A PC computer arrived at our shop in San Diego running a very aggressive program called Auslogics BoostSpeed version 5. I did all the tell tale thing like showing thousands of errors on the PC. It also claims to boost speed and optimize automatically. Most technicians agree these are bogus claims. Any program claiming to clean and optimize the registry is false and dangerous. Unfortunately, it does appear to be the same company that the disk defragmenting program comes from. I must also note, The PC quit booting, I was able to put it in diagnositc boot mode through safe mode to boot only the bare essentials. BoostSpeed still loaded up, wow!
The final part of my opinion came from the uninstall process. There was at least 4 extra popups warning me not to uninstall it and offering me a deal to buy and keep it. Shame on you Auslogics... too aggressive!

I was curious how CutePDF compared to the branded version of Adobe Acrobat Standard. I was quite impressed with CutePDF... I installed the Pro evaluation version on a test PC in our San Diego shop and this thing works great! I merged a PDF, reordered the pages, rotated and removed a page. All quickly and easily.
Solid program! For only $50 the rubber stamp at the bottom of your PDF's is removed. Deal!
After you install it, if you have any functionality questions. We are here!

A business in San Marcos had a nasty spyware problem that needed addressing - to manually clean up each PC would have taken forever. Ads, popups, toolbars, the whole nine yards!
The folks at BleepingComputer.com (a computer guy's best friend) recommend a program called ADWCleaner, and it worked wonderfully.
Definitely going to add this to my repertoire, and you should too!

Java Exploit in the News: Don't panic! You may have read or heard about a Java exploit that makes your computer vulnerable to virus infection. Usually, the media likes to exaggerate these events and this is no exception. We advise updating Java to Version 7 update 11 from www.java.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001MGjuiiD9NQwYJd-apPErUi4u0yo6G219YLJpSczBl8J570PSn7NzPVNJspJogZwEMfGG9vUU-KtHvKDO64fys3Lcc_k0osPcTvVW_ZGLWE0cjuHjS7V87JZhGTasJxd8HF8AxR9-ONGDvI5pvUpUI7-woWeA0Oi9fwrbsQDV5V5jAhZ6CJHofIMLPzWVmULiPpf0LDpmtFvnE4eJDIjvrWz-BoytDN_7]. Oracle, the maker of Java, announced they have patched the problem. Alternatively, you can disable Java in a variety of more complicated means. If you disable Java, consider that many websites use Java passively. If you turn it off, you may disable something necessary. If you do want to disable Java, this link [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001MGjuiiD9NQyglD9iC0-WmFIl_I0uKYaUfh1QVq-xB7Hy-8jhXOmDMG5ECCMhyc_q3DAhe4Qr0cF5o7X69a0C7XOVBxMJBGz01jJNhcXvLyXsofftgfiQ_I9a0B2iIgtyNVZfltBCV2G7BdIBUb4I8HTaMuj1SMybqjYtchA69HKFwA-LFN0ds_nXNA0R0pMlyYz948Cdq4Jnpx5JX3x9KOfE0Vk0PbOrmsS4pjv_rEjkZRN6x65wVuAnaC3xU0cOba2g45jUoYXewe1fE-SREDofq_2WcPVTk37xy8wEWgF4x8gdh_BR-73Y6_YKYfYJAJOqFWZ9IuE=] provides a straight forward tutorial.

Cloud Backup FREE for a year!
There are about 27 ways to backup your data. We need you to choose at least one!

Even sweeter is that they are offering a whole year of unlimited data backup for free! It's designed for former Carbonite users, but it works for all email addresses.
Many of you may be on Mozy, Acronis or other programs. Don't worry, those are great too, no need to rush into a switch. We are just adding another option. If you are using "Plan Z", which involves luck and crossed fingers, then maybe you should give us a call. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
