Advice on Taming Your Unruly Computer Come on; learn more about using your computer! by Allen Stein Security and safety is so important when you surf the Internet. I’ve devoted many columns on this topic; even so, I must do another one because of the increase in vulnerability we all have when using our computer. My son once mentioned that computer users should need a license in order to surf the Internet just as they are required by the state to have a license to drive a vehicle. People who are not willing to learn computer security and safety are putting others at risk as well as themselves. In my opinion, there’s no excuse for a computer user not learning how to safely operate their computer. Microsoft warns that there are software vulnerabilities in both their software and in third-party software. As they and other software companies learn of vulnerabilities or problems with software they make patches or corrections available. It is so important for you to make sure you’ve updated Windows as well as other software running on your computer. The vulnerabilities in software are used by “bad people” to harm you in some way or another, even to rob you of your identity. You must be alert to what’s going on with these software exploits, security and privacy breaches, malicious infections, E-mail spam and Email phishing. More than ever you should learn more about using your computer and stop taking pride in not knowing how to compute. Happy Computing is what you want and anything less than that is not acceptable. The “...Great product. I can sleep tonight!” Set up your FREE 30-day trial Today! No Credit Card Required! sales@thecomputertamers.com only way you can achieve Happy Computing is to learn and practice safe computing. Have you heard of “rogue software?” If not, keep reading. Rogue software is malicious infections that you invite on your computer by accepting some kind of offer. These awful infections masquerade as legitimate antivirus programs such as Norton, McAfee, and AVG; they can appear as Microsoft help windows as well. Before you “click” on any offers or “click” on “OK” in a window, read them carefully and take intelligent action. Many computer users, just “click” without thinking. If you are one these people, stop today. Rogue software often asks you to subscribe to services such as protection. People have given them their credit card information and have paid these criminals to infect their computer. Microsoft tells us that 91.3% of the attacks on Windows computers are against vulnerabilities that already have patches or corrections available for update. It is critical for you to do your Windows and other software updates. Once a week you should check for new updates. You should also set your computer to automatically update. Although most data is lost when a computer or hardware storage device is physically stolen; paying attention to the health safety of your computer is fundamental to Happy Computing. When you travel or take your computer out of your office or home, take good care of it and always know where your laptop or notebook is, at all times. Your company files are the lifeblood of your business, and your hard drive is the keeper of all your hard work Back up your business with the most secure system on the market today www.thecomputertamers.com/backup.htm It’s not a matter of “if ” you’ll lose your data, it’s a matter of “when” Call 456-1310 x 105 75 Bridge St Willimantic, CT I also suggest along with being proactive in keeping your computer safe you must encourage others to do the same. If everyone kept their computer healthy and safe there’d be fewer infections and exponentially less computer frustration and stress. As in most everything in life, learning and putting knowledge about your computer The Hebronian June 2009 Page 4 E-mail your news to: hebronian@gulemo.com è
to use separates the happy computer users from those sad and frustrated ones. It also costs money to have your computer fixed when it gets seriously infected. Most of the new infections require a professional with experience to remove them without damaging the operating system or valuable data. Some people when they get their computer seriously infected just go and buy a new one. They then either copy their infected data from the old computer to the new one, or neglect to practice safe computing as they did with their old computer; the result more often than not is a new and faster computer totally infected and in the same condition as their old computer.
