Anti-virus software links are available on our partners page.

Your computer should always have some type of anti-virus software running to keep your computer clean.  We recommend Eset NOD32 for virus protection but Kapersky is fine too.  If you are a Comcast Internet customer, you can get anti-virus software for free.

Greetings!
 

Sorry for my tardiness this month.  Everyone has been super busy here.  Keep an eye out in the September issue of Interbusiness Issues.  There is an article on Web Tech and our family owned business. 

Also, come out to the Green Expo at Illinois Central College Sept 10th and 11th.  I'll be presenting my social media workshop and there will be a lot of vendors.  It's FREE!

Enjoy your summer!  Thank you for your customer support!   - Tammy

More Than a Website   

People are realizing that search engine visibility is important to your website.  We discuss this a lot here at Web Tech Services. 

I look at some of the websites that we've built 7 or 8 years ago that have never been updated.  They still rank pretty high on Google because of the length of time they have been on the internet. But I also feel a redesign is in order.   

We recommend redesigns every few years.  Oftentimes, technology changes as do our skills, and making your site more appealing is important.  This is what your client sometimes sees before they meet you.  Making your website attractive makes your company attractive too. 

Think about a redesign or complete website makeover.  We have done these with great success and not hurting the Google ranking.

Computer Tips
 
With all of the thunder and lightening storms please remember to unplug your computer not only from the outlet but your network cable as well.  Sometimes surge protectors cannot handle the impact these storms produce.  We get quite a few computers in the store after these storms.  Many we can fix, but if lightening happens to get to the main board, there is not much that can be done. 

When you see a storm coming, simply unplug your power, network and phone cables from your computer.  It will save you a lot of hassle later.

I found a great program for backing up your files.  I've been testing it for the last month  or so and love it!  This program will back up your files on the fly.  You set it, and forget it.  Restoring files is a breeze also.  If your computer is stolen or damaged, your files are still safe on the Carbonite secure website.  This program is very affordable at around $50 per year!
