We'll need to stop somewhere in Arizona and will arrive on June 1st.

Thanks, we plan too.

While stopping for the night in Herber, AZ I spotted a family of deer on the mountain
close to the motel.

I was in the San Diego area Wednesday and Thursday. If I had known about this, I would have stayed an extra day, and checked it out, and would have loved the opportunity to meet you and Alice.

This is actually the second time I was close to an avast! "function". I was in Frankfurt (working), when all of you people were in Prague visiting the avast! facilities. I had this wild idea of stopping in for a drink at the last minute, but, the 200 +/- miles were a bit much to schedule around.

Avast! should be highly grateful to you for your time, and personal commitment to their products. Thanks for posting the pictures, and conference information. Very interesting.

I have a couple of projects on the books for October, but, I'll keep the LA area in mind specifically, for second week of October, and if I can work it out, I'll find you...
Title: Re: South West Computer Conference
Post by: OrangeCrate on June 07, 2011, 08:29:24 PM
I tried to change a couple of things for October, to accommodate a west coast trip, but alas, no luck. We'll have to get together some other time.

Edit:

I'm sure you'll be posting future events on the forums, and I'll make it a point to visit here more often, to keep up with where and what you're doing...

47 very appreciative computer users where in attendance this morning.
I was there for about 1 3/4 hours for the presentation and lots of questions.
I had more avast users in this audience than I usually have which is a good sign. :)

29 members of the NASAC (http://www.nasac.org/) in Xenia OH learning more about “Protecting Yourself and Your Identity Online” last night.
It was a very lively meeting with many questions by a very interested audience.

Last nights presentation had a fairly sparse attendance with only 19 members of the
Canton Alliance Massillon Users Group (http://camug.apcug.org/) in attendance.
I had mother nature to contend with last night and I think she won.  ;D
About 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the seminar, the sky opened up,
lightning started to flash at very short intervals and the thunder seemed to come faster
than the lightning.
The members in attendance apologized for the sparse attendance but told me that they would
pass the information on to the rest of the members and, we should be getting quite a few new
avast! converts.  :)

In the morning I'm leaving for Norwalk Connecticut as the start for some presentations to the members of APCUG Region 1 Clubs.
The Danbury Area Computer Society (http://www.dacs.org/) is one of those Clubs. Their announcement of my Aug 2, 2011 appearance
pretty well spells out the mission of my seminars.
Hope some of you are able to attend.

For give me for being uneducated, but is there some sort of online schedule of these presentations, or are you just posting them here as they come about?

If they (avast) don't have a schedule online, wouldn't it be a good idea to put them on a calendar somewhere so people could see the dates that the seminars would be scheduled near them so they could possibly schedule visiting one of them?

Just me thinking out loud...

There is no schedule from Avast. I post them as I book them.
I can list the upcoming ones already scheduled if that's of help to anyone.

Then maybe you should get rid of Adblock. :) or, change the rules as to what it blocks.

(Apparently it's blocking content from Evernote.)

Yes, there is nothing in the adblock plus rules/filters and I even set an exception for https://mail.google.com/mail/* and still no images and I don't even get any red X.

Post by: bob3160 on July 26, 2011, 09:09:02 PM
Can't you selectively disable the app ???
I don't use it but the pictures in question are from Evernote. Maybe Adblocker needs to become a little smarter.  ;D

The following where of the same pictures in the Evernote App. but in full size and then captured and stored using
Jet Screenshot (http://www.jetscreenshot.com/).

@ bob3160
Selectively disabling the app as you call it doesn't work as Craig mentioned and as I mentioned there was no blockable entry for the images you had in the post. I even created an exception  and still no difference and even with selecting disable on this page only still no image display and no Red X in my case.

The above images are displayed just fine but the url is completely different hxxp://my.jetscreenshot.com/2701/20110726-8di0-211kb to the other url https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=ad3df3c036&view=att&th=1316794af38a2d00&attid=0.1&disp=thd&realattid=f_gql5yri20&zw, I suspect it is all this redirection that is the cause of the problem and probably with NoScript rather than adblockplus.

The redirect is something that's necessary since the information comes directly from within an email I sent to a friend.
One of the nice features of Evernote. And your probably right about NoScript.
Maybe you could recheck using the Chrome browser (which is what I'm using) and see if it allows you to view the pictures in both posts.

Post by: Hard_ROCKER on July 26, 2011, 09:31:54 PM
Those pics simply won't display, AdBlock disabled or even trying to view them with IE9, they won't display. So AdBlock has nothing to do with that i suspect.

EDIT: NoScript not installed over here.

I can't either but I'm sure it's not a related item.

Mine probably has to do with the way sharing rights are setup in Evernote and since I'm the owner,
I have no problem seeing the pictures but that's not the case for the rest of you.  :'(

35 members of the Connecticut PC Users Group (http://www.ctpc.org/previewmain.htm) attended last night Security Seminar which was held at the Silver Star Diner (http://www.facebook.com/silverstardiner).
It was an excellent meeting with an interested crowd. If I had only known that Pizza followed the meeting,
I wouldn't have rushed to have a bite to eat before the meeting.  :'(
Coffee, (Decaff) conversation, and, questions and answers after the meeting still made for a very interesting evening.

The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 7/28/2011 at the TPCUG (http://tpcug-ct.org/contents.html) at 7:00 PM
Will you be there ???

I flew to Connecticut and rented a car there. I'll be traveling to the rest of the current appointments
scheduled here in the northeast by car.
The next presentation will be help at the Brentwood Public Library in Brentwood L.I. NY (http://events.longislandpress.com/localevents/event//3738-ICON-PC-User-Group-Presents-Protecting-Yourself-and-Your-Identity-Online)
for the ICON PC User Group at 7:00 PM.
For me this is like a homecoming trip since all four of my girls are graduates of the Brentwood Public School System.  :)

On Monday (11/14/2011) I'm the guest speaker at the Bosque Farms Community Center (http://bosquefarmsnm.gov/comm_ctr.html)//
This will be a combined meeting of the Community and Senior Center and,
will be a little different than usual format since this presentation is for Computer Users
but not a Computer Club. It is billed as a Computer Safety Seminar (https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbosquefarmsnm.gov%2FComm_Ctr%2FActivities_November_2011.pdf).

19 members of the Bosque Farms Community Center stayed for the presentation on
"Protecting Yourself and Your Identity Online" after filling their bellies with some good food.
The presentation including many questions and lasted about two hours.
It's always nice when the audience asks a lot of questions.
I know they are interested and I also know they aren't sleeping.  ;D ;D

I've always been taught that self praise is something you avoid for obvious reasons.
When it's received from someone else and totally unexpectedly, it's always nice. :)

It's also a nice endorsement of Avast Software and avast! Anti Virus Software in particular.

The first year of this great adventure is over.

Here are some of the statistics:

If you've kept up with the pictures, you would have notices they cover
this great country from one ocean to the other.  :)
I did a total of 66 presentations during the past year.
My overall audience totaled 3132.
I can't tell you how many of those 3100+ people are currently using avast!
I certainly hope that many of them have converted and I am sure that most of
those attending the Presentation are a little more conscious of their computer security.

Make sure you know your lifeboat stations, keep a bag packed at all times. Seems we have some captains sailing too close to shore resulting in a massive tragedy on a relatively new Cruise Liner.

I returned home last night from the APCUG Technology Conference at Sea.
The presentation itself was attended by 87 people which represented the smallest part of the avast! exposure to those sailing on the Sky
and those that where a part of the FACUG Technology Cruise.
I spoke to literally hundreds of people many of them just other people enjoying the cruise.
The screen cleaner present enclosed in the "Welcome Aboard" bag was asked about at almost all of the presentations that I personally attended.
When asked what it was, I simply said it's a little tool to clean your screen.
Use it in conjunction with avast! Antivirus and you'll have a Totally Clean Computer.

you'll see that it will be a busy but very enjoyable month.

I'll be posting pictures and information about the various Computer Clubs I visit. If you check the actual schedule (http://azacc.org/PDFs/March%202012%20Calendar.pdf), this Thread

Hello Darth,
It's nice to know that someone who attended a seminar also took the advice to join the Forum.
I enjoyed my visit to Brentwood and especially the dinner afterwards at the Peter Pan Diner.
Diane Fahlbusch the president of the Icon PC Users Group (http://www.iconpcug.org/) was a very gracious host and it was nice to learn that she is now an avast! user
as she indicated in her review of avast! called Avast Making The Switch (https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=gmail&attid=0.2&thid=133c2b96d83dbade&mt=application/msword&url=https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui%3D2%26ik%3Dad3df3c036%26view%3Datt%26th%3D133c2b96d83dbade%26attid%3D0.2%26disp%3Dsafe%26zw&sig=AHIEtbQhjHTOMViNFPdw-88oTtpYgFuq9g).
I was also very happy that she took the time to evaluate my presentation (https://docs.google.com/open?id=11rziUiZAWAZEPkzOYksNdPr6U_Yqr3LUWSj2m6Z1pxxefqmRgkTGX6C8nAj-) and pass that information on to Avast.
I hope to return to my old stomping grounds again.
You'll hear about it in here if that happens.  :)

It would have been nice since yesterday was our 52 wedding anniversary.
Right now it's all business. Lot's of presentations and she would be stuck in the motel.
She also has a bowling tournament coming up in 2 weeks.
She will be joining me later on in the month for a Computer Technology Conference (http://www.comptechconf.com/).

