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.

Website ECommerce

Our PayPal Shopping cart is working out nicely for our online storeclients.  After years of fighting with PayPal's Application Programming Interface (API) , I had one of my programming vendors build a custom PayPal cart for my clients. 

Our clients love the fact that they can now update this section of their website on the fly.  But we thought we could provide you with some tips on your ecommerce project and how to sell more for less.  Click here for a link to the article with some great tips on selling.

Editing your product descriptions to gain consumer interest is important.  Simple things like that make a big difference!

We've posted some information on our Facebook page about the NVIDA Litigation settlement.  If you own a laptop with an NVIDA chip, you may be eligible for this settlement. You will need your original receipt.  Visit their website for more information.   http://www.nvidiasettlement.com/  


We also posted "What files should you back up on your computer"  There is a great article on How-To Geek answering this question.  Click here.  Please keep in mind that saving your back up on your computer hard drive is defeating the purpose.  You need to back up your files to an external drive or even online.  There is a link to Carbonite in this newsletter so you can save your data online.   


 One last post was "Definition of Various Security Related Terms".  Terms like malware, spyware, adware etc. Here is great information on what it all means.  Click here for that article. 
 

Keep in touch with Facebook and get up to the minute information.

New Social Media / SEO Info 

 I recently presented at the Peoria Heights Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting discussing social media.  What a great bunch of people.  They made me feel very welcome and comfortable.  I had about 45 minutes but still could not fit everything in.  There is so much internet marketing, it's hard to cover everything. 

This is why we have a variety of topics such as Facebook for Business, Promote yourself with LinkedIn, Internet Marketing and for all your employers out there, The Art of Hiring Smart.  Here is the current schedule

I found a great program for backing up your files.  I've tested it 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!
