    Well worth watching. And noteworthy that he does not mention added anti-malware software at all. Simply not needed in most cases.

    An excellent presentation!

    Thank you. :-)

    You are welcome.

    *ONE* setting to make any device more secure ... never switch it on! ;-)

    Spackle! If there is a port to anywhere outside the computer, spackle
    over it. Power, USB, Ethernet, ventilation openings, the works; spackle
    over it.

    Disclosure: I got this from John McAfee, when he was still a funny guy,
    many years before he became strange and dangerous and insane and an international fugitive and dead. He ran a dialup BBS in Santa Clara, California, and threw monthly pizza parties for his BBSers. Too bad what
    he became eventually.

    Might reduce usage a bit.

    But saves electricity as well. ;-)

    Plus, it will continue doing what it's doing indefinitely, without
    needing to install constant updates. ;-)
