Today we are going to talk about your privacy when using a computer at work. Did you know that almost everything you do on a work computer at your place of employment is most likely carefully monitored? The truth is that almost all companies now monitor what their employees are doing on the Internet while at work. In fact, many companies go a step further and check up on what you are posting on Facebook and Twitter even when you are off the clock. Lets start out at your place of employment. First thing that you have to remember is that the machine you are using at your place of work is not your machine. The computer is the property of the company you are working for. If an employee uses that computer for shopping during working hours, there is always the risk of contracting a serious virus that could take down the entire office network. This is not something any company wants to have to deal with as it means a serious loss of revenue and productivity.
When trying to find a computer repair shop, there are always a few features you will want to look for in your ideal computer repair solution. You will want to find a company with experience, good pricing, and friendly customer service. Most importantly you will want to find a company that offers a “No fix, No fee” guarantee.
Today we are going to talk about the safety of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is the original browser that has shipped with all versions of the Windows operating system. Internet explorer has had a very rocky past with numerous hacks and security flaws and is almost always the target of Malware and hacker attacks. In addition to the many security flaws, there has also been a large amount of performance issues as well. In some of the later versions of IE from IE 8 and later, there have been numerous complaints of web pages not loading or sometimes loading very slowly. These issues still remain as Microsoft continues to roll out new versions of the famous browser. The newest version is IE 10, which will be released, with Windows 8 late in October.
