For clarification on our previous post regarding the red X button: The article was about the red X because that’s what most people know, but it also applies to closing an application in any standard method not involving any actual force-terminate means. This includes the red X in the top right of the ‘window’ or form, the ALT+F4 keyboard combination, and also even by using the standard “End Task” option within Windows Task Manager!! See the...
This pic describes exactly why I recommend people NEVER use the form’s X button in the event of suspected adware, spyware, MALWARE, or any other random POP-UP… DO NOT DO IT. EDIT TO CLARIFY: This article is about the red X in the top right of the ‘window’ or form, but also includes other methods such as the ALT+F4 keyboard combination, and also even by using the standard “End Task” option within Windows Task Manager!! See the update at...
I was recently made aware of a social media post several days ago by “Instant Housecall” (the remote support software with the first generation d7 integration agreement) which touted: Improvements to Auto PC Repair (remote d7) have been rolled out. Faster startup, stability and new back end. This statement seems to have caused some confusion for our mutual clients, so I just wanted to clear this up for everyone. There are NO updates to the...
How can I consolidate my data for imaging?? Backing up to image files is largely preferred by some users because it’s a lot easier to mount files like virtual hard drives for simple searching and recovery. You would need to consolidate all your data to be backed up to one partition to make that feasible. You could have the files such as My Documents, My Photos, My Music, My Videos and so on redirected to...
How to I get the data off my devices?? There is backup and storage space available online for free (5GB for iOS/iCloud, 15GB for Android/Google Drive, 7GB for Windows Phone/SkyDrive), but getting all your data from all your devices could be tricky. You can get local copies of all your files on your computer to Google Drive or SkyDrive, if you have installed their applications. You would just have to add the files to the...
How do I back it up?? First, you would make sure that your disaster-recovery and backup software is selected. Both, Windows 7 and 8, applications that are integrated to can complete system-recovery images. Although, in Windows 8 it’s hidden under Control Panel > All Items > Windows 7 File Recovery. The routine to restore is not always successful, it can fail with a change just as simple as replacing your hard drive with a smaller...
Where do I need to back it up to? I’m just going to guess that you don’t have a tape backup drive, you may not even have an optical drive. But, if you do, there is nothing wrong with keeping a backup, or more, on a disc. I don’t think I would do things that way, older technology slows the process down a lot. Some broadband connection has enough upstream bandwidth to backup data through...
