From the Mailbag - 11/02/2022

CLARENCE is worried that he somehow got hacked. He got an email receipt saying that he renewed a subscription for $200. Help!


You probably were NOT hacked.


Definitely check your credit/debit cards to make sure. Call the bank(s) ASAP if you see any strange and/or unexpected charges. But do NOT reply to that email either way. This sounds like a phishing scam. The bad guys are trying to get to you respond so they can steal personal data from you. Responding to that email in any way is a bad idea.

RACQUEL has a Samsung Galaxy A51 5G on Verizon Wireless. She wants to know whether she can share her phone's Internet connection with her laptop?


Yes you can. You are on the 5G Get More Plan, which allows for 50GB of data at max speed and unlimited data at much slower speeds after that. You will need to go into your phone's settings to turn on hotspot. Click HERE for a how-to video.

YOUSEF wants to know which antivirus is better, Kaspersky or Norton?


They offer similar protection but Kaspersky has fewer false positives. Go with Kaspersky.
