The next presentation of DACS will be on the topic of keeping your computer healthy after the purchase. Now that the dream computer is into your hands, how do you keep it in tip top shape, and how to keep it away from viruses and attacks from the outside?

Bruce Preston, a long time computer consultant and moderator of the questions and answers session of each DACS general meeting is well versed in all aspects of computer. Bruce will briefly cover and explain Adware, Spyware, Malware, Trojans, and other uninvited guests then continue on how to cleanup your system to keep it working properly by elaborating on AdAware, Spybot S&D, MSConfig, Regedit, Shooting the Messenger and how firewalls what they do and don’t do.

Presenting with Bruce will be Jeff Setaro, DACS own computer virus specialist. Jeff will cover the basics of buying a computer, especially what types of computer are best suited for your particular situation whether you are a home user, a small business or a professional user. Jeff will examine the advantage of retail vs. direct purchase.

Jeff and Bruce, both DACS officers, will cover many aspects of the computer just before the purchase and how to keep it running smoothly after the purchase. The presentation will help in optimizing your investment on a computer and how best to invest your hard won dollars. If you envisage a computer purchase in the near future or if you recently bought one, the February meeting will be most pertinent. This presentation is well timed for my college bound son who is considering investing his hard earned money on a laptop later this year.
