I figured you had to be in that general area :o) That knowledge must help considerably when evaluating these tech-oriented investments.

This is OT, but with the big ramsomware problem these days, I was wondering if you had some insights into effective ways to avoid becoming a victim of these ransomware attacks? Thanks.

I use Norton/Symantac antivirus supplemented by Malwarebytes Premium, but just curious if there may be better products out there? I was told that since the ransomware has to gain entrance into your backup files, it's best to only do a backup once a day rather than a more frequent or continuous backup. Not allowing general web surfing on one's business system is another obvious way to prevent ransomware, but isn't it also spread via emails?

Thanks for any insights, and sorry for the OT. You probably get asked this ransomeware question a lot :o)
