11-10-2019 APCUG 2019 Florida Technology Conference

I've just had the pleasure of attending and participating in this
excellent conference in Zephyrhills, Florida.
My presentation "All About Avast" was only one of many presentations
enjoyed by all the people that attended the APCUG conference
I've set up an album of the pictures taken at that conference.

1-8-2020 Cascades Computer & Technology Club - Port St Lucie, FL

A nice turnout for this afternoon's presentation.
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, SecureLine and, Avast Secure Browser.
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

1-8-2020 Sarasota Technology Users Group - Sarasota, FL

As you can see, it was an excellent turnout by the members of the club.
The STUG organization 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
Last year alone, that amounted to more than 1000 Avast installs.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A session with lots of questions.

And no, I did not pop out of the cake prior to the meeting.
The club had their annual breakfast and this year it included a birthday cake for a member.
Another well attended presentation followed by quite a few questions.
Phishing was a big topic and so was the use of a VPN like SecureLine.
