The good news! Now that Covid-19 is more under control, your family and grand-kids have decided to visit you this holiday season. If you are in Florida, perhaps they will even help you with hurricane recovery tasks while they are here.
The bad news: Your family may want to use your computer while they are visiting.
Be their hero! If they bring their own devices – laptops, tablets, smart phones – they will want to connect to your Wi-Fi network to access the internet.
Do you know the name and password for your Wi-Fi?
- l If you do, you will be their hero! They will know how to connect their device once they know your Wi-Fi name and password.
- l If you do not know your Wi-Fi name and password, call me and I can find it on your internet connected computer.
Security: If you are going to let your family use your computer, you need good anti-virus / anti-malware protection on your computer. I recommend Emsisoft Anti-malware and Malwarebytes Browser Guard. The protection package is only $50 a year and protects your computer from 98% of known viruses, malicious software, ransom-ware and malvertisements.
I am committed to protect your computers at an affordable price. Call 239-567-0104 to learn about joining our monthly training program “Learn Computers 101.” Thank you for trusting me to keep your computers healthy. Contact us when it is time to renew your protection software, or if you need computer and internet help. Be well.
