Website Updates

I am updating things a little bit here. So please bear with me... Things could look out of place for a bit Laughing

Summer, Heat & Computers
Remember that during summer, computers, like everything else, can overheat. If you have been experiencing lockups or strange behaviour, it might be a good idea to check your vents and fans for dust. This should be cleaned out to allow maximum airflow for the processor.

NB: Never open the case of your computer if it is still under warranty. This will void your warranty. Some manufacturers have a way of checking if the case has been opened.

NB: Never open your power-supply unit inside the computer as dangerous voltages lurk within, even after unplugging. A charge may be stored for up to 2 days.
 
Viruses
I am still surprised at how many people do not have a virus scanner at all or who have not updated their scanners for some time with the latest virus databases.

It is a MUST these days to have a virus scanner installed and to keep it up to date.

Have you checked your virus scanner lately?
 
Software Of Dubious Origins

Right. After seeing a lot of this over the last few months, I feel I need to make people aware of this.

If you have someone upgrade your software (especially Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office) from an older version to a newer version, they MUST, repeat, MUST give you the original installation CD-ROM discs AND the original serial number sticker/certificate of authenticity.
 
Internet vs Physical Banking

Greetings People,

I watched the piece and read the website of TodayTonight in regard to the Internet Banking Dangers and
how bad it was.

I will leave it up to you to read about it if you missed it as I won't link to the story. You can go to their
website and read about it for yourselves, however, I will comment in my humble opinion.

 
 
Tricky Emails
Ok. I've had enough of these emails and feel it best to pass on some words of wisdom.

There are emails floating around (and have been for some time but are multiplying in volume) that seem at first glance to be from a bank or other institution. Some that I have seen have been from Westpac, ANZ, National and even Ebay.
