As I work on assignments for this week and think about this week's blog, it makes me think about many ways of applying our school work to my own world.
This week we are expected to research 3 different virus products and compare them. I have been "lucky" enough to have used 3 different kinds of virus protection. Apparently 2 of them did not work well, since I had 2 computer crashes because of viruses and malware. I am eager to research the companies into more detail to see which one would be more useful to me. Everyone wants to have good protection against viruses, malware, and spyware. I want to make sure I am using an effective product and that I don't need to upgrade to a better version of what I am already using.
Another assignment for the week is to discuss my disaster plan in case of computer failure. Currently, my disaster plan is to call my nephew and say, "Tyler, there's something wrong with my computer. Can you fix it?" Somehow I don't think that is always the best plan. He is busy and I need my computer and the information stored on it. I am hoping after this assignment that I will have a better plan than The Tyler Plan. Although I have complete confidence in him, I would be like to be able to fix the problem myself and save a bit of money in the process.
