we live in a world that doesn't slow down it doesn't stop moving and it's
always advancing technology has undergone so many changes in just these
last few years it's terrifying in a way to think about what the future holds
while many of these advancements are life changing positive breakthroughs
there's a negative to all of this a lot of the universe states that for every
positive action there's an opposite but equal negative reaction as our
technology advances so do the modern threats that have the potential to not
only set us back but ruin our lives and in serious cases steal them that's why
I've partnered with BitDefender to raise your awareness on why it's critical that
in 2019 you should be using some type of cyber security protection and in
specific a reputable one the advancements in malware viruses worms
adware spyware ransomware BOTS rootkits Trojan horses and bugs is at an all-time
high what many people don't realize is that your computer isn't the only thing
that is at risk while Google has gotten better over the last few years at
monitoring the apps that are available in the Play Store it's still not the
greatest and safest platform when it comes to apps containing spyware
ransomware and other cyber security threats I'll leave a link with more
information on this specific topic down in the description unfortunately there's
not a lot of safe anti-virus apps available in the Play Store which is why
many sites including myself recommend using BitDefender mobile security when
it comes to your computer or your laptop keeping your files safe is or shall I
say should be at the top of your priority list
now many computers do come with some type of pre-installed antivirus
protection however if you choose to use this in solely this you're opening your
system up to many vulnerabilities because it's been proven over and over
again that this type of antivirus protection leave several holes for
potential threats these vulnerabilities often occur by clicking on malicious
sites and email messages or social media messages visiting compromised websites
inserting an infected USB flash drive or not securely deleting your files
when it comes to cybersecurity there's a few things that you need to remember
operating system and application vulnerabilities make it easy for cyber
criminals to install malware on your computer this means that it's vital for
you to install security updates as soon as they become available
cyber criminals often make use of social engineering to trick you into doing
something that jeopardizes the safety of you or the company you work for phishing
emails are one of the most common causes of this potential threat think about all
the emails that you get saying they need your personal information because you've
won a large sum of money or they want you to click on a link due to a
potential vacation you might have one stay away from that through these
attacks confidential information such as passwords are a key target so that way
the malware can capture them as they're typed it's also very important that
you're using it fifteen character passwords and they should consist of
letters numbers and different characters and it's also important to make sure you
update and change your passwords frequently the problem with
pre-installed antivirus software is the lack of advanced features plus scanning
outside of typical OS based operation and also stock OS applications also
these particular applications are typically heavy and system resources
meaning that they could potentially slow your computer down in the long run this
is why not only am ia user a BitDefender total security 20:19 I'm a major
advocate and I'm not the only one there are over 500 million users of
BitDefender solutions worldwide they're the winners of the av-test awards for
best protection best performance and best repair all of these awards have
added up to make BitDefender the best-in-class cross-platform security
solution so remember when I was talking about all of the issues with
pre-installed antivirus software or even worse the lack thereof well these are
the reasons why I use BitDefender total security 2019 and how it can pretty much
solve all of those problems there's an advanced file shredder to safely remove
confidential information leaving for cyber criminals to get a hold of I
love the fact that it has a built-in password manager that suggests passwords
for use with each website and it safely stores them so I don't have to remember
them it will also prompt me when it's time to
update or change my passwords the security browser built within
bitdefender's software allows protection against website vulnerabilities and
phishing the built in virtual keyboard is brilliant as it protects against
hackers tracking inputted keys as you type the included VPN software protects
against Network vulnerabilities when on public networks this has saved me many
times while at coffee shops or when traveling especially outside of the US
the vulnerability scanner goes beyond a system-wide scan and dives deep into
your web browser email application and connected drives built-in file
encryption makes for secure storage of confidential information which adds an
additional layer of protection to the documents and information that means the
most to me it's two-way firewall for not only incoming data but outgoing data
really reduces a security breach on all of my systems built-in webcam protection
so I can finally stop wasting stickers in tape one of the coolest things is the
fact that I have anti-theft on each of my devices that the software is
installed on finally one of my favorite things is how lightweight this software
is I've never noticed any performance issues while using BitDefender total
security 2019 and to go one step further there's a built-in system optimizer to
ensure my computer is running at tip-top shape
Daniel price is extremely competitive considering how much you're actually
getting BitDefender has sales all the time so if you're wanting exact pricing

for a limited amount of time BitDefender and myself want to give you three free
months of total security 2019 so you can see why I'm crazy for it and also 500
million users are choosing BitDefender to protect their assets if you run a
business and make a living using your computer or have priceless information
stored that is irreplaceable and don't have any form a cyber security
protection it's time you think about the potential danger you're putting you your
family and your I've always been pretty naive when it
comes to cybersecurity awareness until a few years back when my computer became
infected and I lost all of my pre-wedding wedding and honeymoon images
of my wife and I I also received a negative mark on my credits which I had
to dispute along with random credit-card charges for various flights website
domains and other random charges this was a major wake-up call for me and it
really scared me this is something I take very seriously because one stupid
mistake can cost you everything so here's something about me that you
probably didn't know I have a really hard time trusting people with anything
it doesn't matter if it's a pain I'll let you borrow or if you're watching my
beloved dog while I go on vacation so for me to put the tools that I use to
generate an income in order to supply for my family and the hands of someone
else is not only tough it's extremely hard it's almost like hiring a virtual
bodyguard to protect you and honestly at this point I don't trust any other
antivirus solution outside of BitDefender solutions it's a personal
preference short but it's based off my own personal experience that I've
developed with them if you glorious individuals to have any questions go
