Welcome to “Your Home & Family Computer Guide”
Friday, February 15th, 2008The Home & Family Computer Guide was started to give tips and advice to anyone with a computer in their home. Some articles may pertain to Macs or Linux but PCs running Windows is the primary focus since that’s the majority of home computers.
Topics will cover:
- Protecting your PC from Viruses and Spyware.
- Protecting yourself from online scams.
- Keeping children safe on the internet.
- Speeding up and optimizing your PC.
- Windows tips and advice.
- Software reviews.
- How to know when to upgrade or buy a new computer.
- Where the best places are to buy computers, hardware and software.
- Video tutorials and demonstrations.
Most importantly this site was created to help you so I welcome any and all suggestions. If there’s a topic you want to know more about that’s computer related please suggest it as a comment to any post.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with computers for nearly 20 years and am currently an application developer who fixes computers on the side. I understand that computers can be a great learning tool and a lot of fun. They can also be a big headache and even dangerous if a person isn’t careful. My goal is to help you enjoy more of the former and none of the latter.
Regards,
-Bert
