For some unknown reason, I expected Windows to be on the list. 😅
about kaspersky we need more info. News papers always play a game to bring Russia down. Tell me which news paper have good critisism to Russia?!!
also the govt data you mentioned on Kaspersky is perticularly from USA. who ever reading this comment must know, USA govt/politics is a joke to whole world. and CIA FBI also work with Govt.
Kaspersky: when the U.S government says not to; I want to because it is finding things they don’t want people to know about.
I still use media player classic
I'll check if i still have Zoom installed if so I'll uninstall it and close my account
Very useful info! Thank you very much! Brett.
Hello, I am grateful for your attention and your time in producing this interesting video.
Pot Player is the best media player hands down without question.
Kaspersky is fine. Don't let ridiculous political reasons scare you.
Thanks I didnt know that about Greenshot a client of the company I work for uses it.
Switched to bit defender . It’s excellent.
wow – Thanks for the MPC-BE recommendation – great
Just because the US has banned Kaspersky, that wouldn't influence my choice to use it, as it has a very good reputation.

Hello again, Brett in Tech
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I can count on your straight to the point style. That I can appreciate. Again thank you 😆
I switched to 1Password Manager. It's a great alternative to Bitwarden
Many organizations use Zoom and Zoombombing is still an issue
Kaspersky used to come installed with new PCs you bought at the store
Software piracy is not stealing. Stealing an apple is stealing.
3:18 Sadly, my appointments require zoom every few months
The only ting I would recommend downloading from IObit is Sysinfo the rest has malware…
Revo uninstaller
Excellent update and another video that I have to send to others for viewing. Thanks Brett! 👍👍
Brett, what do you think of Total Defense ? I've always been a little suspicious of Kaspersky. Recently I had my pc in the shop. and the owner told me he only uses Total Defense. He put it on my machine and I love it. It replaces decades of relying on Norton, which is very expensive these days. Total Defense was $75.
Video. Jitsi is the best option I have found. Free, open source, works from a web browser (has apps too if you so prefer) and respects your privacy without being in the way of your workflow.
What is wrong with zoom….oh, its China, offcourse 😂😂🎉🎉
Very informative. Appreciate your opinion.
i use MPC-HC.2.3.3.x64 and black edition and vlc and yes i use ccleaner been using since 2010 no issues atm
Appreciate the info Brett.
If not for kaspersky we would never have known that our own government was cyber attacking us while blaming it on the russians. I ain't afraid to use Kaspersky it's good it's always been good an pretty much every computer repair tech over the last 20 years has used Kaspersky products daily.Kaspersky Av, rescue disc, Tdskiller, and online scanner are all good tools an have saved many a computer. Today Kaspersky and before you know it all antivirus will be banned over the same fear as kaspersky. Our current corrupt leaders are so paranoid that they will eventually be wanting us to believe that every AV out there is being used by one country or another to spy on america. When they want you to believe that you should be more paranoid about an AV than about who is entering your country by the thousands you know something ain't right!
Just FYI: What you called U-torrent is in error, the symbol used is the Greek letter mu which is used by math and science to indicate "micro" so the proper name is "Micro-torrent".
Any time that VLC won't play a file. MPC HC ALWAYS works. So I will keep it.
Otherwise great video. Thanks. 🙂
Alternative torrent app for Macs – Transmission!
MPC-HC project is open source and it simply changed hands. It's last update was on July 18th. It is hosted on Techspot Downloads and is on version 2.3.3.
