To our valued clients and friends,

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic we are taking precautions as recommended by the CDC in order to maintain a consistent level of client service. In our profession we are essential to our clients enabling them to continue to provide needed essential services to those who count on them.

Within our office environment we have made hand-sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, antibacterial soap and masks available for our team. We have also instituted an enhanced cleaning protocol in our office.

We have asked our team members to reach out to our clients when we have upcoming onsite meetings scheduled in order to ensure we are properly coordinated to perform our duties in the safest manner. Where remote services are possible, we will always suggest this alternative first.

We value our relationship with you and thank you for trusting us with our technology needs.

Together we can flatten the curve,

Computer Blues? Team

Johns Hopkins University has sent this contagion detailed note on how to avoid COVID-19:

* The virus is not a living organism, but a protein molecule (DNA) covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the ocular, nasal or buccal mucosa, changes their genetic code. (mutation) and convert them into aggressor and multiplier cells.

* Since the virus is not a living organism but a protein molecule, it is not killed, but decays on its own. The disintegration time depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.

* The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam CUTS the FAT (that is why you have to rub so much: for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam). By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.

* HEAT melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius for washing hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful.

* Alcohol or any mixture with alcohol over 65% DISSOLVES ANY FAT, especially the external lipid layer of the virus.

* Any mix with 1 part bleach and 5 parts water directly dissolves the protein, breaks it down from the inside.

* Oxygenated water helps long after soap, alcohol and chlorine, because peroxide dissolves the virus protein, but you have to use it pure and it hurts your skin.

* NO BACTERICIDE SERVES. The virus is not a living organism like bacteria; they cannot kill what is not alive with anthobiotics, but quickly disintegrate its structure with everything said.

* NEVER shake used or unused clothing, sheets or cloth. While it is glued to a porous surface, it is very inert and disintegrates only between 3 hours (fabric and porous), 4 hours (copper, because it is naturally antiseptic; and wood, because it removes all the moisture and does not let it peel off and disintegrates), 24 hours (cardboard), 42 hours (metal) and 72 hours (plastic). But if you shake it or use a feather duster, the virus molecules float in the air for up to 3 hours, and can lodge in your nose.

* The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars. They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.

* UV LIGHT on any object that may contain it breaks down the virus protein. For example, to disinfect and reuse a mask is perfect. Be careful, it also breaks down collagen (which is protein) in the skin, eventually causing wrinkles and skin cancer.

* The virus CANNOT go through healthy skin.
* Vinegar is NOT useful because it does not break down the protective layer of fat.
* NO SPIRITS, NOR VODKA, serve. The strongest vodka is 40% alcohol, and you need 65%.
* LISTERINE IF IT SERVES! It is 65% alcohol
* The more confined the space, the more concentration of the virus there can be. The more open or naturally ventilated, the less.
* This is super said, but you have to wash your hands before and after touching mucosa, food, locks, k***s, switches, remote control, cell phone, watches, computers, desks, TV, etc. And when using the bathroom.

* You have to HUMIDIFY HANDS DRY from so much washing them, because the molecules can hide in the micro cracks. The thicker the moisturizer, the better.

* Also keep your NAILS SHORT so that the virus does not hide there.

You are all about to head out into multiple places using technology as the medium to connect … you and the rest of the world. We would like to just take a few minutes to focus your attention on the rampant upsweep of fraudsters, scammers, tricksters and thieves. There are absolutely huge surgencies in malicious attacks in emails, on webpages and through telephone soliciting. Just as we have never experienced a time such as this on earth neither have we experienced this type of dependency on our technological connection. Being in isolation and away from regular routines can cause us to relax some of our vigilant ways with technology but we urge you not to let your guard down.

Please take a few minutes to click on the following links to familiarize yourself with some new tactics to be on the lookout for. Click here for COVID Info … real time COVID tracker … click here for $2500 emergency funding from the Trudeau Government … reply here to the Red Cross for free face masks … the list goes on and on and on …. DON’T CLICK! A quick search in your browser for new COVID scams will continue to bring you results.

The world is not going to end if you don’t click on a link or reply to an email. If you are curious enough to need to know more about something that comes in front of you open your browser and do a quick search on the topic … again watching what you click. Often a scam will become quickly apparent.

Some common-sense measures to take include:

• Check the sender's email address. Are they who they claim to be? Check that their contact name matches the actual email address they’re sending from.
• Try not to click or tap! If it’s a link and you’re on a computer, take advantage of your mouse’s hover to closely inspect the domain address before clicking on them.
• Try not to download files from unfamiliar people. Avoid opening attachments from any external email addresses or phone numbers.
• Get someone else’s opinion. Ask a co-worker or call a customer: Were we expecting an email from this sender? Or ask a friend: Does this email look strange to you? A good practice is to use a different medium to verify (for example, if you receive a strange email claiming to be your friend, try calling your friend over the phone to double-check that it’s from them).

Please remember to only use your office equipment for office work. This too will minimize your risk.

Remote utilities software has been installed on your systems so that we can support you technologically as we move forward to the remote office. Regular maintenance and updating remain key ways to protect your systems and data. Like the rest of the world we are moving forward making decisions sometimes by the hour and sometimes by the day. Should we find ourselves in this remote situation weeks and months from now we will communicate further with you to arrange updating and maintenance of your equipment.

Be diligent … Be safe.

Most sincerely,

Your Computer Blues? Team

March 18, 2020: As COVID-19 continues to spread globally, watch out for associated scams. Fraudsters want to profit from consumers' fears, uncertainties and misinformation. Fraudsters are exploiting the crisis to facilitate fraud and cyber crime.
