Lately I have been getting overwhelmed with the needs for data recovery on USB memory sticks. (also known as “Flash Drives, Jump Drives, Thumb Drives..etc)
Data recovery on these type of devices are rarely sucessfull. These devices are integrated memory chips with one circut board with memory attached directly to it. These devices are fine for moving data from one computer or device to another computer or device but should NOT be used to store your important data on.
If you are going to store your data on one of these drives, make sure that you have another backup copy on a computer or external hard drive at all times. Again, DO NOT STORE YOUR IMPORTANT DATA ON FLASH DRIVES ALONE!
You can purchase portable hard drives now for between $80 – $100 for a 500GB drive. This is more than you will ever need for portable data and your data is much more secure. Even if the drive fails, you have a better change of getting your data recovered.
Here are a few drives for an example from Best Buy.. <—(Click on that link). You can get these drive from almost any computer or office supply store.
I hope this email catches you before it’s too late. You can always give me a call if you have any other questions.
Have a blessed day!

As this continues, more and more people have begun to work for themselves from home. This means more people are depending on their computers to keep them alive. This is even more of a reason to either keep your existing computer in good shape or to get a new computer to suite your needs.
I have some more computers for sale including a Windows 7 laptop. Here you go…

Posted: December 3, 2011 in General Conversation, Special Offers and Coupons, Tips & Tricks| This is an Urgent Notice. I personally just received a convincing email that appeared to be from the post office. Upon doing further investigation, I found this bulletin from the USPS main site. Please pay heed to this warning. It is a Malware attack waiting to steal your information.
Here is the actual link from USPS. BEWARE OF SPAM! BOGUS DELIVERY MESSAGES E-MAILED TO POSTAL CUSTOMERS Some postal customers are receiving bogus e-mails about a package delivery. The e-mails contain a link that, when opened, installs a malicious virus that can steal personal information from your PC. The e-mails claim to be from the U.S. Postal Service and contain fraudulent information about an attempted or intercepted package delivery. You are instructed to click on a link to find out when you can expect your delivery. But Postal Inspectors warn: Do not click on the link! Like most viruses sent by e-mail, clicking on the link will activate a virus that can steal information—such as your user name, password, and financial account information. What to do? Simply delete the message without taking any further action. The Postal Inspection Service is working hard to resolve the issue and shut down the malicious program. If you have questions about a delivery or wish to report spam, please call 1-800-ASK-USPS. Again.. the best weapon again viruses is knowledge. please pass this information around. Have a blessed Day! |
