Re: [LegacyUG] Comparing commercial websites

[Gordon Small]

I watched most of the video. Since I've been researching for ~13 years most
of the info confirmed what I suspected to be true but I found it VERY
informative and would recommend it to new researchers.

Re:CE WOODS: I can't fault CE for not clicking on a link that McAfee says
is "evil". I use McAfee and occasionally I get those messages too and
unless I know for an absolute fact that the site is safe and I've checked
that the link is what I expect it to be I wouldn't go there either. In the
case of the link in this thread I did not get a warning. Be safe.

VIPRE is a top-rated anti-virus program. It has no problem with the link.

Obviously, you have never been held for ransom, or you would never go to a site 
about which you have been warned. Many times, the site is trustworthy, but a 
hacker has stolen the link to the trusted website! McAfee picks those up too. 
It is one of the most common sources of being infected.

I have Malwarebytes and Windows Defender on my PC.  Neither one reported any 
issues with the link.  I was able to download the “handout” in PDF format.  I 
removed McAfee from my computer long ago because of the numerous false 
positives.

Re: [LegacyUG] Comparing commercial websites

[Sherry]

I'm not a video watcher either. So many of the ones I've seen could
have been cut down. 5 min is my max and frequently I end up "skimming"
through the videos!

Heck, I have a hard time sitting through my favorite half-hour TV
shows! And forget audio books - my mind starts to wander after the
first sentence!

I'm definitely a reader!

Sometimes AV programs are a little overly aggressive. Avast had no problem

It's well worth getting over your aversion for videos to watch this one - I
hate videos as well but this was worth it.  Watch it on your desktop if you
can to appreciate it fully - otherwise why not watch it at your local
library - a much UNDER utilised resource.
