Can an employer trace an unknown number?
Not looking for anyone criticizing me or anything, just looking for a straight answer. I have a job that requires I answer phones all day. I've been calling my work number from my home phone as an unknown number. My boss just asked me why I'm getting so many unknown calls and said he might contact a phone provider to see where they're coming from. Can phone providers see this information and if so, are they able to give the information to my employer? Frankly, I need to know whether or not I need to start looking for another job, so any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

Why doesn't MS create a virus immune OS like Apple?
Favorite Answer:No system is immune. We are looking at payout. The most used O.S. is going to get hacked into first. Apple is on top of it with its programmers to keep viruses out.
M$ for the longest time were asking 3rd parties to supply the AntiVirus programs as M$ did not want to write it, so access was gained into the system. Thus the fun began.

INFORMATION ON COMPUTER?
I was placing an order online and before I could place my name and address it was already there. so it looks like information is already on my computer. I 've never ordered from this company before. I was told by someone this happens and it would be best to remove it from the computer because they didn't think it's safe. I can't find a way to delete it. Any suggestions or information thanks

Will my anti-virus subscription still renew?
I have Norton 360 Ant-virus software installed on my PC. But my subscription will expire in July 2021. I couldn't figure out how to stop the auto-renew feature on the program. But I'm not too worried about it because I'm retiring my PC next week and building a new one. Will my anti-virus subscription still auto-renew for that device on my Norton account?

Do average users know that making up long complicated passwords that you can't remember is a waste of time?
Favorite Answer:True -- most people aren't worth hacking, except for small things like credit card data, and even that's small time and hardly worth the effort.
And, once they are into a company's network, their data and info is easy to get, if they are there.
Better to not have a computer anyways.
