Protecting my devices from malware Q: | I use Windows Defender, but what about my phone? Is there a better solution for my computer, too? | A: | My take? You can never be too safe. I prefer a total security suite. TotalAV, a sponsor of my national radio show, is easy to use and offers the best protection in the business. They’ve received the renowned VB100 award for detecting more than 99% of malware samples for the last three years in a row. Their AI-driven Web Shield browser extension blocks dangerous websites automatically, and their Junk Cleaner can help you quickly clear out your old files. Get an annual plan of TotalAV Internet Security for only $19 at ProtectWithKim.com. That's over 85% off! |

Choosing a home security system Q: | What would you suggest for home security for a 55+ disabled woman on a budget with no computer and little tech knowledge? What kind of features should I look for? | A: | You want two things: One, you don't need a computer to access and second, professional monitoring. I recommend SimpliSafe. It's super easy to set up, easy to use and you don't need a computer or Wi-Fi for basic home security. Cellular-based monitoring is included in the monitoring price. That will cost you $14.99 per month. There are no contracts, so you can pause or cancel at any time. For a limited time, get a free security camera, 20% off + a free month of monitoring. |

How can I choose new tech? Q: | Well, it finally happened. My old PC just can't handle my new work-from-home life. I run a small business, and I know a few of my employees are in the same boat. Where should I start picking new desktops? | A: | If you're not a total tech geek, figuring out what to spend your money on is seriously stressful. I could tell you a few models to check out (we use Dell Optiplex and Precision at Komando HQ), but really, you need help finding the right models for you and your business. Dell Technologies Advisors can guide you. They have financing options, too, and can help you get everything set up correctly. Call 877-ASK-DELL or visit Dell.com to find technology that can help your small business. |

Did you know you can borrow cash from your home at a low rate? Whether you need funds for a home project, a life event, or to pay off other forms of debt, accessing the equity in your home through a cash-out refinance may be your best approach. A cash-out refinance is a lump sum of cash taken out of your home equity, paid back through your new mortgage payment. You might even be surprised, many Americans are refinancing with a cash-out refinance and seeing their monthly payments drop. Compare rates with LendingTree.
