    I Need a Physical Security Lock for An HP Laptop?

    I have use for a while of an HP Envy 17 laptop. When I'll be using it away in a place where physical security may not be the best, I want to be able to lock the laptop to some immovable stationary object so that it's secure and I won't be worrying about it. The manual, such as it is, shows a...

    Solved Is It safe Now To Use Filezilla?

    I didn't mean for what I wrote to sound as silly as I see now that it sounded - I suppose they wouldn't advertise that they stopped secretly including adware any more 🙄 I'll download it and see if I can tell that it's clean. Thanks for your help.

    Solved Is It safe Now To Use Filezilla?

    Am I understanding correctly that both versions (64 and 32) that are on that page are safe and clean? It doesn't say anything there about "adware".

    Solved Is It safe Now To Use Filezilla?

    I know a while ago there was a problem with Filezilla being infected with malware and there were warnings around about installing it. Is that still the situation or have they fixed it and it's safe now to install and use it?

    Solved Are there security Concerns With A Wireless mouse and with a wireless keyboard?

    Thanks - but what about someone stealing the signal between the mouse or keyboard and computer and getting the keys pressed - e.g. passwords?

    Solved Are there security Concerns With A Wireless mouse and with a wireless keyboard?

    I realize this is probably a naive question as these devices have been around a long time but I've just started to use a wireless mouse (Logitech M705 marathon). It's convenient but are there security concerns with it? I'm considering also adding a Logitech wireless keyboard so I'll ask the same...

    Solved Looking For thoughts and experience On Different VPNs

    I just tried posting this and it disappeared while I was editing it so I'm doing it all again. I have not used VPN because of my concern about privacy/security, and to a lesser degree because of potential big drop in speed. I'm rethinking that it may be best now to have VPN and would appreciate...
