“What is a Fire-Wall and why
you need it?” A fire-wall stops advertisements and people from
hacking into your computer. This must be combined with an anti-virus
program. You can have as many Fire-Walls as you wish. Remember, you
can only have one anti-virus program. More than 1 and they will work
against each other. Dave also advised that once a week we should
close down our computer and pull the plug on it for 1 minute. He
says this will force your computer to do a reg clean. Give it 1
minute.
then, restart your computer, let it warm up, remember to Defrag on a
regular basis, “Bug Doctor” a program that cleans your registry and
the background, makes it run faster.
Les Hallock, prepared a
power point program to show exactly how you can add a program Icon
to your computer desktop or move an Icon to another area of your
computer desktop. Any member who wishes a copy of this program,
bring in your flash drive and you can copy it.
Because of the time
spent on these programs, I was not able to go into my program
“Keyboard Shortcuts,” I will do this next month as part of our
program
I look forward to seeing you next month.
Regards, Jerry
Respectfully submitted by
Phyllis Frank, Secretary
