10/12/2020 Komputer Enthusiasts of Greater Seattle and Victoria Computer Club

This evening's remote presentation was done for the members of two clubs
The KEGS are in Seattle, WA and the Victoria Computer Club is in BC, Canada     
The clubs remotely combined to both get to hear my presentation. I joined early so I was able to listen to the clubs regular meeting
and my presentation followed. After the well-received presentation there was a nice Q&A session.
We discussed the use of a VPM while doing on-line banking and how that sometimes presents a problem.
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.

10-14-2020 SCV Computer Club - Remote

The evening presentation was enjoyed with the members of the
Sant Clarita Valley members in Sunny CA. As you can see,
I have some fans in that club. Some years back, a few lucky winners also
received an Avast cap which they are still happy and proud to wear.
The presentation was followed with some questions. The main question revolved around
"If I have Defender, should I really replace it with Avast"? I wonder if you can guess my answer?

Happening tonight

"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.

10-17-2020 Brisbug Computer Club, Australia - Remote

This evening, I did my remote presentation for the members of the Brisbug Computer Club.
This presentation is for their 10:30 AM timeslot on 10-18-2020. There's quite a time difference.
This is one of those times when I would love to have been there in person.
A small but lively group that asked quite a few questions.
One of the questions was "How do I change from AVG to Avast." Simple answer, "You don't".

Since this for me was a historic adventure and triumph because I've been trying to do a presentation for this club for quite some time,
I taped the entire show. My actual presentation is only about 45 min. as you can see here, https://youtu.be/7DZGhfPCKE4
