Serious Coffee Break

Serious coffee breaks are a mandatory part of any working person's day. However, as a Computer Repair Technician it seems to be an even more than usually strong need.

A  new young company called ROASTe seems to have taken that need for coffee and blended it with a convenience that is second to none: to your door delivery.

Now before you talk about this is not a new idea I agree. What makes Roaste so unique is that they can boast to have the largest selection of coffee and supplies. In addition they offer free and fast shipping and even offer you some discounts to help you with your purchases.

Their website is user friendly, has a lot of reviews to make it easy to choose or even experiment with, and a large community of coffee lovers!

It is almost like a serious social coffee break...but without all the people:)

So, back to computer repair, and see you at the next coffee break

The Importance Of An Anti-Virus Program

Every time you purchase a new computer you probably see the Anti Virus that comes standard in your computer. If you are like most people you may be vaguely aware of an opportunity to renew the license for your Anti Virus. If you choose to do nothing, the license will expire and when your Anti-Virus loads a pop-up will tell you to renew. In your haste to get rid of the pop up, you may close the program or even “right click” delete it off the desktop.

What most people do not realize is that “right clicking” the program does not completely remove it from your computer. Even worse, not having Anti-Virus protection is the worse thing that can be done to your computer.

By not having an Anti Virus program you could be helping Viruses that can be stored in your computer. Pictures for instance from those you know, documents, books,games and more can transmit these virus unwillingly. Having an active, and functional Anti-Virus gives your computer an added layer of protection from the tracking cookies, malicious pop-ups,viruses, hacking attempts and more. Making sure your Anti-Virus is running properly is just as important as well.

There are a few Anti-Virus software on the market that offer fully functional computer coverage and are FREE to use.

If you have a version of a expired,unregistered Anti-Virus, or even a Anti-Virus that you do not like using, the best thing to do is to uninstall the program. The correct way to uninstall is to go to “Control Panel” . Within the “Control Panel” look for the option called ”Programs and Features”. Click on that option, allow the window some time to load, search for the particular program you want to uninstall. Click the program to uninstall, and it will highlight. At the top of the window you will see an option to “uninstall”, click that button and follow the onscreen wizard. You also may “right click” the highlighted program, and a option to uninstall will show up as well. Again, follow the on screen wizard. Once you are finished, close “Control Panel” and then you may install your Anti Virus of choice.

Another way to ensure proper uninstall the Anti-Virus is to use a 3^rd party program that uninstalls programs.

If you choose not to have a Anti-Virus, I must say that I strongly advise against it. Technology today, is not that advanced where it will protect itself.

In addition to an Anti Virus, you should have a maintenance program installed that will clean out cookies from browser, search results in the computer, temporary files and more. The two set of programs can control the amount of malicious software, eliminate viruses, and block computer assaults.

If you need yet another reason for having a clear computer cache, a computer as free of cookies, and viruses as possible is a helpful in protecting your computer from hackers, and identification theft among other possible online or data related assaults that can be done to you and your family.

Often times, the accessories are not just "cute things to have", rather are necessities. These accessories may be anything from a specialized mouse, some software or more.

What are the 3 how to's of computer accessories to be the most cost effective, and yet be effective?

1. Choose your accessories at the same time as you buy your computer. The reason for this is because you may need a specific accessory to best benefit from your computer. An example of that is if you are purchasing a specific Operation System, any accessories you may already possess may conflict.

2. Choose accessories that will add quality of work or life. The best accessories are usually the ones that will just make life easier. Such accessories may be digital cameras if you are a real estate agent, or a videographer. Other accessories may be external hard drives, scanners etc.