This morning, I visited the Paradise Computer Club (http://paradisecomputerclub.org/) in Sun City, Arizona.
87 very interested Members and gusts attended the meeting.
Quite a few had already converted to avast! because of last years visit.
The converts where a great asset in making sure that this presentation converts many  more.
There are many who are waiting for the email with conversion instructions so they can install avast!7.

My Son-in law and daughter took me out to the Phoenix International Racetrack for a NASCAR Race. I had a great time but suffer from some hearing loos.
I've never heard anything as loud as the race before in all  my life.

Yesterday afternoon 22 members of the Sunland Village Computer Club (http://www.svecc.com/) watched the presentation.
Probably not a large audience but certainly very interested in the topic. ??? ??? They asked many questions. ??? ???
 We also spent some time on discussing the Windows 8 Public Beta release and how well avast! 7 (http://www.avast.com/pr-avast-software-the-new-avast-7-free-antivirus-is-here) works to protect the new Operating System.

12 members of the Arizona Society for Computer Information Inc (ASCIi) (http://asciiug.blogspot.com/) in Phoenix, AZ hosted todays presentation on
Protecting Yourself and Your Identity Online (http://bob3160.blogspot.com/). Unlike the other clubs, the members of this club are all
very computer savy people and even include a Microsoft MVP. I'm happy to say that none of them fell asleep during the presentation and, no one left early.
After the presentation, I was given some hands on pointers in doing a remote presentation using Skype.

Tuesday March 13, 2012 was another busy day with three presentations scheduled for that day.
In the morning, I visited Sun Village Computer Club in Surprise, AZ where 32 Members watched
and participated in the presentation.

In the afternoon, 235 members of the Computers West Group (http://www.computerswest.org/) in Sun City West, AZ
attended a very lively presentation which was followed by many questions and answers.

During every presentations, there are always quite a few of the Android smart phone and tablet users that install the
avast! Free Mobile Security Application while it's being discussed. I guess you could classify that as "Instant Gratification!"

Aside from the good work that you are doing, it is a surprise to me at just how many local computer clubs that there are in the USA. Not just computer clubs, but Seniors computer clubs and well supported as well.

In the UK they are as rare as hens teeth, that said a quick search does turn up quite a few.

There are certain parts of this country where Computer Clubs still thrive. As you can see from the pictures, they are mostly used and
attended by us "Older Statesmen".
I still don't consider this work but a pleasure. I have to admit, the last three days have been a bit taxing.  :)
For the next 3 days I get a break and so will all of you. Only 2 presentations per day for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  ;D

The afternoon presentation happened at Happy Trails Computer Club in Surprise, AZ. 34 Members and Guests attended.
I was told most members usually leave if the presentation lasts longer than 1 hr. This one took 1 1/4 Hrs to complete and,
then they all stayed for a question and answer period after the presentation. More installs of the Mobile App.

On 3/16/2012 I visited the El Mirage Computer Club in Mesa, AZ and the Four Parks Computer Club in Florence, AZ
In Mesa, 17 members attended this small but lively meeting. Lots of questions where asked and answered.
In Florence, only 12 people attended but, I was told that was pretty good. Unfortunately this is probably the clubs last year due to declining attendance.


Sorry, no photos.  My own fault for not charging the battery. More pictures on St. Patrick's Day!

64 Members and Guests of the Computer Club of Green Valley (http://www.ccgvaz.org/index.html) came to the presentation today.
You guessed it, it's located in Green Valley AZ. I was told that this was the most informative presentation
they've had this season.
(Either this one was pretty interesting or, it doesn't speak much for all the others....)

03-22-2012 - 3-25-2012 Computer Technology Conference (http://www.comptechconf.com/) held at the Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino in Scottsdale AZ.
The presentation was viewed by 37 people. I had contact at the Conference itself with well over 100 people. On 3/24/2012
there was a Vendors Expo and as you can see in some of these pictures, Avast was represented and well received.
I personally helped quite a few people change over to avast!7 Free during those 3 days and there where also countless
installs of the avast! Free Mobile Security Application during that time frame.

On 3/28/2012 I was at the Golden Vista Computer Club (http://www.gvrv.us/ComputerClub.htm) in Apache Junction, AZ.
This was the final presentation for me in AZ on this Month long adventure.
66 members and guests listened to the presentation which was followed by a question and answer session.   
I'm currently working with one of the members who ran into an update problem which should be resolved shortly.

On 4/14/2012 I had my last presentation on this trip before the  WINdows usERS CUG (http://www.windowsusers.org/) in Fountain Valley, CA.
32 Members attended the presentation.The questions and answers over lunch where a great addition to this meeting.

Unfortunately I
wasn't able to get any pictures. I'm actually lucky that I made it to this meeting at all.
My original information had this meeting set for 1PM. I only found out at 10:00 AM,by going to their website, that the meeting actually starts at 10:00 AM

I got very lucky. I made it to the meeting place in 20 minutes.  That was excellent time. We are talking about Los Angels.....

I was greeted by some happy and smiling faces. The meeting finished within the time frame allotted and just in time for me to be invited to join the group for lunch.

Lunch consisted of some excellent  food and even better conversation.

[
One week from tomorrow, I'll be back in California for an additional 5 presentations.

Not to mention the ordeal of just boarding the plane.   But have to admit, for a volunteer job for a retiree, perks don't get much better than all the travel you get.....well, until they send you to somewhere like Minnesota in January.  ;D

The worst part of any flight is the ordeal of the security scan you have to go through each and every time you leave on a  trip.  :'(


Iowa in May should be pretty nice.... :)

Dear Bob,

You were in AZ last month and we didn't get together )-:

However, we have discussed the seminars before, I did them for many years mostly to schools in AZ and the Pima County folks.  I used to co-chair our local chapter of the NIPC, so I have a lot of great stories about Organized Crime and Terrorism attacking financial institutions.

on "Protecting Yourself, Your Computer and, Your Identity (http://bob3160.blogspot.com/)".
This was a fairly small but very inquisitive group. I was glad to see that they asked many questions.
We'll also see some new installs from some of this clubs members of the new avast! Free for Mac (http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-mac) version
which was just released.

Tomorrow morning I'll be at the Channel Islands PC Users Group (http://www.cipcug.org/programs.cfm) in Camarillo, CA

85 Members of the Channel Islands PC Users Group (http://www.cipcug.org/)Camarillo, CA attended this mornings presentation.
There where lot's of questions and a great interest in converting to both avast! 7 (http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download) and the
avast! Free Mobile Security Suite (http://www.avast.com/free-mobile-security).
I even managed to wet some Mac users appetites to get avast! 7 Mac (http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-mac) edition.

The presentations where viewed by a total of 470 members of the various clubs.

On 5/5/2012 there were 28 attendees at the remote presentation held by the APCUG (http://apcug.net/).
I've also gained valuable insight and experience from this, my first, remote presentation
which will make all future remote presentations easier.
The only thing I missed was the person to person contact that is missing in this format.
Remote presentation are however great for making presentations available to
clubs of all types who are just to far removed and, without this venue would never
have the opportunity to view the presentation. Through this venue, they have the opportunity to
learn of  (http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/bob3160-1409979-protecting-yourself/)the valuable security related information contained in that presentation (http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/bob3160-1409979-protecting-yourself/).
They would also not learn about avast! (http://www.avast.com/en-us/index)'s ability to keep their system safe without the use of a remote presentation.

75 members and guests of the Quad Cities Computer Society (http://www.qcs.org/) attended the 5/7/2012 presentation.
It was an excellent evening. The presentation was followed by a lively and fairly extensive Q&A session.
There was a lot of interest in avast! for all platforms and some disappointment that Avast doesn't have a version ready for the iPhone.
I've posted a video on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NK87mnhk_s&list=UUr_7tv1ifz2xRfJo8-_FhVA&index=1&feature=plcp) of the pictures I took on Sunday when I went on a nature walk with the club

24 Members of the Central Iowa Computer User Group (http://ciacug.org/) where present for the 5/8/2012 evening presentation
in Ankeny, IA.
It was a smaller group than last night but they where just as interested.

