Backup Computer

admin — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 12:15:53 +0000

Of course you are backing up your data on a regular basis (you are, aren’t you??), but have you thought about what you’ll do when it dies? Many people make a HUGE mistake when their computer dies: they rush to the nearest store and buy whatever is on sale, just to get back up and running.

Consider a second computer

Most of us already have more than one computer in the house – the “good one” and the “old one”. Of course, the “old one” wasn’t “good” enough a couple years ago, so we bought the “good one”. The problem: the “old one” probably doesn’t boot at all anymore, and certainly can’t do what we need to do when we need to do it. Wouldn’t it be better to have a “good one” and a “better one”? It is definitely better to have a spare that you can use in emergencies – and give yourself time to pick out the RIGHT computer when you do need to purchase one.

Thoughts on Security

Read the headlines – Visa, Microsoft, Google, the Pentagon – even the Fed have been attacked and/or hacked into in recent months. If the richest companies and the richest nation on Earth are vulnerable, how secure is YOUR data, really? If it is on the Internet and/or accessible to you from anywhere, it is also accessible to hackers and identity thieves. Make securing your data (and removing access to it when not needed) your #1 priority in today’s world.

A few words about passwords

admin — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:27:20 +0000

Make sure you keep your passwords safe – don’t ever e-mail your passwords to anybody for any reason. If you must give someone your password to help you with an account, change it immediately afterward.

Fraud and Identity Theft

…can start with guessing or intercepting your e-mail password. Once a criminal has access to your e-mail, you and your friends are vulnerable to a whole host of exploits.

Make your password secure

…using random letters, numbers, and special characters (where allowed) can greatly reduce the chances of being compromised.
It is not a good idea if your password is listed anywhere on your Facebook page – vacation spot, address, pet or child’s name, etc. Random is the key – the more random, the better.

Don’t re-use passwords

I know it’s a pain, but change your passwords often, and don’t use the same password for Facebook and Bank of America.
