Avast posts on my Windows 11 computer
Hello, to protect my PC I use the default protection of Windows (Windows Defender) and Avast (for around 15 years). For 2 to 3 years Avast has been increasingly intrusive with messages such as: "your banking data may be exposed, "your connection is not encrypted" etc..., messages with the aim of obviously switching to a paid version. However, I was wondering if these 2 protections are sufficient? what if a VPN could protect my PC even more effectively? (I should point out that I have a VPN but that I do not use it when connecting). Thank you in advance for your answersPrepare windows 11 pc for sale. What Should I do?
Bought a new Windows 11 laptop. For my old Windows 11 PC, I want to make sure I do everything right before handing it over. I know I need to wipe the drives and do a clean install, but I'm not entirely sure about the proper steps to make sure none of my personal data can be recovered. Should I just use the "Reset this PC" feature in Windows, or is there a more thorough method I should be using to prepare windows 11 pc for sale? Also, any tips on handling driver cleanup or making sure the next owner gets a smooth setup experience would be great. I just want to make sure I don't accidentally leave anything behind or cause issues for the buyer. What's the standard process you all follow when selling a machine? Thanks in advance.
