Looking for the right software

QuickBooks isn't cutting it for my business anymore. I have a lot to manage, and I need some software that can help me. All my online searching hasn't gotten me very far. Any recommendations? I need inventory management help, too, for what it's worth.

Sounds like you're drowning in spreadsheets. Stop paying for multiple systems that don’t give you the information you need when you need it. It’s time to upgrade to NetSuite by Oracle, the world’s No. 1 cloud business system. NetSuite gives you visibility and control over your financials, HR, inventory, e-commerce and more — all in one place — instantaneously.

Want to check it out? Let NetSuite show you how they’ll benefit your business with a free product tour at NetSuite.com/Kim.

Do I need antivirus software?

I have Windows Defender enabled. Do I need more protection than that? I get your emails, and I see how sneaky hackers are now. I would hate to fall for something.

You're smart to ask, and you're on the right track. The more we rely on our devices for work, school and personal lives, the more we have to lose. I recommend you do get extra protection, and my recommendation is TotalAV.

TotalAV’s industry-leading security suite is easy to use and offers the best protection in the business. Not only do you get continuous protection from the latest threats, but its AI-driven Web Shield browser extension blocks dangerous websites automatically, and its Junk Cleaner can help quickly clear out your old files.

Right now, get an annual plan of TotalAV Internet Security for only $19 at ProtectWithKim.com. That’s over 85% off the regular price.

Help, I fell for a scam

I'm embarrassed to say I fell for a phishing scam. It's got me thinking about web security, and I know you recommend VPNs. Which one should I go with?

I've tried lots of options over the years — some good and some really bad. Honestly, most of them are slow as molasses. You need a VPN that keeps you safe without slowing you down. ExpressVPN does just that.

It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes. All that without sacrificing speed. That’s why I love it!

Get the same protection I trust and use. Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim to get 3 months free with a 12-month subscription.

Streaming tip: Get your money's worth with ExpressVPN

You know what’s not fair? Netflix hides thousands of shows and movies from you based on your location and then has the nerve to increase prices yet again. Make sure you’re getting your full money’s worth by using ExpressVPN.

What’s on Netflix in the U.S. is completely different from what someone in the U.K. or Japan has on theirs. ExpressVPN has over 90 countries to choose from, so every time you run out of stuff to watch, just switch to another country to unlock new shows.

Stop paying full-price for streaming services and only getting access to a fraction of their content.