Very early tomorrow I'll be returning to Chicago to catch my plane for the return trip back home.
I would have left from Des Moines but that would have made this trip cost prohibitive.
It would have added $1200.00 to the cost of this trip simply because the rental car didn't get returned
to the place where it was originally rented from.
I think saving $1200.00 is worth driving an extra 5 1/2 hrs. and an extra tank of gas. IMHO  ;)

57 Members of the TUG in Honolulu Hawaii (http://www.the-tug.org/) attended today's presentation.
The presentation lasted about 1 1/2 hrs because of the excellent questions asked by the club members.
I was very happy to accept a ride back to the hotel from two of the club members.
I'm also glad they made an unexpected stop to allow me to take the following pictures:

This evening I'll be doing my second Webinar. I'll be at home and do a presentation for the members of the CPUsers Group (http://cpusergroup.apcug.org/index.html) in Tarentum PA.
Unfortunately their club doesn't meet in July when I'll be in the area. Where there's a will, there is always a way.

Today I received the pictures from the remote presentation from the CPUsers Group (http://cpusergroup.apcug.org/) which was done on 6/12/2012
along with the following kind words from John Mazur, the clubs President.
If you live in the area, consider joining their Users Group.

"Bob,
Thanks for the follow up email with the links and discount. Demo was very well received by our memebers.
Just for the record we had 38 (35 members 3 guests) total in attendance that night.
I received several comments as to how helpful the demo was to some of the members.
Please do consider doing a demo in the future for our club.
I also look forward to seeing you at the APCUG conference in Ohio in July.
I have attached several pix from that evening.
Thanks again,
Jon Mazur"

It was a fairly small group but they asked many questions and where extremely interested and interesting.
The hardest thing about last night was finding a parking space. San Francisco isn't very car friendly.

I, probably more than some other Evangelist's, feel quite at home in his house.  :)
I was honored to have received this in the early 1970's

What wasn't to nice was a case of food poisoning which I picked up on Friday night.
It's the reason that this was posted this late. It was a bit of a struggle making today's presentation.
This time the old saying about getting of the pot actually applied..... :D :D :D

Some of the members had also attended the
APCUG Regional Computer Conference and said that
they needed more than just on presentation to absorb all the information.
It was a very interesting afternoon with some very interesting people.
Maybe that's why I became an official member of their Computer Society.   :)
I was invited to Supper after the meeting and had something very light.....

7-17-2012 Lehigh Valley Computer Club (https://sites.google.com/site/lvcgsite/Home) in Schnecksville, PA had 37 people in attendance for tonight's presentation.
Their meeting is held at the Lehigh Carbon Community College (http://www.lccc.edu/).

                                        (click image to Enlarge)
The club asked many questions and I was hopefully able to answer all of them to their satisfaction.

7-19-2012 Ohio, Pennsylvania wrap up.
During my one week and a day stay in that part of the country,
avast! was introduced to another 250+ users of the Computer Clubs (http://bob3160.blogspot.com/)
and the visitors of the APCUG/CAMUG Regional Computer Conference (http://apcugcamug2012.eventbrite.com/).

For the National Cyber Security Awareness Month, if approved,
I'll be visiting California:


Here is that Tour laid out on Google Maps:
(http://my.jetscreenshot.com/2701/m_20120722-pkvk-88kb.jpg)
As you can see, I'll be doing a bit of driving. This is planned for the end of Sept. and the first 2 weeks of October.
For those of you in California, pick a Computer Club near you and plan on attending.
I'd be happy to supply any one interested with further details.

The remote Presentation help on 8/8/2012 for the Indian Prairie Computer Club (http://www.facebook.com/IPCCIL) in Hinsdale Ill was attended by 55 of their members.
Here are some of the pictures the club sent back to me.

The presentation was followed by a Q&A session and unfortunately the video I was able to make of that session only contains
the audio from my end. (The answers.) You'll have to use your imagination as to what the questions where.

Joining the club would also give you year around access to a wealth of knowledge.

(http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/delta-plane.jpg)The flight from Albuquerque to Minneapolis was uneventful and so was the flight from
Minneapolis to NY's La Guardia airport until we came to withing 120 miles of NY.
At that point, the pilot informed us that there where some weather delays and we might be delayed
by about 1 hr.
15 minutes later came the next announcement: We're low on fuel and are being diverted to Syracuse NY for
refueling. About 1 1/2 hrs later, we were airborne again and on our way to the original destination.
The landing was smooth as silk at La Guardia. Unfortunately they didn't have a gate available and we sat on the tarmac
for some time. Once they finally assigned us a gate, and we pulled up to the Jetway, we where told that the Jetway had been set up for a
larger plane and they where not able to align it with or smaller plane due to mechanical difficulties with the Jetway.
At about 11 PM, the problem was finally solved and we where able to get off the pane. The plane was originally supposed to land at 5 PM.
The important part is that I did arrive safe and sound despite all of the delays. My seat assignment for that plane was 13 A.
I think I'll stay away from row 13 on any future flight I take.

Getting ready for the presentation at Rockland PC UG.
                   (click image to Enlarge)

On Sept 5th, I had 2 presentations. The afternoon session was held at the
Jewish Community Campus in West Nyack , NY (http://jccyofrockland.org/default.htm), and had 29 attendees.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session.


That evening at 7 PM following the Rockland PC Users Group (http://www.rpcug.org/mappalis.htm)'s Q&A session,
I did my presentation for the 38 members that attended the meeting.
Question where taken and answered as they came up during the presentation and unrelated question where discussed after the presentation.
The Rockland PC Users Group (http://www.rpcug.org/mappalis.htm) is another great source for answers to computer related problems and,
if you live in the Nyack, NY area is a Users Group worth checking out.

On 9/6/2012 my avast! presentation took me to the (http://www.wpcug.org/images/wpcug2x2.gif) Westchester PC Users Group (http://www.wpcug.org/) in Westchester County NY.
The presentation was well received by the 52 member who where in attendance. The members also had a lot of questions some of these
came during the presentation and the rest where asked during the Q&A session that followed the presentation.
As you can see from their website, this club is very active and if you live in the area is a club worth joining.

On 9-7-2012 I was at the Icon PC Users Group in Brentwood LI, NY.
Approximately 40 Members and guests attended the meeting.
We had a lot of questions both during the presentation and also afterwards.
The evening ended with a get together at the Peter Pan Diner in Bayshore LI, NY
where we discussed some further avast related material.

Hi bob3160,

This makes a very interesting read. Must be rather hectic for you. By the way as you meet a lot of people out there. How many of them you think are long time avast users? Can you make a fair guess at that number. As I assume avast av must be quite wide-spread in the States. Keep up the good work,

Damian

Hello Damian,

I wish I could say that a lot of them have been using avast! for a long time but that's not usually the case.
Most of the people at these presentations that are using a free AV program are using AVG or MSE.
That pictures changes to some extent when I return to a club. At that point, I usually find a greater number of
avast! users than before the first presentation.
I do know that if these presentations aren't helping in converting users, I would no longer be doing them. :)

New converts to avast! don't only come from people who attend the presentation.


I just received the following from someone I met and talked to at my local Airport in
Albuquerque, NM (Sunport):

19 Members of the Mid-Hudson Computer Users Group (http://www.mhcug.org/index/index.asp) in Poughkeepsie, NY,
attended the remote presentation on 9/13/2012.
The presentation was followed by a fairly lengthy Q&A session.

I'm still having a problem capturing the audio from the remote site.
(Eventually I'll find the right settings.)
As you can tell, doing a remote presentation 100% successfully depends on a lot of variables.
Not all of which are under the control of the presenter.  ;D

On 10/1/2012, 19 members of the Greater South Bay Users Group (http://gsbug.apcug.org/) attended the presentation.

The group asked many questions during and after the presentation.
I was even able to demonstrate the answer to a question posed by one of the members who is an avast! user.
The meeting was held at Zamperini Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamperini_Field) in Torrance CA.

Bob, I'm not sure where to place this appreciation... so I searched "presentations" and found this thread.

As you know, I try to monitor all press coverage (at least in English) about AVAST Software, and sometimes it can take a while to get through it all. That said, I today finally got around to reading an article about your presentation to the Chicago Computer Society back in May, which was covered by Chicago Tribune's TribLocal!

http://triblocal.com/tinley-park/calendar/2012/05/01/south-suburban-computer-club-meeting-protecting-yourself-and-your-identity-online/

You're an amazing man, Bob, and on behalf of our whole Marketing/PR team, thanks for being a great alternative to full-page advertisements over urinals. ;)

I'm enjoying every minute of it.
There's certainly a big difference in the weather between Chicago in May and California in October.
Wonder how many more urinals we can cover with full page ads.   ;D

One of last nights guests was Mirek and I was very happy to see him. The club members asked many questions
and I received many compliments for passing along a lot of useful information.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of computer clubs in the USA and those that you have visited; not to mention some of the great locations, you get to see. Hard work but well worth the effort I think.

