Scammer??

[WillyCamaro]

Willy, excellent advice. I have used vpn for years. I use Nord. Norton and McAfee aren’t very effective. I use Avast. Also, I purchased my own internet domain ($15 a year) for my email to reduce spam. It also allows you aliases so my main address is only for friends. If I purchase anything online I use an alias. Goes to same mailbox but in separate folder so I can delete all the spam. For encrypted email I recommend Proton mail. It’s not only free but based in Switzerland which has strict privacy laws. The also store nothing on their servers !

Oscar, what do you think I'm here on...

10/10 recommend Proton!
Their integrated suite of privacy focused VPN/Email/Drive/Encryption is the best in the biz. Their main servers are buried 300ft below the Swiss alps.
Even @ the end of the world, they'll still be ticking along fine.


Norton's crap! We in tech always recommend you steer clear of them, they log your data...

Nords ok, Express is ok.

Bitdefender has a new VPN out, I have to see how well it integrates with the security.

Malwarebytes is very good anti-virus. Highly recommendable!

My personal favorite, what I recommend, & what I deal: Bitdefender
They're literally the best in the world,
@ Extremely fair prices!

Honestly, as long as you go anything better than free Avast/Norton, you should be good.

You just want to make sure it comes with internet protection. Because that's your first line of defense against baddies. Email security is also a nice kick.

Thanks Willy ! I was unaware that Proton has a suite of mail encryption and vpn and drive encryption. I’m going to buy bitdefender on your recommendation. I also use a firewall.
You can’t get enough protection in this day and age. I use DuckDuckGo for search engine and no Google. They are the worst choice.

And to add to that, Ghostery is the best anti-tracking/add blocker out there. They have the browser, Dawn, that they're trying to make inroads into the market with.
They've built themselves around privacy, the exact opposite of ole googlie.

P.S.
I don't use Dawn any more thou, I just stick with the browser extension on Edge, works as good as a private browser.

I got a PM too. Didn't reply.
I sensed trouble.

Question for you Willy, I use Apple not Microsoft. One feature I like is each app informs you of data that they collect within the app’s description. I only load those I need that specify No Data Collected. Of course it may not be true. I don’t want any app that essentially spies on you. Many are granted access to contacts, purchases etc and of course they sell your information. One I looked at was a photo enhancer. Of course it needs access to your photos but under data collected, it lists contacts, financial information, usage and storage. Obviously I didn’t install it. Is there anything you know of to prevent an app from harvesting your personal data ? Thanks

Off the top of my head, the only thing I think you can do, is run a virtual machine. Other than that, I don't know.

It basically boils down to, that when you click the button, you're consenting to them collecting your information. There is no such thing as free apps, you're paying for them with your data.

A big thank you for all you do as an admin, Phil. That did indeed seem like a particularly insipid scammer.
