Online Backup Reviewed
Here's the review for online backup. It's not bashing other vendors but it gives you the results of the best feature that they currently offer when compared to other online backup companies.
1- CrashPlan - it's not number one because it's great, but if you consider pricing important. Then CrashPlan would be your first option on savings.
2- Carbonite it's still in work in process if you don't mind slow uploads and bandwidth throttling speeds.
3- Mozy use to be very popular a few years back, but that all changed when it dropped it's unlimited plans and started a tiered plan in early 2011.
4-SOS Online Backup, it's not the cheapest when compared to apples and oranges. But it has a continuous data backup feature that backups a new version, the instant a file is changed, not seen elsewhere.
5-Linedrive is the military grade AES-256 program with competitive pricing.
6- Bitcasa are making small but important movements and in time I hope that they will be better.
7- Backblaze - if your worried about complicated or confusing online backup, this company will take that fear away.
8- SpiderOak - it's a unique refer a friend program that can get you 12 GB free.
9- SugarSync - if you want more than an online repository for safety, you'll like this one.
10- Acronis True Image Online - you can backup 5 computer images online with one account.

What is Cryptolocker
What is Cryptolocker and why you should be concern? Well let's just say it's not a good thing to get onto your computer and if your computer gets infected it's going to cost nicely.
Cryptolocker is a new type of malware that once your computer is infected, it will demand money from you in order to remove it. Not a good thing if your in the middle of something important while computing.
There are a few software's in the market that will help you fight it, but nothing is fool proof.
Later on during the year, I plan to purchase a license product that helps fight against CryptoLocker attacks. Feel free to email me at support@pcmaestro.us for more information.

Scareware
It's no secret that some programs have been out for a while and telling you that's something wrong with your computer. When in reality there is nothing wrong. The full blame goes back to the software manufacture.
I try to stay away from companies like this because in the long run you can never trust their integrity. I believe that if there software is good, then it should sell itself and you don't need to give the user false alarms that your computer is infected. You decide?
