Protecting Your Digital Life Presented by Bob Gostischa
Our security and privacy are constantly in danger of being attacked from many sources. Staying secure and guarding as much of our privacy as possible is a constant challenge. This presentation will cover how we can protect our computers (Windows and Mac), tablets, smartphones, and other smart devices. Join presenter Bob Gostischa as he explains the importance of guarding our online presence. He'll also share what he uses to keep his computers, smart devices as well as connected Internet of Things devices secure. Norbert "Bob" Gostischa, after a successful career in banking, enjoys his retirement as an enthusiastic IT security expert, most notably for Avast Software s.r.o., the global leader in cybersecurity products. The most known product is Avast Antivirus.
In 2016, Avast purchased AVG Technologies and in 2017 Avast bought Piriform (Ccleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, and Speccy).
Avast has been making security software for over 30 years and has more than 400 million users worldwide. Avast prevents 2 billion malware attacks every month. Avast Antivirus is the most used antivirus software in the world.
The Avast website has a discussion and help forum, where Bob has been helping with security-related and general computer issues since 2004. He has contributed over 38,000 forum interactions. Bob's presentations are free-of-charge and are not a sales pitch for Avast, although mentioning Avast and their software in your announcements is appreciated. You can learn more about Bob's presentations and passions in his Blog and YouTube Channel. Bob is a proud member of the APCUG Speakers Bureau.

Arlington Meeting Info & Maps
HAVE YOUR COMPUTER QUESTIONS ANSWERED!
The program planners for our First Wednesday PATACS meetings in Arlington are looking for topics that members would like to have explored or questions answered - this is your opportunity to have a say in subjects addressed at this meeting. This is a smaller meeting than the Fairfax meeting, and it allows for much more interaction between members than is possible in Fairfax. And – there's the post-meeting Pizza and Salad SIG, the post-meeting social at a nearby restaurant - another value-added feature of your membership! Please send your suggestions to our meeting program planners at arlmtgpgm@patacs.org. |
