Dance the
Security Tango for !
What is the Security Tango?
The Security Tango is my name for the dance you have to do every time you want to assure yourself that your computer is free of viruses, spyware, keystroke loggers, backdoors, trojans, and other forms of malware (click the Definitions button on the left to see what all those things mean). It's something you need to do regularly and often - daily is not too often! The simple act of getting on the Internet and downloading email or going to a Web page can expose your computer to malicious crackers who would love to take over your machine for their own use.

Problems with
Computer Technology in General |
Most larger
not-for-profits have an I.T. person that can do everything from run the
webpage to backups, to fix hard drives.
But most smaller agencies have a staff person who
volunteers, and often we are "stuck" with even simple
problems.
Enter a tech firm that reaches
out: www.YourTechOnline.com
provides free video advice on basic topics, such as how to speed up your
PC start time, and if you need support or questions answered the
technician can connect to your computer over the line and fix hardware
and/or software problems while you watch - or give advice.
The service charges $49 for 30
minutes, $79 for 60 minutes, and unused minutes can be applied to future
problems. |

your work computer from Home? |
www.GoToMyPC.com

sunny beach... nevermind!
