One of the hallmarks of being a Mac user was that we’ve been very lucky in regards to viruses, malware and other bad things out there. Recently however a new vulnerability has surfaced and it’s called Adware. Over the past several weeks we have seen dozens of local customers become infected with up to 6 forms of Adware.

Generally speaking and contrary to popular belief, as computers age, they effectively get slower.  They do so because they become eclipsed by more modern and powerful computers. The software updates place increasingly more demand on the hardware and older computers just feel slower. If you kept the old computer in a vacuum it wouldn’t get slower but no one uses their computers like that, we are all tied into the Internet and we are always updating. Those updates are often required for compatibility with web sites and other files so we have no choice but to update and the updates makes our older computers run slower. But something somewhat revolutionary has happened which finally, at long last, can not only make older computers faster but can actually make them faster using today’s software than they were way back when they were first born and best of all, it’s pricing and finally come down to very attainable levels.

Just like Festivus, it’s time for the annual airing of grievances. So without further ado...
