( Click here to see all the Photos ) It's always a pretty trip from Los Lunas NM to Show Low AZ via US Rt 60. Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing a presentation for the members of the Venture In Computer Club in Show Low AZ. As you can see, they turned out in force (68 Attendees) despite the thunderstorm.

Hope this makes downloading, installing and using Avast Browser Cleanup easy for everyone.

87 Members of the club attended this afternoons lively and interesting presentation. The presentation was followed by an extensive Q&A session. The following are three questions that were submitted in writing before the presentation started. I’ll also include my answers to these questions. 1. Should I have Avast for my Android Smartphone ? If yes, Why ? Short Answer: Yes! Long Answer: There are currently over 33M infected android devices. I'm sure you would prefer not to be one of the 33 Million. Using Avast Mobile Security ( https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-mobile-security) can scan and remove any infections you may currently have and, prevent you from catching new Malware. 2. I like Avast but how can I stop it from asking for an Upgrade ? I just want it to do it's job. Short Answer: Buy one of the paid version and you'll stop the upgrade request for the duration of the license term that you purchased! Long Answer: Select the Silent Gaming Mode option which will pr...

Safety just because you’re using an Apple product is a myth that needs to be revised. Since the product has become more popular, it’s also become more profitable for those that make their living from infecting Computer, Laptops, Smart Phones and Tablets to infect Apple products. Here is just one example of the ever increasing security flaws which should make all Mac users more suspicious and take security for their devices to heart: http://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/serious-zero-day-security-flaw-ios-osx-password-theft/ Stay Safe, Be Free.

This evening I'll be doing a Remote Presentation for those attending the meeting of the LACS They meet at 8065 Emerson Ave Los Angeles Ca. If you're in the area, why not joint them. Just tell them Bob G. sent you. Approximately 40 Members and Guests of the Los Angeles Computer Society attended this remote presentation. Even with a few audio glitches, the presentation was well received and was followed by a long Q&A session. Hopefully next year I'll visit LACS in person and let them find out how much nicer a live presentation is. Thanks to Maurice Stephenson and Jim McKnight for their help in making sure the remote event was a success.
