3-28-2022 Golden Gate Computer Society, CA – Remote

I spent a part of yesterday evening  with the members of the GGCS.
The presentation was well received and the main discussion
after the presentation centered around Avast SecureLine.
There was also a question about installing a third party AV
if Microsoft Defender is already running. I wish all questions were this
easy to answer. Defender shuts down when you install Avast One
or any other third party Antivirus software.

I was happy to do my presentation this AM with the members of CIPCUG
This was a hybrid meeting with some members attending
in person and some joining us via Zoom as I did.
It was a very enjoyable meeting where hopefully every one
learned something.
In the Q&A that followed the presentation I was asked some questions
about Avast SecureLine and we also had a discussion about the
current Cyber Security landscape.
The jokes at the end of the presentation were appreciated and,
brought some smiles to the faces of those that attended.

still doing business with Russia. Maybe it’s time to boycott those companies
that put profit ahead of decency?
