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!

I am currently getting about 700 emails a day of junk, also called SPAM.  Oftentimes, it looks as though I am sending myself something.  If you are like me and sick of the SPAM then contact me to discuss your options for controlling this.  I've explained these options in the Web Section of the newsletter.          

 

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

Computer Tips 

Always do your Windows updates! 

 When that little bubble pops up and says "Windows has an update" do it! Out of date programs are a great way for viruses to get on your computer.  Keeping all your programs updated helps keep your computer clean.     

 

Quick Icon Find! 

 If you have a lot of icons on your desktop, here is a quick way to find what you need: Highlight one of the icons by clicking once on it.  Type in the first letter of the icon you are looking for and your cursor will move to that icon.  Keep pressing that letter until your shortcut is highlighted.

 

Print Sections of a Page 

Do you ever want to print just a small section of a web page?  Select what you want to print, click the print icon and tick the button that says "selection" on the print window. 

 

Customize your Windows Folders  

By saving one of your images within a folder to folder.jpg, when viewing the folders in thumbnail view, that picture will be displayed.  Try it.

Social Media  

      

    

I laughed when I read the article "7 Facebook Don'ts that People do Anyway".  Click here to read the article.  

 

We mostly focus on Facebook for Business but personally it's fun to keep in touch with friends and family.  I don't see some of my family since they live out of town, so it's cool to see pictures and find out what's happening. But still, even though we are family, do I really need to know that your dog is having problems with his digestion?  This article points out what I always say, "Keep in mind you are talking to people, not your computer."   

 

Anyway, I hope to get a personal Facebook workshop happening soon with one of the local non-profits to show people how easy it is to keep in touch with family and friends.  Stay tuned.
