Help me secure my online activityQ: I fell for a scam online. I'm now all set up with antivirus, but I know I need to take security more seriously. Should I get a VPN? If so, which one? A: I vote yes. A VPN will add another layer of security. I've tried lots of options over the years, some good and some really bad. Most of them are slow as molasses, and all the free options are total junk. You need a VPN that keeps you safe without slowing you down. ExpressVPN does just that. |
