AITP Meeting

WEDNESDAY, Coco's, Garden Grove, April 25th, 2012 , 7pm

Protecting yourself and your identity online

by Bob Gostischa, representing AVAST anti- virus:

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 Unfortunately, that sort of information is ‘old and outdated technology’.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!

 

About the presenter:
