The Troubles with Kaspersky
Some of my clients have expressed
concern about using Kaspersky software due to news reports depicting Kaspersky
in a bad light.
I believe to this day Kaspersky's
software products offer good security against hacking and malware.
However, there is some concern about
Kaspersky's collusion with the Russian government and being overly intrusive
on customers' computers.
If you're interested in moving away
from Kaspersky or need to install better security software to replace what you
have now, here are some options.
Other options
If you’re willing to pay for security
software, I’m currently recommending ESET. (Disclosure: I’m a reseller for
their products.) As for free software, I’d recommend BitDefender for Mac and
Avira for Windows. The free Malwarebytes is decent too; their paid version even
better.
Note: Be careful about installing too
many security software products. I’d recommend no more than two, because more than that can cause conflicts and bugger up your computer.
First line of security is you!
The frontline of security is actually
you, the user. So educate yourself on best practices for keeping safe online.
Here’s a good site to check out on
that topic, whether you’re a senior or not: https://safeandsecureonline.org/seniors
Happy Thanksgiving!