Yesterdays presentation was unfortunately cancelled.
I didn't find out about it till I made the trip to their club.
I was told this isn't the first time this has happened to a presenter and is the
reason why this club, staring next year, will not be a member of AZACC (http://www.azacc.org/)
I was able to take this picture last night of one of the houses that are ready for Christmas:

A shame that a presentation has to be cancelled, but common courtesy would make all efforts to contact the presenter, to save them a wasted trip and time that could have been better used.

My sentiments and also those of AZACC which is why they didn't renew the clubs request to be an AZACC member club.
For a very small fee, that membership offers many resources to their member clubs.
It gave me a chance to catch up on some of my paperwork. :)

21 Members and Guests of the  Four Parks Senior Computer Club (http://fpscc.org/)
attended yesterday's afternoon presentation.
This is a small club and it was nice to see so many guests at this meeting
Who where interested in learning more about computer safety.
Judging by the questions I was asked, most of these guests will probably become
Club members and avast! users. :)

                  2012 The Year in Review
Protecting Yourself, Your Computer and, Your indentity (http://bob3160.blogspot.com/)

It's been a fairly busy year in which I did 105 Presentations  for 5160 + attendees
Those attending the presentation came from various Computer Clubs through out the USA
and from the reception and feedback, many of those attending are now using avast!
I traveled almost 60 000 Miles and was able to see a great deal of this country.

@Milos,
I also educate them on the best paid antivirus program and supply them with a
link where they can get a special 40% discount on the purchase.  :)


@ advatage77,
Even the following picture doesn't do it justice.

2/8/2013 Deerfield Beach Computer Club (http://db-cc.org/) in Deerfield Beach Fla.
This mornings presentation was attended by 75 members and guests of the club.
Every seat in the house was taken and I'm happy to report that none of the attendees fell asleep.
The presentation was followed by a long and lively Q&A session.
Barry Cowen (the clubs president) has done an excellent job in promoting this club  and as with the help
of many of the members instilled a pride in this club which shows through the enthusiasm of the clubs members.
The membership of the club has also shown a steady growth.
If you live in the area, why not join the club ? This is a great place to receive quality help with your computer problems.

3-7-2013 Gila Community College Payson AZ

87 People attended this very lively presentation held at and for the Gila Community College (http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2013/feb/22/free-computer-internet-security-presentation-gcc/) last night.
Many questions where asked both during the presentations and at the Q&A session which followed the presentation.

Gayle Goodwin, the professor who invited me to do the presentation thought this would be something that could (and did) benefit her class.
She also invited others from the community to attend the presentation.
The trip home wasn't as nice as the trip to Payson. When I left this morning at about 3:30 AM, it was raining cats and dogs....
When I went through the mountains (http://www.weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/85901?phenomena=WS&significance=W&areaid=AZZ017&office=KFGZ&etn=0003), that rain turned to snow. For quite some distance, the snow was so heavy that I was lucky
to be able to do 20 miles per hr. It made for a long trip home.

I quickly raised my hand and after being recognized, gave the following answer:
Remove, McAfee, and install avast! 8 Free which will solve your problem and,
when you attend my presentation on Saturday, I'll tell you why and exactly how it's done.


I received a roar of laughter and a loud round of applause.
You can all guess the first order of business on Saturday...... :)

Pictures taken with my phone. Not meant to be entered in a photo contest.  ;D
About to travel 6 hrs by car to get to the next presentation and not really that

Howdy bob3160,

What was that blue overlay hue on the Picasa Phots? Use PhotoFiltre on these pics (free -http://photofiltre.en.softonic.com/ - )

Damian
Pictures taken with my phone. Not meant to be entered in a photo contest.  ;D
About to travel 6 hrs by car to get to the next presentation and not really that
concerned about a hue. I don't have a photographer with me but thanks for the suggestion.  :)
The following was delivered by mail today:

During the beginning of this month, I’ll be visiting three Computer Clubs in Colorado.
My Avast Software (http://www.avast.com/) sponsored presentation on “Protecting Yourself, Your Computer and, Your Identity (http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/bob3160-1425909-protecting-yourself/)
is designed to give the average computer user the ammunition to stay safe while browsing the internet and using their computer.
The three clubs that have invited me are the Front Range PC Users Group, (http://www.frpcug.org/)Denver's Other Group (DOG) Computer Club (http://dogcomputerclub.homestead.com/index.html) and
I’ll be ending the week at the Pikes Peak Computer Application Society (http://ppcompas.apcug.org/).
Pictures and other comments about each meeting will follow in the next few posts.

This afternoon's presentation was viewed by 43 Members and Guests of the club in Warn, Sunny Fl.
The little shower that we had shortly before the presentation cleared the air but also increased the humidity.

As you can tell from the pictures, quite a few Members and Guests of
the Deerfield Computer Club (http://www.db-cc.org/) attended this mornings presentation.
Almost as much as much time was spent on the extended Q&A session
as  was required for the presentation. This is one of the member clubs of the
FACUG (http://www.facug.org/) that prides itself on helping the club members through education and
actual hand on help when a members has a computer problem.

This conference gave me an opportunity to interact with 225 Members and
             Guests of both FACUG (http://www.facug.org/) and APCUG (http://www.apcug2.org/) member clubs.
Because I enjoy interacting with people, I was also able to spread the word about
the benefits of using avast! to many of those aboard the Independence of the Seas.

I was asked to present the Keynote speech for the 2014 FACUG Spring Technology Conference (http://www.facug.org/) yesterday.
Since this venue didn't give me much of an opportunity to spread the word about avast!, I managed to find a different way:

made this remote presentation possible.

The nice thing about doing a remote presentation is that the trip home is very fast.
The bad thing is that the people interaction usually a big part of the presentation
is totally missing.
Thanks Jack Berlin of the WNY Computer Society for inviting me. :)

They posted an announcement in the local paper for the 2 weeks prior to the presentation.
I guess it worked since all the newcomers read about it in that paper. :)

Last nights presentation for the PC Community (http://pcc.org/) in Hayward CA, was done remotely for a small Audience (15).
Remote presentations for any audience is harder than a live presentation. When the internet connection at the
remote site is challenged, it makes for a long and interesting evening.
Since the members of the club didn't want to give up, neither would I.
It took over 2 1/2 hrs. to finish a presentation that normally takes an hour.
The club members still enjoyed the knowledge they gained from the presentation and are anxiously waiting for the
follow up information I always sent out.
It's always nice when what looked like a certain disaster still turns out to be a huge success.

Hi bob3160,

Prepare yourself for a lot of questions.
There is a lot going on on the Interwebs lately. ;D
We all trust in Avast, unless we test!

Hi bob3160,

We here over in Europe have not experienced any winter.
February almost gone and no snow, blue sky and a bleak moon in the afternoon.
2 degrees Centigrade in Rotterdam, that is the  temp.

6-24-2015 Ocean Hills Computer Club - Oceanside CA
(http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1435188321640-71214.png)

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 Smart phone ? 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 (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 prevent almost all of the pop ups!
Remember that this will also prevent some of the useful messages from Avast. You may also shorten the duration of the pop ups you receive.
Since Avast does require funding to continue to enhance it's program and your protection, the free version will most likely always ask that you upgrade.


3. Do you have an opinion on Upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 ?
Short Answer: Yes I always have lots of opinions on a lot of topics!
Long Answer: I will be updating all of my eligible computers to Windows 10 on or after July 29, 2015. Windows 10 is a Safer,
smarter and more compatible OS that Windows 7. It also comes with a Start Menu.
The lack of a Smart Menu was one of the stumbling blocks for the acceptance of Windows 8.

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.
The presentation was well received and prompted quite a few questions.
I was even able to do some hands on customization for some of the members who already used Avast
to make their use of Avast more to their liking. It was a long but very enjoyable day.

I was able to make quite a few people aware of the dangers that are on the internet and I was able to show them
how using Avast as their main program for protection against virus, Trojans, Rootkits and Malware was an excellent way to
help stay safe while browsing the internet and using all of their smart devices and computers.

Two more well attended presentations.

It always amazes me how well these computer clubs are supported and attended.

Computer clubs in the UK are very few and far between and even then there may well be only a dozen or so members.

Computer clubs here have gotten smaller and there are less of them.
But, quite a few people still belong and attend the meetings.
I have unfortunately also seen some clubs close down through the past five years that I've been doing these seminars.
I've also done presentations for clubs other than Computer Clubs. These presentations benefit the average computer user
even if they aren't members of a CC. Church and other groups all use computer, smart phones and tablets. They all need to be protected.
In Florida, I dad a presentation at a Senior Health Care Center and one for a Jewish Community Center.

Yes, I hadn't though of that angle as most groups will still have members who have an interest in computers. So a presentation on security should be well received.

Up till now, I've been in short sleeve shirts.
That'll change for this afternoons scheduled presentation:

Big Bear CA here I come. :)  I made it as far as the 7000 ft level. At that point,
I was stopped by State Troopers because I didn't have chains.
My choice was to put on chains or, turn around and go back down the hill.
The rental vehicle doesn't come with chains and there wasn't any way to get
to the club in time to do the presentation.

