Protection Monks ala Geek (and you can be one too)

The two most recent posts have been repetitions of subjects often discussed at the beach house. Folks if you don't want to update, run the right applications, stay away from known spyware carriers then every few months expect to pay a tech to do it. Don't begrudge her or him because you won't use these free tools and try to exercise good computing habits. Research has been done on the programs listed in the previous two posts. These utilities have proven to be an extremely good first line of defense against the bad guys.

Please remember that technicians cannot read minds nor anticipate every wish. Yes, I realize that most techs are strange, sometimes down right hateful and other times know it all pains in the butt. The key word here is most. There's a few of us that even smile early in the morning and late at night when receiving inquiring phone calls that we usually don't invoice. Y'all have a casual day.
