  I spent a part of yesterday evening  with the members of the  GGCS . The presentation was well received and the main discussion after the presentation centered around  Avast SecureLine . There was also a question about installing a third party AV if Microsoft Defender is already running. I wish all questions were this easy to answer. Defender shuts down when you install  Avast One or any other third party Antivirus software.

Another well attended  show  where we discussed the following topics, Significant cybersecurity events that happened since last week, why USB-C isn't yet universal, Malwarebytes free and premium, yes or no?, Avast acquiring Digital Trust  and why its's important, the difference between an APP and a PWA, the final segment was our weekly musical segment. There was a Q&A session where many topics were discussed to end the show.  

  I was happy to do  my presentation  this AM with the members of  CIPCUG This was a hybrid meeting with some members attending in person and some joining us via Zoom as I did. It was a very enjoyable meeting where hopefully every one learned something. In the Q&A that followed the presentation I was asked some questions about  Avast SecureLine  and we also had a discussion about the current Cyber Security landscape. The jokes at the end of the presentation were appreciated and, brought some smiles to the faces of those that attended.

Maybe it's time to boycott those companies that put profit ahead of decency?  STOP FUNDING THE KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.

https://youtu.be/EbyrQLeR7_g Digital trust is a critical part of a next-generation consumer cybersecurity offering and today we announced that SecureKey has become part of Avast to help us realize the vision of a global and reusable digital identity framework, which will underpin a new trust layer for the internet.

  Today I remotely visited the folks at the  Glendora Senior Computer Club It was a very enjoyable afternoon and, after the presentations there were quite a few question. We discussed  SecureLine  and VPN's, Spam and phishing attacks, the  Avast Secure Browser ,  Avast protection for computers and mobile devices, and several other topics.

  This afternoon I had the pleasure of addressing the members of  Let's Compute  in Sun City Palm Desert. CA It was an enjoyable afternoon and would have been nicer if I had been there in person. After the presentation we had a long discussing and some suggestions regarding a phishing scam perpetrated on a club member. The information about the scam and the suggestions offered should help others that run into that scam and similar ones. We also spent some time discussing how Pass Word Managers work. There was also a discussion about the upcoming NortonLifeLock - Avast merger.

Today we covered the following topic, Cybersecurity Update, Tax season and Emotet, HDMI cables and ports demystified, Secret windows features, How to see your WIFI password. Ray did his music sequence and we ended the show with a Q@A session devoted to the topics covered during the show. Season three of  TFS  starts next week.

  I was happy to again do a presentation for for the members of the  Seniors Computer Group . We all had some fun and I'm sure the members learned quite a bit. I had quite a few questions after the presentation about  Ccleaner . https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds

  https://youtu.be/m4ONgmR8YxY A rundown of cyber threats emerging from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://blog.avast.com/cyber-threats-and-the-ukraine-conflict-avast Cyber threats usually inflict a financial toll which is terrible and needs to end. The unprovoked attack on the people of Ukraine is killing innocent men, women, children, and animals. It’s reducing the cities to rubble and destroying a people's way of life. This must stop and it must stop NOW.

  Last night's presentation was for a very small group of technology users  who were very interested in the presentations topic. The presentation was followed by a Q@A session where various topics were brought up. This was never a large group but COVID-19 has definitely had a negative impact on their membership.

  This afternoons remote presentation was for the folk in  Leisure World, Seal Beach CA . I would much rather have done this presentation in person. It was a small but very attentive audience. I had some questions after the presentation on  Avast One and  Avast SecureLine .

  In today's show we covered the following topics, Security News Update, Fixing your Task Bar, USB-A to USB-C – A Deep Dive Dewey, New Media Player for Windows 11, What's in the TFS Newsletter? Some toe tapping music ended the show before we wound things up with the usual Q & A Session that always follows the show. You may have noticed that I was a bit handicapped for todays show. Things will be back to normal for next week.

  This afternoon I did a hybrid presentation for the  SCUG  in Sterling, IL. This was a hands on presentation explaining the many tools built into  CCleaner . Questions were asked and answered as they came up. After this presentation, I usually hear the same thing, "I didn't know  Ccleaner  could do all of that. I just thought it cleaned up junk" I'm sure quite a few folks are using  Ccleaner  for more than basic cleaning. https://www.ccleaner.com/

  Now I know this is a scam and probably a phishing attempt. Considering the high prices of food and gas, there are many who look at this and say "Oh good, I can use a helping hand." They may very well be tempted to click on that tempting link to         Check what you won Don't do it regardless of how much help you may need. This will only make things worse not better. Do what I did with this email,  Report it as SPAM
