Beware of Ransomware! Ransomware is a type of malware which restricts access to the computer system that it infects, and demands a ransom paid to the creator(s) of the malware in order for the restriction to be removed. I've had a few clients who became infected with the Cryptolocker 2.0 virus which encrypted documents, pictures, movies etc and without a backup lost everything on their computer!

As this year comes to an end it’s hard to believe I’ve been helping people solve their computer problems for 18 years! From mom’s first Tandy computer to Mrs. Boyd’s 1995 high school computer class, starting my IT career at Kearsley in 1995, then registering my DBA in 2002 which changed to an LLC in 2006 I hope to be around for many years to come! I wish everyone has a safe and happy new year!
