Using an ad blocker can help you stay safer online because they can block malicious ads that are becoming more and more popular. The concept that you only risk infection on 'bad' websites doesn't hold true anymore because hackers can inject malware on popular everyday websites via advertising networks. Most advertising network try to prevent malvertising, but it's a game of cat and mouse.

  • Microsoft is no longer providing security patches for Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10. If you use MS Vista, you should switch to Firefox or Chrome. If you are still running Windows 8.0 (Not Windows 8.1), you should upgrade to Windows 8.1 ASAP (start the Store app and click on the purple free upgrade icon). Not sure what versions you are running? In IE, click the gear icon then About. To find what version of Windows you are running, hold the 'Windows' key and press 'R'. Type in 'control system' and click OK. You'll be presented with the current version of Windows that is running. Need help making sure you're secure online? IT Xpress can help!

  • We've helped so many people who got sucked in by this scam – some losing thousands of dollars and their computers requiring hundreds of dollars in repairs. Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, etc will NEVER call you and your computer will never legitimately prompt you to call a phone number because it is infected. You should only ever pay for IT services with a organization you know and trust – not at the end of some 800 number.

  • For all of our clients who use Yahoo Mail – a great new way to improve the security of your email account. Unfortunately it requires you install an app just for Yahoo (vs using the generic 2 factor apps like Google Authenticator). But for many users adding an app will be worth the boost in security provided.
