I have been using computers for years. The computers are swell, it is the programmers that write programs that are designed to make you think they are needed.
I used to use Avast and AVG free but was offered free Norton by comcast for all my computers. Never could get it to work on this lap top. I just got a notice that the free Norton was going away so now they want me to buy it. I did a lot of research and what I have found is the windows defender is rated the best and it is free.
My real gripe is search engines that won't search on my terms. I was just searching for an old OB for a woman named Wilda. There must not be a word Wilda in the computers vocabulary because all I got was results for "Wanda"
Searching for things in a store inventory is even worse. Search for a 3/4" black pipe elbow and you might get 2,000 listings starting with 3 " black PVC pipe 10 foot and ending with 4 foot awning, black and somewhere in the results are your item, so I just go to ebay because at least they really want you to buy something and try to keep the merchandise related somewhat to your search.
As for self check out I just tell the helper that is there that I don't get a paycheck from the store so please check me out. No helper, I would leave, but I have never ran into that situation. I use the new curbside pickups as much as possible. Home Depot and Tractor supply are really fast at filling the order and getting the order ready fast. Walmart needs to go back to the days when Sam was living and demanded the customer was treated like they should be.
The phrase for ineptness is now "Due to Covid we xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx " and the real text instead of the gibberish should read Due to Covid we really don't have to care about customer service. I feel rudeness is running rampant using the virus as an excuse.
Hopefully things will improve
