6-24-2015 Ocean Hills Computer Club - Oceanside CA


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) 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 just returned from the APCUG Technology Conference which was held in Las Vegas NV this year:

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.
