You hear about it almost everyday and you see it every time you check the latest news. Thieves are always trying to get into your accounts and steal your passwords. If it is not 
done through your local computer it is getting done through companies in which you have accounts stored.
Just this week Google, Yahoo, Twitter and others announced that over 2 million stolen passwords were uploaded to the Internet for criminal eyes to view.
The idea of a cutting edge “smart house” may sound like something only available to the mega rich. However, implementing technology to improve your home life is not as expensive or difficult as it may seem. Below are five technologies you can implement to transform your home into a smart house.
When you are a computer technician, you see Malware of all types and intensities. Some render computers almost useless unless you are in safe mode. In many instances, the computer simply will not boot or you cannot access your file system. In a few cases, Trojans such as CryptoLocker will encrypt your most used files allowing no access to them at all. All these infections have one think in common; they did not do any damage to your physical computer.
In the past, if you had a mobile phone you did not have to worry about getting a virus on a mobile device. Today, things are a lot different. With thousands of new apps being added to the app store everyday it is almost impossible for Google to police and check every single one. If you own an Apple IOS the chances are a little less because there is more control to the Apple store.
Internet Explorer is one of the most mocked applications on the planet. It is hated by many and cursed by others, especially when it does not work. It seems that Microsoft keeps rolling out new versions of the browser even before things in the last version are fixed. The truth is that without IE, we would not be able to use most of the third party browsers like AOL, Firefox and Chrome. They all rely to some extent on Internet Explorer.
It is a known fact that the majority of e-mail clients are using Microsoft Outlook. For the most part, Microsoft Outlook will function great and do almost everything you need it to do. It is rich with customizable settings and most PC users are comfortable with the interface. For some business customers, it is often set up using Exchange Server. Many folks do not know the mechanics of the system and the fact that Outlook uses a very proprietary file type to save your information.
Crypto Locker is now rated as one of the most successful Malware attacks ever made. Once infected, there is little that can be done to get back your files unless you either feed the bad guys by paying the ransom or restoring your files from a backup. This virus does not discriminate. Even police departments can get infected.
You go online to e-mail your friends, pay your bills, play games and if your single you go online to find dates. For many of us, a good part of our day is spent working online. We do almost everything. For many families the appliance that causes the most stress when it is down is the family computer. When our online world first started to get popular in the 90’s, most people used a dial-up modem and the AOL desktop software.
Most people believe that if they own a Mac that they will not get a virus. In fact, many folks are buying Macs for that very reason. In the last year or so, I have seen many die-hard PC users turn to the Mac format.
