This afternoon’s presentation for the club members was well received.
I know they liked the jokes since I heard the laughs.
In the Q&A after the presentations, there was an interest in Avast Omni
and one member wanted to know what the price was for the Avast Secure Browser.
(No, I didn’t accept his credit card.) The product is Free.

One of the club members was testing his iPhone 11 Pro Max.
I took the pictures and videos he sent an made this small movie.
Sometimes it’s nice to see what those that I present too remotely actually see on their end.

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.

This evening I remotely traveled to Rochester and spent about one hr.
With the members of the RCSI.
We spent quite a bit of time after the presentation talking about 2 factor authentication and,
the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) like the Avast SecureLine.

The moderator, presenter and audience survived and enjoyed the presentation.
An extensive Q&A session followed after the presentation.

Today I spent a little more than an hour with the members of this club.
The camera was rotated so I was able to meet all the club members. There were some comments as to how nice
a ZOOM remote presentation is and how well everything can bee seen and they liked the clarity of the audio,

I was helping an Avast user after a presentation in San Diego, CA

By the way, that computer is still in use today although it’s no longer enjoying a starring role. :slight_smile:

The club found out on Fri. that the center where they hold their meetings
would be closed do to the Columbus Day holiday.
Not wanting to cancel the scheduled meeting, the clubs president decided to use ZOOM
to have their members connect from their homes.
The attendance wasn’t as large as it would have been at the regular meeting place but,
those that attended enjoyed the evening and, I was told, learned a lot.
We even had a hands on demo on Avast newest product, Avast Omni.
@Avast, look out for some new Omni customers from Santa Clarita.

10-17-2019 Modesto PCUG - Modesto, CA

https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1571400048960-55983.png

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. [b]https://youtu.be/z15dxvWQrfc[/b]

https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1571502024778-70512.png

This mornings presentation was for the NNCUG 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 also does an excellent job of protecting you against Phishing

This afternoon I addressed the members of the ECOTUC.
I’ve been a member of this club for quite a few years because they pass along so much

Applying a credit freeze.

This evenings presentation for the PPCUG 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.
