A Fall Checklist for New England Homes
Before the Quiet Corner turns cold, a few weekend jobs keep your home safe, warm and ready for winter storms.
Choosing Security Software for Your Household
Most security suites protect against the same core threats. The differences are in how many devices they cover and what extras they include.
Count your devices
Add up the computers, phones and tablets in your home. A plan that covers them all is usually better value than several single licenses.
Decide which extras matter
- A VPN for public Wi-Fi.
- A password manager.
- Cloud backup for important files.
- Parental controls.
Keep it light
If you have an older computer, look for software known for a light footprint so it doesn’t slow things down.
Don’t forget the basics
Security software works best alongside automatic updates, strong unique passwords and two-step sign-in on email and banking.
