Don't do business with Express VPN! Their service is horrible and the app and VPN are difficult to use. When a problem exists for you or for the company, they take an aggressive approach towards the customer and open a "case" on then and "escalate" it. In other words, they blame you!

The billing and security departments are not keeping the customer's experience in mind; they are making their own needs more important than the customers who are paying the bill and trying to stay anonymous. When a billing question exists, they want all your personal information. In essence, your anonymity is blown. When most companies simply accept or deny a charge based on pre-determined specifications, Express VPN makes an interrogation of it.

Choose another VPN for the list. Some such as Tunnel Bear are affordable and easy to use.

Best Regards,

Microsoft Windows is installed on nearly all new PC computers. It is now using it's access to your computer to take an unfair advantage to sell its products to you.

When you buy a new computer, you'll have Windows 10, the MS Edge Browsers, and a sample of Microsoft Word to use for a trial. If you want to use another browser such as Google Chrome, you'll have to download it.

And the automated setup for Windows 10 requires you to use a password to open your computer. While more and more of us are working remotely either for a company or in our own businesses, it becomes a real inconvenience to have to enter a password every time you turn the computer on, lower the lid while it is still on, or move it from one location to another. This feature can be turned off, but because the files needed for it are no longer available on Windows 10 or the web, it requires a computer computer technician to carry remove it.

Every time you open MS Word, it will prompt you to buy MS Office or Office 365. Then when you save your files on your hard drive or on your computer, it will also save them in Windows One Drive which is cloud storage even though you have not prompted it MS Word to do so. After a very few files are saved, it will prompt you to buy more storage space on One Drive. In this writer's opinion, storing my files and folders unnecessarily in the cloud is a bad idea. Your information can easily be accessed and compromised. And why would you store your files in the cloud, when you can store them on your PC? The cloud seems like an innovative way for companies to make more money off of us.

And with automatic Windows 10 updates downloaded to your computer monthly whether you want them or not, new advertising and promotional schemes are continually being downloaded with them. I can only image what Microsoft will do with complete access to your computer, as it perfects automation and artificial intelligence?

You'll find a selection of alternative PC operating systems, including Mac for Windows, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint available on the internet. Why not save some money, have peace of mind and try an alternative to MS Windows and its other products? Just Say No to Microsoft.
