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.

Computer Tips 

Having trouble booting into windows?

 

When you turn on the PC, Press the F8 key until the Startup Menu screen pops up. Scroll down the arrow key & choose (Last Known Good Configuration) & hit enter. IF not, repeat the process & choose Safe Mode w/networking toward the top & you can remove any programs that you may have installed recently & run a virus scan. Backup your files daily.

 

 

How to Copy/Paste messages:

 

Left click at the 1st letter of the sentence & hold down the mouse button as you drag it down to the end of the sentence. Let off left button, it should be highlighted. Then right click in highlighted area & choose copy. Then go up to your status area & left click then right click in the posting box & choose paste then click SHARE.

 

Myth: Attackers only target people with money.

Truth: Anyone can become a victim of identity theft. They look for the biggest reward for the least amount of effort, so they target databases that store data about many people. If your data happens to be in the database, it could be collected and used for malicious purposes. It's important to pay attention to your credit information so that you can minimize damage.

Social Media

I spoke at a Professional Journalists Convention last week.  We got into a discussion about how social media is changing the way writers write.  I was happy to learn that most of the people in the room would not compromise their talents just for a story.  I brought up Facebook's new community Journalists on Facebook

http://www.facebook.com/journalist.    

 

 This community was publicized for getting 12,000 fans the first day.  Which says to me that there is a lot of interest.  I thought of all the communities and pages on Facebook and how quickly people can connect and get answers within seconds.  The journalists agreed that this is a great opportunity to collaborate with others in their industry and engage readers.  

 

I guess the point is, there are many ways to use social media, marketing your company, SEO, collaboration or just for fun.
