    Happy Anniversary to CSSS Barossa!!!

    It's time to put on your party hat & blow your noise maker real loud & hey, let's have a pizza party to celebrate the special occasion! Yep, Teresa at CSSS Barossa turned 1 this week - on May 1st to be exact!

    She is also letting her customers in on the celebrations and if they check the local Herald paper (correct me Teresa if I've got the wrong name of the paper please) for the coupon, they will be eligible for $40 off when they book a service during the month of May! Hey, now don't miss out on that offer!

    Also, Teresa would like say a big thank you to all her customers!

    Play Safe On The Internet

    There is an expression "Do you know who your friends are?" Well, do you??

    For example, you open up your email program and there is an email message from Susie Smith.  Hmmmm.  Do you know Susie Smith? If not, the safe practice to protect your computer (and network, home or business) from unwanted viruses and spyware, is to place the email immediately into your wastebasket and add the address to your "unsafe subscriber list" to ensure any more emails from this unknown person go into your wastebasket immediately. You really cannot be too careful these days.

    If you find out down the road that Susie Smith really is your Aunt Sally's friend who has decided to send you emails, then great - you can change your email filter settings so that you will once again start receiving these emails in your inbox.

    Now obviously, you cannot prevent all viruses in all situations; e.g. friends who copy all their friends including you in their 'TO' section of the email. Well, if there ever was a virus lingering, chances are it will become contagious - infecting all the people on that distribution list. Hence, why people are encouraged to use the BCC field which certainly may not be foolproof, but a whole lot safer!

    So, back to the viruses. You need to be protected - you need to be safe and there are Virus Protection Programmes that do this. Some even have additional options built in like spyware and firewall options.

    Some of the recommended products sold by our technicians include: QuickHeal, Bullguard, and Norman.

    Now, not to scare you; but you should be cautious of only having "free" virus protection on your computer because although we won't name names, we did learn that one very popular programme out there at the moment is only protecting you against 32% of the viruses.

    Contact your nearest Computer Solutions store today - we will help you "Play Safe On The Internet".
