Computer Talk: Malware In Pirated Streaming Devices? (4/27/19) - Part 2

View descriptionShare

A listener has an issue with possible unauthorized access to his Gmail account on his Samsung tablet; we show you how to set up "two factor authentication" to increase security and help prevent unauthorized access to his Gmail account by following instructions on our website. We help a user lower his Comcast cable bill by purchasing his modem directly instead of renting from Comcast. A Windows 7 user wonders what he will need to do after security updates for Windows 7 will stop in January 2020. This month's April 2019 update wreaks havoc with many antivirus programs. We counsel a listener to stop using the third-party Samsung mail application to access his e-mail and use Google's own Gmail application to access his email in order to avoid potential security and/or privacy issues. We explain the dangers of using pirated streaming devices to access the Internet to a listener, plus give advice on how to set up the legitimate Amazon Fire TV stick device. Also we discuss the differences between the free YouTube and the paid YouTube TV service, as well as discuss the use and requirements for some home automation devices like "smart" locks. A caller in rural Ellington, Connecticut has no WiFi and discusses his Internet connection options using cellular service for the connection. A user wishing to "cut the cable" wonders what the minimum speed he needs to purchase from the cable company. Also, we counsel against using two anti-virus products at the same time; only one anti-virus product is needed to for adequate protection against computer viruses.
