If you are not protected by any kind of anti-virus, there are a ton of disastrous things that could happen to your computer. Your hard drive could be wiped clean, files lost or damage, constant freezing, or worse, people could log on to your computer and steal your information. If any of this happens, more than likely you will have to replace any of your hardware that has been damaged.

Monday, October 26th, 2009Advantages and Disadvantages of Voice Over IP
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
Q: What Are Some Advantages of VoIP?
A: Some VoIP services offer features and services that are not available with a traditional phone, or are available but only for an additional fee. You may also be able to avoid paying for both a broadband connection and a traditional telephone line.
Q: What Are Some Disadvantages of VoIP?
A: If you’re considering replacing your traditional telephone service with VoIP, there are some possible differences:
• Some VoIP services don’t work during power outages and the service provider may not offer backup power.
• Not all VoIP services connect directly to emergency services through 9-1-1. For additional information, see VoIP & 911 Advisory.
• VoIP providers may or may not offer directory assistance/white page listings.
Aspects of these considerations may change with new developments in internet technology. You should always check with the VoIP service provider you choose to confirm any advantages and limitations to their service.

If I have Voice Over IP service, who can I call?
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Depending upon your service, you might be limited only to other subscribers to the service, or you may be able to call anyone who has a telephone number – including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. If you are calling someone who has a regular analog phone, that person does not need any special equipment to talk to you. Some VoIP services may allow you to speak with more than one person at a time.
Aspects of these considerations may change with new developments in internet technology. You should always check with the VoIP service provider you choose to confirm any advantages and limitations to their service.

What Kind of Equipment Do I Need for Voice Over IP?
Thursday, September 17th, 2009A broadband (high speed Internet) connection is required. This can be through a cable modem, or high speed services such as DSL or a local area network. A computer, adaptor, or specialized phone is required. Some VoIP services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, while other services allow you to use a traditional phone connected to a VoIP adapter. If you use your computer, you will need some software and an inexpensive microphone. Special VoIP phones plug directly into your broadband connection and operate largely like a traditional telephone. If you use a telephone with a VoIP adapter, you’ll be able to dial just as you always have, and the service provider may also provide a dial tone.
Aspects of these considerations may change with new developments in internet technology. You should always check with the VoIP service provider you choose to confirm any advantages and limitations to their service.

How VoIP / Internet Voice Works
Thursday, September 17th, 2009VoIP services convert your voice into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number, the signal is converted to a regular telephone signal before it reaches the destination. VoIP can allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional phone connected to a special adapter. In addition, wireless “hot spots” in locations such as airports, parks, and cafes allow you to connect to the Internet and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly.
Aspects of these considerations may change with new developments in internet technology. You should always check with the VoIP service provider you choose to confirm any advantages and limitations to their service.

Windows Registry
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009
The Windows registry is a database that stores settings and options for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It contains settings for practically everything your computer has in it; from hardware to software. These files are required for Windows to operate successfully and are hidden from viewing to prevent accidentally going through and damaging a file. If one of the registries gets lost or damaged, it can really cause major problems to your computer. In some cases, a damage registry can even prevent your Windows system from booting successfully.
Restore Your PC Speed
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009If your PC is running slow, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is time for an upgrade. A simple, clean wipe of the computer’s operating system will generally restore a PC back to the initial speed it had when the customer first bought it. Most computers sold in the last several years even come with a “System Restore Disc” that can be inserted into the CD/DVD drive and with just a couple clicks, restore the computer to it’s factory settings. This will wipe and reinstall Windows, removing any junk and most likely will restore your computer to the original speed it had when your first bought it. Of course, before any of this, important data should be backed up to a CD, but this is an economical way to get a couple more years out of your computer.
