First of all, I want to assure you I've not disappeared from the face of the earth. I apologize for being "absent" from these Tech Tips the past two weeks. A family wedding celebration in California followed by having our two granddaughters here with us for 10 days somehow consumed my time AND energy. It was wonderful!
This week I read about recent testing that has been done on different antivirus programs. It was reassuring to find that Avast (the free version) still is the top recommendation for PC users. (If you own a Mac, you do not need to install this program.)
The other interesting thing I learned is that Windows Defender (which comes pre-installed on your computer) has gained a lot of ground and is now ranked as one of the best antivirus programs.
The only drawback to Avast is that there will be occasional pop-ups trying to get you to install additional features or subscribe to the paid version. Don't do it; don't click "yes". The free version is perfectly fine.......as verified by the latest research.
