Have you received an email saying that your Google+ account will soon be shut down and all your data deleted?

This message from Google has confused several of my customers because the message failed to explain what Google+ means (pronounced Google Plus). This was a social media website that failed, so they are closing down just that page. It does not affect any other data you have with Google, so it is meaningless unless you were one of the few who used it!

Knowledge is king! If everyone was aware of general online security, the techniques designed to deceive most users, and what was too good to be true, then the internet would be far easier and safer to use!

The internet is the most widely used communication tool in existence. It's also the best tool for scammers and phishers to hunt for victims.

The Mac vs Windows debate in two paragraphs? OK:

It's worth pointing out that I'm not against Apple necessarily. They serve their place in the market for high-spec, well designed laptops. I just like to dispel the myth that they are manufactured from some sort of magically unbreakable substance. Seeing as the entry level Macbook starts at £1249, a Windows laptop made from a metal shell with the same processor and other spec will be much cheaper. Apple do make the buying process easier as they only make high spec machines. There's no such thing as a new, slow, low spec Mac, unlike the Windows market which is awash with slow, disappointing computers.

I recognise that for people with existing Apple products, keeping within the product family makes it easier to synchronise all your devices. If you are new to Apple products, learning a completely new system is an unnecessary hassle. Experienced Mac owners will of course tell you that Macs are much easier to use than Windows, but that's true for anybody who is used to a certain system.

More reasons not to install cleaning / boosting / maintenance software. Today I had to completely re-install all the software on a PC with perfectly good hardware, most likely because of some software called System Mechanic.

PC cleaning apps are digital snake oil. The web is full of ads for applications that want to “clean your PC” and “make it feel like new.” Don’t pull out your credit card — these apps are terrible and you don’t need them.
