Microsoft Security Essentials will be rebranded as Windows Defender and installed by default on all new Windows 8 computers. If you choose another anti-virus, it will become disabled, but if you uninstall any other anti-virus, it will automatically start protecting you again. Another feature in Windows 8 we are looking forward to; is the ability to easily see what programs are starting with Windows and slowing your pc down (and the option to disable them). We are looking forward to see what other features will be included or changed before the operating system is released this fall.

We have received a lot of phone calls concerning the loss of internet in July, as seen on Fox News. There are only about 80,000 PCs still infected by this in the USA. Your computer would have had been infected around or before November 2011. The infected computers are running through infected servers, that the government has replace with clean servers, however, if your computer is still infected, then after July 9th your computer will no longer have internet when they turn off these servers. If you would like to test if your DNS is working correctly, click here: http://www.dns-ok.us/, if you see a green background then your PC is fine. Still not sure, bring it in for a Quick Check and Tune-up for $30. Original story found here: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911.

Today you will find multiple ways to keep your data safe from computer/hard drive failure. One of the biggest mistakes we see is the storage of your valuable data ONLY on a single external device. If all of your data is on an external hard drive, and no longer on your computer, then you are still at risk of the external hard drive failing and losing everything. The easiest way to backup using an external hard drive is to let Windows manage the backup for you. In windows 7, open your start menu and type the word “Backup”, then click on “Backup and Restore”. Click on “Set up backup” and Windows will guide you through the process. Backups can not only be stored on Floppies, CDs, DVDs, Flash Drives, and External Hard Drives, but also by using free online services like Windows Live Mesh. With Windows Live Mesh, once installed, you can choose any folder(s) you would like have a backup of, and it will automatically sync it to Microsoft’s Servers, and/or any other computer running Windows Live Mesh.