I was able to get links to the club to watch a pre-recorded version of the presentation
that was recorded in January by one of the Florida clubs.
I would have been happy to do a remote presentation but the internet access at the hotel just isn't up to par to make that viable.
Bummer!!!!

I almost didn't get to this club. Someone forgot to mention that the street address
was 333 EAST Foothill Blvd. My GPS sent me on a goose chase since without the East,
it's at a totally different and non existent place. All's well that ends well even when you
get there 40 min. late. Insted of being first on the agenda, I was last.

Hi Bob!  Long time, no talk...

I just have to say I very much appreciate what you do for the community in terms of online security.  I'm so glad that someone like you can grasp all the nuances of online trickery and explain it to a group of individuals  (probably 10's of times a month) in a way that they can understand and comprehend!

Many Kudos to you sir and wish that one day I can be halfway as beneficial to the worldwide community as you have been.

Next time you're anywhere close to PA, let me know, I have plenty of black coffee's ready for you!

I was in my kitchen in Meadow Lake (http://mlpaa.org),
They were attending a meeting of the DMA in Huber Heights, OH (http://www.dma1.org/)
We did have 3 glitches when their WiFi didn't want to co-operate but,
those incidences were quickly resolved to make this a good remote presentation.
Unfortunately this clubs schedule was more than a week away from my last presentation where I was
actually in Ohio so we needed to schedule this as a remote presentation.
The presentation was also followed by a Q&A session. Hopefully next year, this club
will be on a schedule for a live presentation.

http://bigidahopotato.com/the-truck/ (http://bigidahopotato.com/the-truck/)
The first encounter was on Interstate I35E outside of Dallas TX and later that afternoon,
I again saw and passed this monster truck on Interstate I40 outside of  Tucumcari, NM.
As you can see, I even received a friendly greeting from Larry, the driver of this truck.

It might be small in size but certainly not small in it's ability to store an enormous amount of data, etc.
It's big enough to store all the stuff I now have on several USB Drives. :)
Thanks to my friend Robert Vance for mailing it to me. :)

Despite a few Audio glitches, this was an enjoyable event followed by quite a few questions. It was nice to know that 12 of the members attending
were already Avast users. We spent a little time after the presentation bringing up the Avast SafeZone Browser to answer some questions.

Even the embedded videos in the presentation worked flawlessly.
The audience also enjoyed the remote presentation. here's the feedback I've already received:
"Hi, We had 18 attendees. It was fun to see them having so much fun. As I told you 2 years ago,
you say the same stuff I do but you have the creds. Many of them were taking notes.Judy"
It was truly an enjoyable evening. :)

All the attendees were eager to learn about the new technology discussed and very eager
to learn how to protect their systems, smart phones and tablets in today's dangerous world.
It was also nice to do some one on one teaching on just how Avast works, how to install it etc.

It was a pretty drive to last nights presentation for the Payson Group:
(http://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1483805411286-86198.png)
This was the clubs first meeting under a new concept (http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2016/dec/29/computer-club-trying-out-new-approach/). 2016 ended ona sour note
for the club. No one new wanted to step up to run the club so, it was decides that
rather than disband after many years of service to the Payson, AZ, trying something new may just work.
As you can see from the pictures, the turnout was pretty good and the new concept may just do the trick.
Good luck to those that want to keep this excellent club going. Hope I'll be visiting there again next year.

A small but very interested group. After the presentation, I was able to help
one of their members do a clean, custom install of Avast Free.
She was running Window 7 and had a problem after the last update.
A clean install fixed her problem.Since we had no internet access, it was a good thing
that I also carry a usb device with all the tools I needed to complete the task.
The only thing I could not do was to register the program since that requires internet access.
One more satisfied Avast customer. :)

A quote from their newsletter.
"The club was able to book Bob Gostischa
to present “Tips for Staying Safe Online, Preventing Ransomware and Identity Theft”.
His presentation was extremely well received and was not a promo-
tional pitch for the Avast software but a very comprehensive exami-
nation of all security concerns. He engaged the audience and dis-
sected security issues into simple and memorable ways. Feedback
from members said this was the best security presentation the club
has had."
Sounds like I made someone happy which makes me very happy. :)

Even a little glitch at the end didn't dampen any ones spirits. Apparently, the computer used

Q&A session that followed the presentation. I didn't know that till the club  realized what
had happened. After plugging in the power cord to the laptop, and reconnecting to the

Last night I had the pleasure of doing a presentation for the members of KEGS (http://www.kegs.org/)
This was a smaller club ideally suited for a remote presentation.
Monetarily, it isn't possible to do a live presentation for every club.
Doing a remote presentation makes sense because expenses are minimal yet,
the club receives virtually the same information and benefit.

It's a bit strange to do a one sided presentation. They had no problem
seeing and hearing me and seeing the presentation. I wasn't so lucky.
The good thing is that my audience was still very happy to have received the
remote Presentation.

As you can see, this was a very small group. The presentation was well received
despite a few hiccups. Apparently the clubs laptop hadn't been used in a while.
During the middle of the presentation, Windows decided to reboot to finish some
need updates. Keeping your programs and Operating System updated is something I stress
during the presentation. Once the updates finished, we were able to finish the presentation.
All's well that ends well.

Unfortunately the Story Hour Room (http://www.iconusersgroup.org/tlc.html) wasn't meant for Remote Stories or Presentations.

We struggled for a while and then the ICON Computer Users group (http://www.iconusersgroup.org/) asked if I could
wait while they moved to a different part of the Library that had better internet access.
Since the cam on the computer that was used wasn't working, I have no video of the presentation.
I was able to hear the club even if not clearly.
The good thing was that the club had an excellent feed coming from my side and  had no problems
watching the powerpoint presentation and hear my narration after they moved.
All's well that ends well. :) .

(http://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1510834719233-61427.png)
I encourage questions. Even during the presentation.
Questions show interest. Questions show a willingness to learn
and be involved.
The Central Iowa Computer User Group (CIACUG) (http://ciacug.org/) was the last of the groups
who requested a presentation for Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Since their meeting for October had already been booked, we settled on the Nov. date.
In total, I remotely visited 16 Clubs for Cyber Security Awareness Month.
We started in Moline Illinois (http://www.qcs.org/) and ended in Ankeny Iowa.
I was as far east as Rochester NY (http://www.rcsi.org/) and as far west as Newhall, California (http://www.scvcomputerclub.org/).
That's a lot of miles to cover but, I never left my home on this long trip.
Next month, I'll be traveling (remotely) to my neighbor to the north, Toronto, Canada (http://www.pcct.org/index.htm).

My audience was made up of viewers in Toronto Canada, Israel and,  California.
My hats off to the viewer in Israel since the presentation started for him at 2:30 AM his time.
It was 5:30 PM my time when we started the program which was separated into two parts with
a Q&A session in the middle and a follow up Q&A session at the end.
I was asked for a return engagement but the next presentation will cover a live demonstation
of the ins and outs of the Free version of Avast. It was a very enjoyable evening.

2018 Florida Recap

During my visit to Florida in January, I had the pleasure of addressing
almost 1000 people in various groups throughout the state.
The message for this year is very simple and to the point.
"If it's Connected, it Needs to be Connected (https://goo.gl/hePQgZ)". Those of us that use Avast (https://www.avast.com)
know that Avast plays a great part in keeping us and those things connected to the internet safe.

That is one long journey further than Lands End to John O’Groats (effectively the length of England to Northern mainland Scotland at roughly 837 miles depending on route and roads, etc.

When I was based in Germany I would think nothing of driving back to England a little over 500 miles to southern England.  I even did it a couple of times towing a caravan and did it in pretty much one stint (stopping for fuel and ferry) 

I used to travel from southern England up to Bridlington and back for a weekend (about 256 miles each way) parachuting, travel up Friday late afternoon and back in Sunday evening.

Next month, at the moment, only has one presentation schedule and it's a remote presentation.
This one will also be a bit different. It will concentrate on Avast - how to install and use it.
Followed by a hands on Q&A. For the q&A, they'll be able to share their screen and I'll guide them on mine.
If this goes over well, plans are to do more on the same line. I'll be calling it "Avast, Hands On."

4-6-2018 Sierra Winds Lifetime Health Care - Peoria, AZ
Getting ready for a remote presentation.
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1523039909689-52953.png)
35 members of the Facility (http://www.sierrawinds.com/) attended his morning's ZOOM (https://zoom.us/) presentation.
After resolving a problem with their audio, the presentation went offwithout a hitch.
Unfortunately, the time spent fixing the problem, prevented usf rom have the usual
Q&A session after the meeting.
The program chair has already booked a live presentation for Feb 1, 2019.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/MpYdm5iDhqoxmgZ32 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/MpYdm5iDhqoxmgZ32)
The club members gathered at their Senior Center in Santa Clarita, CA
and I was poised at my computer in Meadow Lake, NM for an evening where the
topic was "All about Avast (https://www.avast.com/index)" Most of the club uses Avast, some free some paid.
The clubs president, Judy Taylour (https://apcug2.org/judy-taylour/), had requested a presentation on that topic
There are only two club members that currently aren't using Avast to keep them safe.
I hope that I had something to do with that statistic. It was a very enjoyable evening.
There will probably be several more presentations devoted to this topic. (It's certainly my favorite.)

