Things to think about...

Do you need Internet Security software?

Internet Security software is needed to ensure that all of the material on your computer is kept safe from viruses, and Trojans and other “malware”.  Here are some high quality Internet Security suites:

Norton, AVG, McAfee, Zone Alarm

Wi-Fi  Security considerations

Wi-Fi connections provide great convenience and flexibility of access.  Whether you’re implementing a wireless home network or using a public access point, there are important security considerations.

Please see “Wireless Insecurity” on our NEWS page as well as the Wi-FI Alliance for more information.

Here is our favorite website for tech reviews...

CNET.com  Before you invest your money on a piece of technology, you should make sure that your time and money will not be wasted.  CNET is a great place to go for a wide selection of unbiased reviews on anything that has to do with technology. 

Can’t open MS Word Documents even though you have MS Word?

Microsoft has introduced a new document format with MS Word 2007.   If you see a “.docx” extension on the file, then this is your problem.   There are similar issues with PowerPoint and Excel as well.  Download Microsoft’s “compatibility pack” for Office 2000, Office XP and Office 2003 HERE. It will allow you to read, edit and save in the new formats.

Need more memory?

Most systems benefit from increased main memory - programs will load and run faster.  If you’ve never added memory to your PC, it’s very likely that you need more.  It’s not that hard to do if you have basic PC skills—otherwise have a qualified person select and install your add-on memory.

Here’s how to do it: 

1. Determine how much memory to add and the specific type of memory required:

       Use Crucial’s “System scanner tool

2. Buy online or wait for a sale at your local retailer.  It’s far less expensive on sale.

3. Follow the installation instructions in the owner’s manual for your computer.
