Monday, January 10th, 2011 we will be closed due to inclement weather in the Atlanta area. If
From the Georgia DOT website’s Winter Advisory page: “…Significant accumulations of snow are occurring from the Metro Atlanta area; dangerous icing is expected across the entire advisory area. Georgia DOT has marshaled all available assets from throughout the state and will respond in strength but encourages the public to refrain from all but absolutely necessary driving until at least Tuesday. ”

There has been a recent wave of virus infections that are directly related to advertisements. These viruses may cause popups of pornographic images, and generally include a variant of fake anti-virus software. You can get this kind of infection just by loading an advertisement on normal websites, so it’s important to have up to date virus protection and to be wary if you see any symptoms of infection.
Criminals create viruses and then buy advertising slots on prominent websites, and while these infected ads are taken down quickly (sometimes in seconds), thousands of computers are already infected by the time they are removed.

One spill of water is sometimes enough to short, fry and otherwise ruin your laptop. However, more than the actual spill, how you react in the minutes after a spill determines if your computer will survive. Follow the steps below for a water spill. (If you have spilled another liquid, such as a soda, household cleaner or other chemical, what you should do will vary based on what is actually in the spilled liquid. Do not handle any liquids that you normally wouldn’t touch while trying to save a laptop.) If a large amount of water has been spilled, there is a risk of shock. Be careful!
1. Turn off the system by it’s power button immediately.
2. Unplug the power cord from the wall.
3. Carefully unplug the power cord from the computer (if enough water has spilled, there is a risk of shock from the power in the battery. Show extreme caution! )
4. Remove the battery from the computer.
5. If the spill went onto or into the keyboard or 'top' of the computer, place a clean towel (paper or otherwise) on top of the keyboard. If the spill came from the side, such as across a table, move the computer to a safe place and place the towel underneath it.
6. Close the lid, and turn the computer upside down. Don't do this if the spill came from the side or bottom!
Finally, make sure it was just water. If anything else was in the water, such as salts (flavorings) or sugars (drink mixes), you will want to be sure of it. How a spill is handled from here is dependent on the contents of the liquid. Often, if handled quickly and appropriately, a water spill can dry itself with limited or no damage to the computer’s components.
How can we help? We are trained to disassemble, clean and reassemble your notebook, removing moisture and water that may remain in your computer. If you’ve spilled a drink or other liquid that is not water, we can assess the proper solvent to remove it safely from your computer and get it cleaned.
If you have spilled a potentially dangerous chemical, such as motor oil, gasoline or flammable liquids, we recommend having a nearby disaster recovery or restoration specialist immediately service your notebook PC. Do not attempt to handle any hazardous chemicals without proper protection or training.
Search results on popular search engines, such as Google, are offering up more than information on the flooding in Georgia. Searches for terms like “Paulding County flooding” and “Cobb County flooding” are giving results that contain spyware, viruses and trojans. Be very careful of links and downloads from any website that you are not familiar with while searching for information on the flooding and road closures in North and Northwest Georgia.
Due to flooding and the closing of over 80 roads in Paulding County, our service center will be closed on Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009. Normal business hours should resume Wednesday, September 23rd. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We stress to our local customers to be safe on the roads in the Dallas area. As with any inclement weather situation, only drive if absolutely necessary.
If you are a user of NOD32, you may not pay much attention to it as it runs in the background, taking care of business and protecting your computer from viruses and spyware. However, ESET sometimes updates more than just definitions for your software, and you may not know you’re running an older version. There’s not much cause for alarm- these new versions mostly add new features that don’t affect the detection rate of the software, or contain new code that helps the program scan your files faster. Follow the steps below to get your anti-virus system updated.
Step 1: How to check:
Double click the ESET NOD32 Icon in the bottom-right of your screen. This should launch the program.
After it has launched, click Help in the top right corner. When the menu appears, click “About”. Your version information will appear. You’re looking for a major version number, such as 3.0, or 4.0. As of this writing, the newest version is 4.0.
Step 2: How to update:
If your version does not match up with the newest version of ESET NOD32, it’s time to upgrade. Get together your license details (Your programs username and password, usually e-mailed to you if you registered the software yourself, or included with your purchase on a CD case or ESET License form).
Head to www.eset.com and go straight to their Downloads section, Username and Password in hand. Find the newest version of your anti-virus, and download it from ESET’s site. This is when the Username and Password come in handy, as it will be at this point that you will want to type your username and password in to download the newest version.
After the download completes, run the software. Currently, you do not need to remove your old ESET program to install the new version. When prompted, tell ESET to keep your previous settings- this will bring your old Username, Password, and Daily Scan settings from your previous installation. After the installation finishes, you will most likely be prompted to restart.
Rest easy knowing you have the newest version of your security software!