As you can tell from the title, this presentation covered the new Avast Secure Browser (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser)
We covered the reasons why IMHO, this is an excellent default browser.
We covered the security aspects. We covered the Banking mode even though I could only describe it.
Banking Mode does not show up in a remote presentation or in screenshot, etc.
A request was made regarding importing bookmarks directly from Firefox. A good idea and I've already passed that along.
Lots of questions and hands on demonstrations and answers.

This afternoon I received a warm welcome for those attending the meeting of the gscClub (https://gscclub.org/).
I received questions on using a VPN (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) and many other topics. One member also asked how to avoid the
Avast popup regarding cleaning up some of the programs and files on her computer.

Just to let you know that the links were just mailed out to the Club.
One gent who was not able to attend Monday had asked for a recording,
so it was great you had that available.

Thanks again for your efforts and entertainment

Remote presentations are great when it comes to passing along knowledge to a smaller club far away.
It doesn't work to share all the cookies and coffee that the club had to offer for those in attendance.
The members were very attentive and there was an extensive Q&A session after the presentation.
Someone even asked if I know how to convert Cassette Tapes to digital format. My advice was to do a search.
Here is just one result, https://www.toptenreviews.com/computers/peripherals/best-cassette-to-mp3-converters/
This was my final presentation in support of the National Cyber Security Awareness Month (https://staysafeonline.org/ncsam/). In total, there were

Grass Roots - from the ground up.
Common ordinary rather than directed at elite or in this case technical.
Designed to be understood by the ordinary person rather than the technically savvy person.
No free grass not even for smoking. :)

It won't be long (a couple of months) before the Moorhens and the Mallards start brooding on/around the small pond at the back of my house.  Last year had two broods for both the resident Moorhens and Mallards. 

There are still around 9 Moorhens and (at times) 11 Mallards.  Before the first brood there will be lots of chasing the last brood off.

It is indeed a busy place. Right by the main entrance to this meeting hall. We actually had a 'conversation' while I was waiting.
Wonder if she'll be another Avast convert? :)

(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1548542942105-35542.png[/img)
There were a lot of questions during and following the presentations.

Avast's SecureLine and the free version of Avast received the most questions.
I was also able to visit some of the other classes and really enjoyed the one
on 3D Printing.

There was me thinking Arizona was warm and sunny :)

Quote from: Wikipedia
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters.

Quote from: Wikipedia
It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states.

I guess this (the Mountain States) is where the snow originates.

Is that mostly on Interstate 1 or the old route 66 ?

Much of it looks very like the route we took when we drove non-stop (only refuelling and changing drivers) from the East to West Coast, from "JFK Airport" to Pope Valley Parachute Ranch, Napa California. 

We drove almost as far as we flew from the UK to the US East Coast. An epic journey and trip and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

Route 66 is now a status symbol. It's only used in bits and pieces.
For long distance, Interstate 40 has replaced Rte 66.
That Google snapshot also represents close to 100 thousand miles of travel.

Yes when looked at in isolation it looks like one big long trip not many, many trips over a long time and not a single journey.   Now when I think about a trip of a few hundred miles, I think no thanks. Our road infrastructure is poor, over crowded, expensive services, restaurants, etc.

Ray Baxter, the club (http://paysoncomputer.club/) president, was able to use his cell phone as a hotspot and the presentation
went off without a hitch.

Last night I had the pleasure of remotely addressing the members of the http://www.pcc.org/
Once we cleared up a slight audio problem, the presentation was well received by all in attendance.
The club had some questions for me after the presentation which I happily answered.
The Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) and the Avast Smart Home Security (https://youtu.be/IKAq8klu0S0) were the top attention getters.

(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1565689724929-82761.png)
The topic for the evening was the CCleaner Browser (https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/browser).
We covered a custom install and went through the various settings.
We also covered adding a Chrome extension (https://youtu.be/d9UE_nKrZSQ) to that browser.
The extension added was the Avast Passwords Manager (https://support.avast.com/en-eu/product/Avast_Passwords).
Since this was a hands on interactive presentations, the club members were free to ask questions
during and after the presentation. It was a productive meeting where everyone learned something.

Hi Bob, out of interest - did you completely switch to remote presentations, no more travelling..?
Since I'll be doing a total of 27 presentations this month that cover a great deal of the US and Canada,
this month's presentation will all be done remotely.
I have a conference scheduled in Nov that I'll be attending live and in Jan 2020, I'll be heading back to Florida.
(Live and in person to kick off the new year.) :)

Outside of a few technical glitches the presentation was well received.

Remote Presentations always work better when you have internet access.
About 10 min. into the presentation, the club lost their internet access.
I never give up and the Club also persevered while the problem was resolved.
The router needed to be reset to get their WiFi back in the meeting hall.
While waiting for that to happen, we had a Q&A session via cellphone relay.
Since the delay caused the program to go over the usual allotted time,
quite a few members left before the presentation was finished.
Since I provide a link to an early recording of this presentation,
they'll get to watch what they missed at their own leisure.

those that attended enjoyed the evening and, I was told, learned a lot.

The saying is "All's well that ends well."
Unfortunately, last night's second presentation never really got off the ground.
You could call this one "Mission Impossible." (Sorry.)
The club was not able to use their regular meeting place and the alternate had next to no internet access.
We tried for over 1/2 hr. to make it work but to no avail. There weren't any hotpots available
as alternatives so we were force to abandon the attempt. It's never nice when that happens.
As a saving grace, the follow up information I send out to the club contains a link to a YouTube recording
of this presentation made earlier in the year. https://youtu.be/z15dxvWQrfc (https://youtu.be/z15dxvWQrfc)

This mornings presentation was for the NNCUG (http://www.nncug.net/) members.
The Q&A session that followed covered a variety of topics but, most
of the questions related to Phishing attempts via phone and/or email.
The best advice to avoid and end a phone scam is to simply hang up the phone.
The free version of Avast (https://www.avast.com/index) also does an excellent job of protecting you against Phishing (https://www.avast.com/c-phishing)

(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1571601230223-43104.png)

This afternoon I addressed the members of the ECOTUC (https://lccsohio.org).
I've been a member of this club for quite a few years because they pass along so much
valuable technology related information.
It was an excellent presentation and was followed by many questions covering VPN (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn),
WiFi Inspector (https://blog.avast.com/find-out-if-your-home-network-is-vulnerable-with-wi-fi-inspector), Password Manager (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords), Avast Mobile Security (https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-mobile-security) and,
Applying a credit freeze (https://youtu.be/1z7TY8l9oW0).

This evenings presentation for the PPCUG (https://ppcug-nj.apcug.org/) users was a little strange for me since the laptop
the club used had no cam. I was able to hear my audience but not see them.
After the meeting we have a nice discussion on password security and 2 Factor authentication.

The presentation was well received as evident by the questions asked
after the presentation.

(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1572038949779-39699.png)

During the Q&A session, we covered phishing attacks (https://www.avast.com/c-phishing), firewalls (https://www.avast.com/en-us/f-firewall), and phone scams (https://blog.avast.com/2015/09/24/got-an-aging-parent-tell-them-about-the-grandparent-scam/).

The cam on the laptop used on the computer clubs didn't work but the presentation went off without any problems.
Lots of laughter during the presentation and quite a few questions after the presentation.
We spent some time doing a hands on explanation of Avast Omni (https://www.avast.com/en-us/omni#omni) since that was of great interest to the club members.

As the last presentation during this Cyber Security Awareness Month (https://blog.avast.com/good-bad-ugly-cybersecurity-month),
it was nice to remotely spend this evening with the members of MICRO (http://www.micro-pc.org/).
I was happy to be in my home since in Denver they had about a foot of snow.
During the Q&A that followed the presentation I was asked how Avast makes its money if the product is free (https://www.lifewire.com/avast-free-antivirus-2016-review-1356598).
There were also questions on the Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc).

We started the presentation off with the following announcement.

(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1572641601042-72200.png)
If you haven't updated your copy of Chrome, please do so ASAP.

the Passwords Manager (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords#pc) and Omni (https://www.avast.com/en-us/omni#omni).

