  I spent part of this evening with the members of  BCUG . This was my final presentation for October wich is known as Cyber Security Awareness Month . During the QQ&A session that followed the opresentation,I answered question about Avast Omni, the  Norton/Lifelock and Avast merger , Windows built in firewall, and  Avast One .

  I spent part of my morning with the members of  CCOKC  in Oklahoma City, OK We spent a bit of time socializing before the meeting started. I'm actually an honorary member of this club. A Q&A session followed the presentation in which we talked about Avast One , VPN's and  SecureLine . This was a hybrid meeting where most of the attendees  joined via Zoom and the rest met in person at the clubs regular meeting place.

  I spent this afternoon in a very enjoyable meeting with the members of  GSCC . We had a nice Q&A session after the presentation where we discussed password managers, Avast One  and  Avast Free ,  VPN 's, email security, how to  prevent getting hacked , and what to do if you've gotten hacked .

  This evening's presentation was for the members of  PPCUG-NJ During the Q&A session that followed the meeting, I received question about installing  Avast One , app security, email security, the increase in junk mail, and sandboxing.

  I spent part of my afternoon with the members of a Bit & Bytes in Oklahoma Judging by the attentiveness, they must have found it interesting. My jokes also received quite a bit of laughter. Avast One .

  This for me is always a great way to start the work-week. A very interested audience listened to the topics we covered today. Security news updates, differences between Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, an update on the Galaxy 4 Watch features, the Starlink report and update, and we ended the show with some toe-tapping music. A Q&A session followed the show.

  This was a  small club  but they had quite a few questions mainly about  Avast One  and the upcoming merger.

The best protection is prevention. This shows you how.

  I spent this evening in Eri, PA (virtually) with the members of  CUE . It was a well received presentation and was followed by quite a few questions. We spent some time discussing the upcoming merger.  I was also able to share some hands on information about Windows 11 with the members.

  Todays second presentation for for the members of  PCBUG . The presentation was well received. A Q&A followed the presentation. We talked about  Avast One  and had an extensive discussion about Windows 11. I also took some questions about the upcoming Norton/Lifelock and Avast merger.

  This afternoons presentation was for a  small club in Florida . It was a hybrid meeting. Most attended in person and some joined via Zoom. It was actually a blessing that this was a small group since they could only listen to the audio via the laptop. The video portion was displayed on a large monitor.

  This evening, I was happy to do my presentation for the members of a  club in Columbus, OH  It was evening for them and late afternoon for me. It was a small group and after the presentation, we talked about password managers and general system and internet security.

  I spent the latter part of this morning with the members of the  SVE Computer Club . This was a hybred meeting. The majority of those attending met in person and some members  joined via Zoom. The meeting was a bit delayed since I had the wrong Zoom link and,  it took a while before I heard back from the club. All's well that ends well. It was an enjoyable meeting and I must have answered most of their questions with the  information contained in the presentation since there was only one question after the show. That question was about Avast One Enterprise and pertained to changing from the free version  of Avast to the free version of  Avast One .

  A great way to start a Monday. another excellent and feature packed show. We covered the latest cyber security news, Android Auto, USB and other remote connectors,  surge protectors and uninterruptible  power supplies, and some additional topics.  The show ended with a lively Q&A session.

  I spent this afternoon with the members of  ECOTUC  in Newark, OH I'm actually a member of this club so I paid particular attention to this presentation. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session where the members asked about Avast One ,  SecureLine , and Password managers.

  This afternoon I visited with the  folks in Prescott, AZ . As always, it was an enjoyable meeting. I did my presentation during the first hour and Phil Ball did his presentation during the second hour. There were quite a few questions after my presentation mostly about Avast One Essential. One member even install  Essential on this android device while we were discussing the product. He was very happy with the added features and the simple user interface.

  Todays fourth presentation was for the members of UCHUG.  https://www.uchug.org/ Only via Zoom can you start out in the morning in AZ, follow that up a 2 1/2 hrs. later in Florida then 3 hrs later do a presentation in VA and end the evening in San Diego, CA. Covering that great a distance in one day is only possible remotely. I have to admit that even remotely, 4 presentations in one day are still tiring. It's always great to spend time with the members of UCHUG and I'm happy they extended  the invitation. I'll probably be back with them next month as a guest. The Q&A session lasted longer than the presentation. We discussed WiFi repair,  Avast Secureline  vs free VPN's  Avast One , and  Avast OMNI . We also spent some time discussing  Avast's HackCheck  and the importance of using a Password Manager. The Q&A session finally ended at 10:00 PM (MT). Tomorrow's presentation starts at 7:30 AM (MT).

  Todays third presentation was for the members of  PATACS A very knowledgeable and very active club. In the Q&A Session that followed the presentation I explained a bit more  about  Avast One

  Today's second presentation was for the members of  Highland Computer Club . This is a small club but they asked a lot of question following the presentation. These questions included what is a sandbox, why use a  VPN , does avast protect  iOS devices  and, how does  OMNI  work. It was an interesting meeting.

  This is the first of 4 presentation I'll be doing today. It was nice to visit with the members of the Computer Booters today. It's been a few years since I 'visited' this club even if it was only remotely. After the presentation, I had some questions on the price of Avast  OMNI  and the Family plan of  Avast One .

  This mornings hybrid meeting was for the  Victoria Computer Club . As you can see from the image, some attended in person and a few joined via Zoom. Judging by the interaction and Q&A participation, the presentation was well received. During the Q&A sessions, I answered some questions about e-mail etiquette and security. We also talked about VPN usage and avast OMNI which unfortunately still isn't available in Canada.

Today my age and the number of episodes we've done are a match. Another information packed show. Cyber security, product repair, part two of Screen and Font Size adjustments, using Edge to create a user friendly URL, how to post articles on Facebook and we ended with some music nostalgia. A twenty minute Q&A followed the show.

The context menu is usually used to do something special with a file or a Folder. In Windows 11, you now get a  condensed listing  of the possible file interactions available. That context menu is usually limited to the  most used functions . If you need access to anything outside of those most used functions, you'll need to select ' Show more options ' Since those most used functions don't include possible actions available via third party apps. It's a pain to always have to use that extra step of selecting ' Show more options ' in order to get to your function provided by the third party app. There is a native way around this annoyance . Instead of using the right click option on the selected file or folder, use the shortcut keys of  Shift + F10  and the full Context menu will display.

  This evenings presentation for the members of the  PC Community was the first  of 28 presentations that I will be doing this month. October is  Cyber Security Awareness Month . I'm doing my part to spread that message. It was a good meeting. Zoom makes it possible to bring the information even to smaller clubs. The meeting was followed by a  productive Q&A session.
