A good way to avoid computer problems!

Okay, so you have company coming over to visit. Maybe your brother or sister to spend some time. Or perhaps your son or daughter is coming in for a visit or home on break from college.

I have made many many service calls, and I can't tell you how many times the problem started when SOMEONE ELSE used your computer.

You know how it is. You have everything just like you like it on your computer. You know where everything is.

But visitors and guests rarely use your computer like you do. They have their OWN familiar ways of using THEIR PC, and most likely it's NOT going to be how YOU do!

And that's when problems occur. Maybe they download a program on your PC without asking you or telling you. Or they'll set your PC up so they can use their favorite instant messaging program.

Or they'll visit those "off the beaten path" websites that once visited will infect your PC with spyware that begins sending uncontrollable pop-up ads for all manner of topics.

Moral of this story is this: If you're going to have visitors, either don't let them use your PC, or else tell them in no uncertain terms, "DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING AND DO NOT CHANGE ANY OF MY SETTINGS!"

It may not sound polite, but it could very well save you a LOT of headaches and expense!