We had some questions during the presentation and a very extensive Q&A session afterwards.
Main topics covered in the Q&A were Avast Passwords Manager (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords#pc), SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) and, Avast Secure Browser (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser#pc).
Someone also wanted to know what Avast could do to protect her car. That's currently not available
but I'm sure Avast is probably working on that protection

The STUG organization (https://thestug.org/index2.html) also does computer refurbishing and every computer that they refurbish and
give back to the community has Avast Free installed on those computers. https://www.thestug.org/refurb_files/refurb.html (https://www.thestug.org/refurb_files/refurb.html)
Last year alone, that amounted to more than 1000 Avast installs.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session with lots of questions.

It was another enjoyable evening teaching those interested in learning more about what it takes
to stay reasonably safe and secure in this complex world where so much technology needs protection.
Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) and the Avast Passwords (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords#pc) manager were the products most asked about last night.

I'd like to blame it on my eyesight but that would be a cop out. I screwed up. Hopefully, one of the clubs can re-schedule.
If not, one club will be disappointed and probably a bit mad at me for not having seen that mistake earlier. :-[

I said I would address the issue following the presentation.
The presentation was well received and as promised, followed by a Q&A session covering mainly
the question I was asked in the beginning.
We covered what was shared and we went over the settings in Avast concerning personal privacy.
Most members were happy with the fact that there was a way to turn of sharing their information
even in the free version.

We also had a question on removing another AV before installing Avast.
I was happy to address both questions.

So I'm going over my schedule for the presentations in AZ and I noticed a conflict on 2/5/2020.
I'd like to blame it on my eyesight but that would be a cop out. I screwed up. Hopefully, one of the clubs can re-schedule.
If not, one club will be disappointed and probably a bit mad at me for not having seen that mistake earlier. :-[
So I've heard back from John at Dreamland Computer Club (http://www.dreamlandvilla.org/page.cfm/9)
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1580987275676-8966.png)
I am still sorry that I made a mistake in my bookings but, I am very happy that the video saved the day.
John has already been added to next year's schedule.

2-5-2020 Computer Booters of Sun Lakes - Sun Lakes, AZ
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1580991873856-3986.png)
The Computer Booters (https://computerbooters.org/) last night received two presentations.
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1580989971708-38261.png)
We spent the first half hour learning all about using ZOOM (https://zoom.us/pricing) software to have a successful
remote presentation. A remote presentation via ZOOM (https://zoom.us/pricing) is the next best thing to
being there in person.
The second presentation was "Staying Safe and Secure (http://bit.ly/2N1eaR2)" and covered many security related topics.
The two most asked about Avast (https://www.avast.com/en-us/index#pc) products were Avast Free (https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-antivirus-download) and Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc).
I also covered questions asked about the recent Avast privacy concerns.

A nice way to start the day. A good turnout from the members of Rock Comp CC.
They were a very attentive audience. We followed the presentation with a Q&A session.
Most of the questions and curiosity revolved around Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) and HMA (https://www.hidemyass.com/en-us/index).
I was happy to answer questions about both of these Avast products.

2-15-2020 Prescott Computer Society - Prescott, AZ
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1581857308556-98268.png)
It was an interesting afternoon yesterday.
The Prescott library (http://www.prescottlibrary.info/) had installed a new projector that would not
work with my computer. The club (http://www.pcs4me.com/) offered an older computer which worked
with the new projector except, that computer didn't have PowerPoint installed.
Persistence again paid off, I had uploaded a copy of the presentation to my
OneDrive and, was successfully able to show that presentation using an online
version of PowerPoint. Maybe we should consider this a remote, in person presentation.
My thanks to the club (http://www.pcs4me.com/) for their patience while we worked through the problems.
All's well that ends well. The presentation was well received and we had quite a
few questions on various topics during and after the presentation.
Avast Free (https://www.avast.com/en-us/index#pc), Passwords Manager (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords#pc), SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc), Avast Omni (https://www.avast.com/en-us/omni#omni)

@bob, You know you can create PDF's of your presentation from Powerpoint, which may be a backup if that happens again. Not sure if you have dynamic content in your pesentation though. Laptops and projectors are one of my pet hates over the years.

The problem has to do with embedded video's that are part of the presentation.
PDF's aren't the answer. A fully updated presentation is now available to me online if it's ever needed again.
This is the 11th year of doing these presentations. It's the first time I've ever run into this problem.

Last night, I remotely joined the Club (http://www.pcct.org/) members based in Canada.
We covered a very wide range of topics including the recently reported
Avast data sharing controversy.
Most club members (http://www.pcct.org/), once I explained the entire story, were a lot more at ease
once they had all the facts. I can't say that they rejoiced but, those
club members who used Avast (https://www.avast.com/en-us/about), are still Avast (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) customers and will remain Avast (https://www.avast.com/en-us/omni#omni) users.

It was a small group at tonight's meeting due to a last minute change in the meeting place.
The usual meeting place at the Payson Public Library was not available due to construction.
We still had an excellent meeting with many question raised by those attending.
The questions asked ranged from Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc) to Avast Passwords Manager (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords#pc)
I was happy to address all of the questions asked.

This was the presentation that almost didn't happen. The club members had lots of questions
during and after the presentation. Many of the questions had to do with the Avast Password Manager (https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords#pc).

As you can see, the presentations aren't only about serious matters and doom and gloom stuff.
Sometimes a bit of humor does a much better job of getting the point across.
The point this slide stresses is the importance of using quality programs and apps and,
the importance of creating an image backup on a regular basis.

Effective Immediately.
In the interest of protecting the safety of everyone, mine included,
presentations for the foreseeable future will be done remotely using ZOOM (https://zoom.us/meetings).
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1584046401828-79080.png)
My audience will still see and be able to interact with me during and after the presentation.
I'll be doing the presentations from my home and, the audience can also connect remotely
from the safety and comfort of their own home.
This will ensure everyone's safety and, help prevent the spread of the corona-virus (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html).
If you're group is interested in a presentation (http://bit.ly/2N1eaR2), simply contact me to start the process.
As always, there is no charge to the club or it's members for this service thanks to Avast Software (https://www.avast.com/en-us/about).

where everyone was in their own home utilizing ZOOM (https://zoom.us/) to come together, do the
clubs business (https://www.cuerie.com/) and view the presentation (http://bit.ly/2N1eaR2).
Since everyone arrived a little early, we had a great discussion about
how the Corona-virus (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html) was affecting everyone lives. We also talked a bit
about how everyone is handling the social separation.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session. I was able to show off
Avast Omni (https://www.avast.com/en-us/omni#omni) since that was one of the main topics of discussion in the Q&A.
I was quite happy with the overall outcome. Everyone was able to participate
verbally and via their individual webcam. For right now, this is as close as we'll
come to actually being there in person.
Stay safe everyone and let's get together remotely.

Since then, I like everyone else have been grounded and working from home.
Hope this comes to an end soon. Stay safe, stay home, keep your distance and,
wash your hands often.

This morning, I was part of the program for this weekly Zoom Meeting.
I may not be able to visit in person but ZOOM is a great alternative.
It's a great way to keep the clubs together while we need to stay apart.

Another interesting installment of this weekly series.
My part of this ZOOM forum is to do a report on Security related issues that have
occurred since the last meeting and point out security related trends.
One participant who installed Avast Mobile Security (https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-mobile-security) on his Android phone shared
with everyone how please he was with all the features included in the free version.
He did mention that he wished he didn't see so many requests to install Avast SecureLine (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#android)
on his Android device.

We also spent some time on the differences between the various Avast versions.
A question was also raised about using more than one antivirus program and why that is never recommended.

"G'day Bob, Just to let you know the invitation has been received.
There will be a few connections as we can now meet again at the library with limited numbers,
so that group will link in from there. Other members who can't get in or are playing it safe, will join in directly."


This will be the furthest away from home that I'll ever have done a presentation.
Unfortynately, I'll be doing the presentation remotely via ZOOM.

My final presentation for October (Cyber Security Awareness Month) was for the
members of The Person Computer Users Group of Connecticut (https://tpcug-ct.org/). (PCUG of CT)
It was an interesting evening for an interested group.
Most questions asked after the presentation revolved around OMNI
and the free version of Avast. There were also some questions about
SecureLine and what's considered a safe connection.

We had a good turnout and the presentation was well received.
The main question after the meeting was about installing Avast on a system
that currently has Microsoft Defender. That was a very easy question to answer.

participated in APCUG's annual meeting.

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.

It was a small but extremely interested group. I was asked and answered a question about data harvesting.
I also had a question and some interest in Avast Omni. We also spent some time discussing fingerprint

This presentation was a bit different than most.
I presented via Zoom to two club (https://scccomputerclub.org/) members and one of them streamed the presentation
to YouTube Live. This is how they get the presentation to their members.
For me the drawback is that this method doesn't allow for interaction with the audience.
Since there is also a time delay between the Zoom presentation and the broadcast to YouTube,
live questions aren't really possible.
It was still an enjoyable evening and I was told that the information was well received.

