I spent this afternoon remotely with the members of Bits & Bytes.
The cam on the laptop used on the computer clubs didn’t work but the presentation went off without any problems.
Lots of laughter during the presentation and quite a few questions after the presentation.
We spent some time doing a hands on explanation of Avast Omni since that was of great interest to the club members.

As the last presentation during this Cyber Security Awareness Month,
it was nice to remotely spend this evening with the members of MICRO.
I was happy to be in my home since in Denver they had about a foot of snow.
During the Q&A that followed the presentation I was asked how Avast makes its money if the product is free.
There were also questions on the Avast SecureLine.

I was happy to be invited and give a Virtual Technology Conference for the
members of APCUG. One of the questions after the presentation related to
Avast Omni. APCUG puts on these conferences four times a year on various
tech related topics. The only qualification for joining requires a membership in
a member club. I’m also a proud member of the APCUG Speakers Bureau.

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

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. [b]https://www.thestug.org/refurb_files/refurb.html[/b]
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.
