Almost every tech gadget we use in our daily lives has some sort of microchip inside it. TVs, thermostats and even toasters rely on microchips to work efficiently. Microchips are made using sand, but how do we go from a pile of grains to a tiny little computer? The answer? With a ton of work.

The more we rely on our devices for work, school and our personal lives, the more we have to lose. Whether it’s bank accounts, personal data, photos, conversations — there’s just so much to preserve and protect. That’s why I recommend TotalAV’s industry-leading security suite. It’s easy to use and offers the best protection in the business. In fact, they’ve received the renowned VB100 award for detecting more than 99% of malware samples for the last three years in a row.

Not only do you get continuous protection from the latest threats, but their AI-driven service, WebShield, blocks dangerous websites automatically, stopping threats before they reach you. Plus, you can subscribe to data breach alerts and clear out old files with the Junk Cleaner.
