Short for Malicious Software, the term Malware refers to software, files or folders that are specifically designed to damage your system or steal important data, such as computer viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware, and rootkits. There are several steps you can take to protect your computer and important files from Malware: ensure your system is up-to-date using Windows Update; install an antivirus and update it on a regular basis; turn your Windows firewall on, or install a reputable software-based firewall; and stay away from untrusted websites, such as sites offering pirated software, serial keys or free adult content. Dependable HomeTech uses and recommends ESET's security software, such as NOD32 or ESET Smart Security Suite. Both will help prevent Malware from infecting your system; however the ESET Smart Security Suite also includes a firewall and anti-spam component, along with the antivirus software. Call 1-866-518-1038 today to speak with our professional technicians about the complete ESET suite of security products and make sure your information is safeguarded.]]> http://www.mydh.com/ 2008-09-30/11:20:42
If you've recently bought or are planning to buy a High Definition television in the near future, you will need to purchase an HDMI cable in order to receive true HD (1080P) picture quality. The sales staff at your local big box store will explain this to you; however, what they might not tell you is that you do not require the top-of-the-line HDMI cable that they're trying to sell you. HDMI cables vary dramatically in price. In fact, prices can range anywhere from $29.99 to $199.99. What is the difference? When it comes to the quality of the picture and sound: absolutely nothing. In fact, CBC's "Market Place" aired a segment in February 2008 which tested whether or not a $250 HDMI cable was actually worth the money. http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2008/02/20/packing_the_deal/ The only visible difference is the physical workmanship of the cable. Always look for a cable that has a lifetime warranty, such as the Tripp Lite model that Dependable HomeTech offers for $39.99. To be branded as a true HDMI cable, products must undergo rigorous testing and meet certain predetermined quality standards. Visit http://www.hdmi.org for more information on HDMI standards and specifications So before heading out to the local electronics store to invest in a home theatre system, make sure you do your research and find out what you truly need. It could save you a lot of money.]]> http://www.mydh.com/ 2008-09-25/09:27:26

And with over 9 billion computer crashes every year (source: PC Mag), can you be sure that your irreplaceable photos, valuable videos, important documents, etc. are truly safe? The scope of digital media stored on our computers these days is truly all-encompassing - movies, photos, MP3s, documents, videos, etc. It's incredibly convenient to be able to store this information in one place and access it quickly and easily, but what happens when your PC or laptop gets stolen? Or if you're faced with a fire or flooding? Or if your files or hard drive gets corrupted by a virus, malware, hardware failure. or even something as simple as an accidental deletion? There are several Data Recovery companies out there who may be able to retrieve some of the data - and they quite often come with a hefty price tag attached, averaging approximately $1200.00. Your best strategy is to be proactive. Make sure you implement some sort of system - hard drives, thumb drives or online backup - to backup your files and keep them protected.
