Knowledge is Power!

This season, if you have receive a new computer or new software, check em for the gifts you might not know about. Many computers come with bundled software that includes Adware, Malware and even Spyware. You may not find it until you launch the software program. It may give you a message that says it needs to connect to a site to complete the registration. Make sure you read the entire license agreement.



I know of many stories about how a user had to do a complete restore on
their new computer just days after getting it. These stories involve the user spending hours on the phone with customer support trying to resolve the problem. In previous years, Dells customer support has been swamped after the holidays with calls from new users asking for help. Before you get online with the new computer, insure the AntiVirus and Firewall is functioning. The computer will probably prompt you that it needs to get updates. Check what the update is before agreeing to the install. Make sure you get the MS updates needed too.



If after all this, you still don't know which updates or installs to
agree to, there are help sites that provide assistance.



Check the products site first, they may have customer support or even a
Forum.



Visit Spyware Warrior for a list of rogue/suspect Anti-Spyware products
and web sites.

Test your Firewall at Hacker Watch to make sure you're able to block
attacks.



http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe/



If you're unsure of a process thats running, check it at UniBlues
process library.



http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/



These are just a few of the help sites out there, there are many
excellent sites that can help you.



If after all the searching, you still need help, I recommend the Major
Geeks Help Forum.



http://forums.majorgeeks.com/



It will involve you registering and downloading the Hijack This program,
running it and then uploading the log results to the Malware Forum there. They are good people there and will help you get your computer happy.



Think you've got it covered? Do the “How safe are you” quiz at Stay Safe
Online.



http://staysafeonline.org/basics/quiz.html



Also a point to ponder. If you're giving instead of receiving, make sure
what you give is safe and reliable.



Don't forget to create a restore point and maintain backups of important
data is my last bit of advice.



So after the gift giving, after the clean up, after the nap on the
couch, check your computer to insure your online safety.




Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Artistic Vision

Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?

Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?

Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
