We are always looking for ways to improve security on our systems and recently we rolled out an update to better secure email. We’ve moved from unencrypted to encrypted communication on our email hosting to eliminate the warning messages that occasionally show themselves and protect ourselves and our customers from the ever growing serious threats on the internet.
If you would like the update added to your email program, tablet, or phone, please call our office. Or read more to see the specifics to do it yourself. Read More »
Many websites talk about what you should or should not do online, but rarely can you see it backed up with actual legitimate performance graphs so we’ve decided to post some of our observations taken directly from our Google Analytics account. What did we find? Read More »
Has your hard drive started clicking? Try listening for a very high pitched squealing coming out of your computer.
A failing hard drive may trigger a disk check too. These are all early warning signs that you should BACK UP YOUR FILES IMMEDIATELY. Hard drives don’t always give you a warning and may just die on the spot, so even if you don’t have problems, it’s still good practice to make sure you have a back up periodically. Read More »
Many programs are using “tabs” now. Programmers are referencing the small part of a manila folder that sticks up out of a file drawer and many programs now incorporate “tabs” that stick out the top of the viewing area. When you’re using a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can click down on the scroll wheel rather than using it to scroll. The click will trigger a middle click which will open multiple web links as tabs at the top making it super easy to switch between them. You can also open a new tab in many programs by holding CTRL and pressing the T key (CTRL + T). Mac users, use the keys: COMMAND T (CMD T). Read More »
Our customers have been reporting that an unknown company is randomly calling people, pretending to be Microsoft, and claiming they have detected a virus infection on the customer’s computer. Be aware, Microsoft doesn’t actually call individual customers regarding these sorts of problems with your computer. If you do suspect you have a virus or some sort of infection, you should call us immediately. Read More »
Undo is one of the most important shortcuts. It reverses your very last action. If you click again, you’re too late, the last action has been replaced and is something else now. This is especially helpful if you inadvertently move a folder inside another one and can’t find it. If that seems like it happened, STOP!!!! Don’t press anything or click anything and immediately press CTRL Z to reverse the “move folder” command that just happened by mistake. Read More »
