Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, (Sun, Dec 25th)

It is Christmas morning in the US and hopefully Santa has made his delivery at your house.  Some of those deliveries may be electronic in nature.  Under our tree there are 2 new laptops for grandchildren.  The laptops have been “pre-delivered” as this grandma has purchased anti-virus and installed, has removed all of the bloat ware from them and taken care of the Windows Updates and security setup.  The machines are ready for delivery.  I hope that those of you that have received new electronic toys under the tree will take the time to secure and protect them if you haven’t already.  I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 6 little elves (grandchildren) so that we can begin our Christmas celebration.

A little later I am going to do a diary that overviews the lessons that I have learned in the last few months as I have dealt with customers infected computers.  Stay tuned.
