SAFETY TIPS

Think before you click!

AVOIDING VIRUSES

Have 1 good Virus Program (more than one just causes problems)
Keep it up to date
Remember if you say you “trust this sight” you are shutting off your antivirus!
You will NEVER be contacted from Microsoft the IRS or the FBI via phone, this is a scam and you need to hang up and shut down your computer. Never give them money.

GET UPDATES

Software updates are required to keep things running because things change and the software has to change with it in order for it to work properly.
NEVER install an update from a pop up when you are on-line (it is most likely a Virus). Instead install directly from the manufacturers website.
