March General Meeting Program:

Avast: Protecting yourself and your identity online
It’s common wisdom that avoiding suspicious web-based content and especially ‘dodgy’ websites will keep you safe on the Internet. Unfortunately, that sort of information is ‘old and outdated technology’. Internet security (protecting both your computer and your identity online) can, however, be demystified. This presentation focuses on normal computer users, rather than “IT geeks,” and clearly explains security myths, Internet dos and don’ts, the evolution of computer threats, and more. Join presenter Bob Gostischa, as he simplifies, clarifies, and demystifies
your computer, making your Internet experience a safe one and explaining why even AARP recommends avast!

 Norbert “Bob” Gostischa, after a successful career in banking, enjoys his retirement as an enthusiast IT security expert, most notably for Avast Software, the creator of avast antivirus software. The avast website has a discussion and help forum, where Bob has been helping with security-related issues since 2004, having contributed over 15,000 forum interactions. Avast  is one of the most popular antivirus softwares in the world. Avast has been making security software for over 20 years and has
more than 160 million users worldwide.
