  This evening I spent some ZOOM time with the  WAUC  members in Milwaukee, WI The meeting was a hybrid meeting where most attended in person and some members joined via ZOOM. I had joined early and found out the those attending in person had no internet access at the church they used  for  the meeting place. The suggestion to use a phone as a hotspot solved the problem. After the presentation the members asked questions on the following topics: Identifying spam emails and  marking them as such so the wind up in the Spam folder not the In-box, what does  Avast's Smart Scan  check. I was also asked if there was a way to check a website to see if might be malicious. There are websites that actually do that service by seeing if the website is currently considered malicious  by many AV programs.  Virus Total  and  URLVoid  are just two of those types of websites.
