IT Stuff
About time I posted some IT stuff, as I am an IT professional, after all!! Ok, so some basics, in my opinion, about looking after your ‘puter :
1. Get good antivirus that also has antispyware. You get what you pay for – and yes, some of the free versions have let nasties in!
2. Be careful about clicking pop up messages that appear suddenly, especially if other things are not working properly. It may be a false warning and on clicking that warning you may end up inadvertently installing malware on your ‘puter.
3. Be careful of something called ‘antivirus live’ It looks like an antivirus program, and may tell you all kinds of things are wrong and then prompts you to buy it. DON”T buy it or click any messages. Instead, go to a site such as http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-antivirus-live to see how to remove this nasty spyware.
4. Be careful about downloads, opening attachments etc etc.
5. If all else fails, then get good IT help to remove the problem.
