Last night I had the pleasure of doing a remote (ZOOM) interactive presentation for the members of the SCV Computer Club in Santa Clarita Valley, CA The topic for the evening was the CCleaner Browser . We covered a custom install and went through the various settings. We also covered adding a Chrome extension to that browser. The extension added was the Avast Passwords Manager .
