EARLY RETIREMENT
Do my readers know that they can launch popular browsers, such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and other popular programs from their flash drive (USB) by using a Windows app that can be downloaded for free?
You can get it from https://PortableApps.com
If you use SanDisk, you can password-protect your disk as well. With the flash drive, you can take it with you, instead of your laptop, and use it on a computer where you can find one. You do, however, have to download and “Install SanDisk Software” directly into your SanDisk. And you launch your browser and other Portable Apps from the USB disk, and not directly from your PC. Isn't that amazing? With the Portable Apps hackers can do little, or nothing, to damage your computer. If you should have any problems, all you need to do is reformat your USB disk, scan with your antivirus, delete every file that you see that has to do with the Portable Apps, and reinstall a new Portable Apps from the web. Remember to donate to Portable App.
And if you want to protect your USB with an encrypted password, you have to download a software called “PrivateAccess-win” to your SanDisk. You do not have to use your browser that comes pre-installed with your laptop.
You can also download, install, and run the popular Tor browser from your flash drive.

Have you heard about Protonmail? Most e-mail software does not use a security key to keep hackers out. In other words, if they know our passwords, they can open our email and read or change the information that is stored there. A security key installed in your Protomail will stop anyone from opening your mail account unless they have access to your physical computer or security key. I no longer use my phone to recover lost passwords and things like that. All go to my Protonmail. It's free. You can buy a Yubikey for $25.00 if you want, but it is not necessary with Protonmail. You can upgrade your Protonmail if you wish so you can use their VPN.
Finally, you are doing hackers a big favor. They don't have to wait until they are 55 or 65 years of age to retire. They can retire early, thanks to you!
