IRS pays for Xp support
Recently the IRS got hit with not catching up with it's current migrating to Windows 7. The end result is that they have to cough up a big support fee to Microsoft for another year until they finish catchup. In fact if your a big business you can do the same but it's going to be costly.

If you currently have Wi-Fi you should check it to see if WPS is disabled. You'll be surprised to find out that Wi-Fi protected setup is insecure. So for now your best bet is to disable it, until the manufactures come up with a fix.

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.
