In Our Community

Just a reminder that November 2nd is the Marseilles  Ambulance Food Drive. If you live in Marseilles leave your food on the porch or by your front door, and they will pick it up. Or you can drop off at the Marseilles Ambulance or at the food pantry.

They are in great need of donations:

This time of year they could use soups, chili, Beef Stew, sloppy Joe, pastas, vegetables, fruit, spices, baking items, sugar, flour, stuffing, Hamburger Helper type things, and breakfast foods! 

Thank you!!!

Do I still need Antivirus in 2024? The short answer is yes, but that is not enough these days. Antivirus software has evolved to include protection against spyware, ransomware, phishing, and much more. With so many options available, it can be hard to choose the best one. When comparing options, look at the features and do not forget to take advantage of multi-license opportunities to save some cash. Households now have multiple laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, so it is important to protect them all. My top two choices are Sophos Home and TotalAV Antivirus Pro.

Don’t fall prey to this election season’s frauds, from voter registration scams, robocalls, donation scams, and fake surveys and petitions. It’s a good reminder to protect yourself now and year-round:

• Never click on unsolicited links.  If it 

  looks suspicious, delete it.

• Robocalls are becoming more realistic, 

  so proceed with extreme caution if the 

  caller is asking for money or any 

  sensitive information.  It’s best to 

  hang up.

• Do not trust caller IDs since scammers 

  can spoof legitimate numbers.  It is 

  always best to hang up, or if you feel it is 

  legitimate, directly contact the business 

  or office they are claiming to be.

• Survey or poll calls should not request 

  sensitive data like your social security 

  number.  Also, decline participation if a 

  survey or poll offers a prize.
