This is very true – those desk computer cabinets cause hot air to recirculate, reducing your computer's lifespan. Even with the door open, since many computers now intake air from the side – usually the hot air that was just blown out the back.

This issue is no laughing matter, folks.

Not all of our data recoveries are running diagnostics on a hard drive. We occasionally will get broken flash drives in with critical user data on the chip. With some delicate soldering, we can usually re-establish connection to the drive and get your data back!

Security is absolutely about layers. Ever wondered why computers get infected even though they have antivirus installed? This article explains how it is done. Viruses change constantly and it's a game of whack-a-mole for the AV companies trying to keep signatures 'current' and detect new viruses using heuristics.

It IS possible to stay safe online and drastically decrease the chances of getting infected:

1) Make sure you have a strong anti-virus running. MS Security Essentials is BASIC protection. Go with a package that routinely places in the Top 5 in AV tests (we currently recommend BitDefender)
2) Keep your software up to date. Windows Updates, Browsers, Adobe Flash/Reader, and Oracle Java. Don't know what Java is? Uninstall it and see if you notice (you'll get prompted for it on sites that use it). If you don't – you're safer not having it. If you do, grab the latest JRE version from http://java.oracle.com/ Our My ITXpert…