I spent this afternoon with the club members but was a bit disappointed because I
usually saw them for their Sunday brunch. Today was all business, no brunch, no goodies.
Everyone still had a wonderful time and since we spent about 1/2 hr. just doing Q&A, they must
all have been interested. The most discussion during that Q&A was about backups.
There was also quite an interest in Avast Omni.

The presentation was well-received. There was a Q&A session prior to my presentation

Some of the questions addressed pertained to the following, Router, and Computer
shut-down; how when, and why. Changing from one AV to Avast.

I almost skipped this entry which would not have been fair.
This presentation was a last-minute request and the topic was to be a "General Q&A session".
We covered a broad scope of questions here are just some of those questions.
Static picture in ZOOM when turning off the video. Displaying all items in the system tray.
Wiping a hard drive using Ccleaner. Accessing the computer's system tray during a Zoom meeting.
Removing a Hard drive from a laptop. Selectively bypassing an update offered by Microsoft on Win. 10.
I also answered quite a few Anast specific questions.  There were also many questions during the two
hour session.

(https://d1ka0itfguscri.cloudfront.net/Lh/2021/02/08/19/06/crnjq1Sn9z/preview.jpg)
The show again reached its 100 participants capacity before we also started the show on YouTube live.
We made it to 31 minutes into the show when there was an apparent ZOOM outage or something else and everyone
was knocked off. It also ended the YouTube portion abruptly.
Once we figured out what had happened, the show was restarted, and gradually most of the participants
rejoined the show. This was the first time something like this had ever happened.
I personally hope it never happens again. The good thing is that you learn from glitches and become more prepared
for future ones if or when they happen.

(https://d1ka0itfguscri.cloudfront.net/Lh/2021/03/06/14/48/cre12JVcfAT/preview.jpg)
If you check my entries for Feb. it was a busy month.
This is currently a different world. We travel mostly for necessity
and we work from home. Let's hope that changes in the not-too-distant future.
My wife and I have both been lucky (or old) enough to have received our vaccinations.
For the near future, all presentations will still be done remotely and mostly via Zoom.

I spent the latter part of this morning with the members of the SVE Computer Club (https://svecc.com/).
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 (https://www.avast.com/en-us/avast-one#pc).

This morning I was the guest speaker for the APCUG's Fall Technology Conference (https://apcug2.org/apcugs-free-2021-fall-virtual-technology-conference-vtc42/)
Since this is a webinar, there really isn't the same audience interaction
that's usually present during a normal Zoom presentation.
Questions that were submitted via the chat function got addressed
after the presentation and there were many.
I'm happy to see that despite the fact that I just finished doing this presentation
to over 30 member clubs last month that I still had a great audience. (113 attendees)
APCUG (https://apcug2.org/) does an excellent job of keeping its worldwide member clubs engaged
and well informed. Their Wednesday workshops and quarterly VTC's
are a real benefit for all members.

This was a hands on demonstration of Windows 11 and all the new features
that are part of this newest release from Microsoft.
We started the evening with some basics that should be followed before
the upgrade including creating an image backup, just in case.
We all know that things only go wrong when we don't prepare for it.
I was also sent a list of questions prior to the presentation from
various club members that I answer and provided any needed material.
Many of the questions pertained to compatibility with current programs and
hardware. I personally haven't run into any of those types of problems.
It's always nice when you can actually answer a question while demonstrating
the answer directly on your system. A picture is still worth a thousand words.

Today I returned to a club I last visited in 2020.
Today's presentation was done remotely and took a bit longer
to complete because their internet had some glitches.
When their internet froze, so did my presentation and it resumed
once they reconnected.
The presentation was well received. Everyone learned something and had
some laughs.
We had some questions after the presentation regarding using Avast (https://www.avast.com/en-us/avast-one#pc)
as a replacement for Windows Defender and, a question about using Avast on a Mac.
They were both happy to learn that Avast offers excellent protection
on both operating systems.

Another great start to the workweek.
Today was the big debate for or against "Backing up your Hard Drive"
The vote was fairly evenly split 51% for and 49% against.
Both sides had some good arguments and, considering that most of our
work is now cloud based, the need for a backup isn't as severe any more as it was in the past.

This evening I remotely visited the members of this club in FL.
Needless to say, I would much rather have been there in person.
The presentation was well received and followed by a Q&A session.
The biggest discussion was in regards to crypto mining and the fact that
it was something available in Norton. The club is well aware of the upcoming
merger and hopes that it will never show up in Avast.

The collage of images were sent to me from one of the other staff members.
My portions in this episode were pre taped since the show must go on,
I was undergoing cataract surgery. My bandages will come off later this morning.
Till then I get to experience what many folks that only have the use of one eye
go through every day. I give then credit, it isn't easy.

"I didn't know Ccleaner (https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds) could do all of that. I just thought it cleaned up junk"
I'm sure quite a few folks are using Ccleaner (https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds) for more than basic cleaning.

I read that Avast article with interest, having used the FitBit for some time, I never gave them any information, but I found it to be more hassle than it was worth.  But more so its total inaccurate in calculating my pulse whilst out walking/jogging.

As a side note you had a hidden link spammer join your topic, I found this very interesting (or words to that effect), but he didn't last very long before being culled.

they got to see what the new Gmail interface will look like, saw the final episode on Solar Energy,
learned how to use Google Photos to edit their videos, learned how to search for traffic Cams, and
saw a tribute to Loretta Lynn in our music tribute. The show ended with a Q&A session where we
answered many questions on the topics covered.

I spent yesterday evening remotely visiting with club members (https://www.uchug.org/) in San Diego.
Evening sessions in CA are always pretty late for my lifestyle since I'm a very early riser.
I was however very happy to again see and interact with old friends.
The presentation was well received and followed by a Q&A session where we discussed
the importance of VPN (https://www.avast.com/en-us/secureline-vpn#pc)'s, cookies and what they are. We also talked about reducing the
sales popups in Avast Free (https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-antivirus-download#pc) and how to adjust the personal privacy settings in Avast.
Today I received links to two files that represented the recording of this meeting.
I merged the two files into one video which is available at https://youtu.be/z_MnVBopRVM

This is the entire presentation including the Q&A session. The only editing I did was to clean up the
merge points of the two original files. I eliminated the overlap.
Total length of the video is 58.28 min. the Q&A session starts at 48.20 min.

This evening I spent some ZOOM time with the WAUC (https://wauc.apcug.org/) 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 (https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/run-antivirus-smart-scan/#pc) 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 (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) and URLVoid (https://www.urlvoid.com/) are just two of those types of websites.

Another well attended and interesting feature packed show.
When you do a live show, there are usually some unexpected occurrences.

Just as in Hollywood's showbusiness, the show must go on and we simply substituted
something in the place of the missing presentation not available due to internet trouble.

of Artificial Intelligence in various industries including the Cybersecurity
Industry outlining how Avast uses AI (https://youtu.be/XC1SJFIAXE8) and how both Avast and their customers 
benefit from the use of AI.
The presentation is divided into two parts. Par one is a PowerPoint presentation.
Part two is a hands on demo of ChatGPT and DALL-E 2. For this portion, the club
requesting the presentation is asked to supply input they would like both
AI platforms to address. We had some interesting replies from both ChatGPT and
DALL-E 2 from the queries submitted. the following image is from DALL-E 2 in response
to the following question:
“An illustration about the frustrations a user often has with a personal computer, mobile phone, and/or tablet--in the style of the artist, illustrator, cartoonist, and author, Gahan Wilson (February 18, 1930 – November 21, 2019)” Here is the response shared:

We posed two questions to ChatGPT: 1. "Why are there so many production companies showing their logos at the beginning of a movie?"
2.  "What supplements interact negatively with Metformin?" I then asked for sources
to back up the replies received. The audience was amazed at the speed and accuracy of the information.

Avast Sponsored Security Seminars are now history.
(https://d1ka0itfguscri.cloudfront.net/Lh/2020/10/15/12/53/cY6olM7quW/preview.jpg)
Thanks for the opportunity.
Avast (https://www.avast.com/en-us/index#pc), now part of GenDigital (https://www.gendigital.com/), has decided to end this project as of 3/31/2023.
I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity and the commitment Avast has always
put into making the project a success.
I want to personally thank Ondřej Vlček (https://www.nortonlifelock.com/us/en/corporate-profile/management-team/ondrej-vlcek/) for his personal guidance and support
through out this thirteen plus year endeavor.
Going forward, my commitment is still strong and I'll continue to help where ever I can.
I think the Avast brand still offers a quality product and commitment to it's customers
and is still what protects my digital life and my computers, tablets and phones.
Going forward, there'll be some changes in the amount of resources I can commit in helping
others but, since we now have tools like ZOOM, Meet, Teams, FreeConferenceCall, and others,
help and presentations are only a click away. I also plan to continue making instructional videos.
Thanks again Avast for making all of this possible. The project may have ended, I plan to continue.
