  Eighty-five folks attended todays show where we covered a variety of topics. We also devoted a section to predictions for 2021. The security predictions unfortunately, were all gloomy. We all need to be more vigilant next year than we were in 2020. Many changes have occurred in 2020 that have increased the threat vector which will have an increased negative effect on our security. Our dependence on our Security related products will increase in 2021. I'm depending on their ability to be up to the challenge. Avast Free ,  Avast Secure Browser ,  Avast SecureLine ,  Avast Omni
