoft said to back up your Windows encryption keys on the cloud

The cloud is a useful place to store various files. But it’s probably not the safest place to store really important data, like the encryption key to your Windows PC. Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to be storing this online. So, what should you do about this? Head to the OneDrive Recovery Key site and log into your Microsoft account. If you find your key there, back it up somewhere like a flash drive that you will keep safe and then delete it from the site. Make sure it’s in a physically safe location that no one you don’t trust can get to.
