Protecting your Computer

In today's rapidly-changing digital age, it is absolutely crucial to actively seek out proven methods of protecting your computer, your data and your identity.

This section of our website will share with you programs and sites that have worked very well for us over many years.

Firewalls are essential to help prevent hackers from intruding into your computer and files, especially if you have a dedicated connection to the Internet (DSL or Cable).

AntiVirus programs help you keep your computer free of viruses that circulate throughout the Internet every day. Even a computer that is not connected to the Internet can become infected with a virus from a floppy disc or CD borrowed from a friend. Every computer needs an antivirus program installed on it.

SpyWare comes in many forms and may or may not be a threat to your privacy. Some simply collect information for anonymous demographic data, but others can contain call-home script that can be an invasion of privacy and a threat to your identity and/or security. Either way, just a few of these little programs can dramatically affect the performance of your computer.

High security passwords are an absolute necessity when accessing any login on the Internet today. Your User ID and Password are the only two things keeping hackers from accessing any of the secure sites you visit on the Internet. Your mother's maiden name for every site just doesn't hack it (sorry for the pun) anymore! You need a better way to create a unique, high security password for each site and a way to recall it each time you visit that site. We have the ultimate solution. Just click on Passwords here or near the top of the left column.

When you do run into a PC problem, where do you go? Assuming you can still access the Internet, you can obtain some Diagnosis assistance online.

As we discover more beneficial websites, we will add them here, so stop back occasionally to look for updates.
