Hi Folks
Firstly, sorry for the lack of a March newsletter, March appeared to be a very busy month. A lot of time was spent with "Scare-ware" issues. This is a small rogue program that downloads into your PC then one day when you switch your PC on, it appears, informing you that you have hundreds of viruses, spy-ware issues and basically makes your PC useless until you pay for the full version, this is all a scam!. If the end-user (you) hasn't already tried to remove it or the registry hasn't been tapered with, this can be removed within a few hours, without having to format your hard drive.
•I recently moved broadband and telephone suppliers, simple process nowadays, all done on-line. Decided to save money and move to Talk Talk (again), to be honest, they cant be beaten on price and have there was no issues with setting up or using their service.http://sales.talktalk.co.uk/product/broadband/?portalId=GOO_BRA
•When looking for broadband, always do a bit of checking for the best deals, go to supplier websites and use their line test software, see how fast your connection would be. It really all depends on the telephone exchange your using, you can chop and change suppliers all you want, but the speed of broadband is controlled by the exchange. Its a complete waste of money if you order broadband that says you can get up to 20+MB and paying £18.99 a month but your exchange can only cope with 2MB. In this case, I would recommend, choosing a broadband package that offers up it 8+MB and pay £3.49 a month (saving you £15.50), what a saving!! http://top10.com/broadband/packages/?gclid=CNaJp-XDm6gCFUEa4Qod9BZOHA#products=sort%3Dbestsellers
