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.

3 Easy Steps To Childproof Your Computer

With the constant necessary use of the computer, and internet safety for children use can often be overlooked. Everyone knows to teach computer safety, and just about every child knows to "be safe" but what can you as a parent do to childproof your computer in case your child forgets?

             These are 3 easy steps you can use to childproof your computer:

1. Block any appropriate areas of the computer and or internet.If you share a computer with your children, you can password protect your information.this way, you children never have to get a hold of your passwords and inadvertently share them with strangers.

2. Share computer time with your children. Sharing computer time allows you to see where an with whom your child is communicating.This is not a sure way of keeping  your children safe, however, this practice helps give a foundation on how yor child should behave.

3. Communicate with your children. Although it seems all children have access to the internet whether using their computer, netbook and telephone; the best way to childproof your computer is to talk to your child. Children (of all ages including teenagers) should be taught to use safety practices on the internet. The rule of thumb is the same safety practices you will use when dealing with a stranger, is the same information you should be giving online.

Programmers have been developing software to keep children safe, such as browser plug-ins and even child proof browsers. These should be tested by an adult just in case.

The best childproof method is to remind children not to give out their address, telephone number,and real name under any circumstances.
