2017!!

Bringing in the new year with hopefully some more regularity to my blog posts.  The main thing on my mind lately, besides the typical password recommendations, is a good backup.  For the past 1-2 years, a type of virus called cryptoware has dominated the malicious computer scene.  Lots of money is going into developing and deploying these viruses so they are becoming harder and harder and sometimes impossible to stop.   I can always remove a virus, but if your files get destroyed,  you have the choice to pay the hackers to get them back (sometimes doesn't work), or if you have a backup, you don't have to give them a dime! If you decide to do a physical backup, make sure you only have the backup drive plugged in at the time of backup, don't leave it in all the time.  If you don't want to worry about manually backing up, a cloud backup would take care of you.

This company is who I recommend
