New Information:

  1. I have created a new Help Page, please enjoy and feel free to comment. You can enter comments on our Contact Page if you choose.

  2. Amazon has some new devices and abilities. Please see this page from Cnet and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. You can now teach Alexa who you are by voice and then multiple people can use the same device and it will know who you are. How to setup Alexa voice profiles from Cnet

    I have installed a couple of Amazons Blink Security Camera's at my place and really like them. If you have questions or want help, we will be here to get you started and up and running.

  3. I have been wondering around the internet and found an application you migh like to use. It is called Privacy Badger. What it does is block the advertising and others that are tracking you on the internet without your knowing it. Give it a try on all of your browsers (does not work with microsoft Edge). Privacy Badger Web Site.

  4. Started working on a new area for Ratsupport.com. The Smart Home Automation area will have information for those who need or want help with their Smart Home Devices. Just look at the Nav Menu and go to Smart Home.

    There will be tons of neat stuff, like a database that tells you how and what to say to your device. Please feel free to comment about our new information.

Thank You:

I want to thank the people at Vibralogix for their software and support. They provided the scripts to allow me to manage my Members area in a secure manor. They have other products that allow for paid downloads, secure url's etc.. I don't think I have ever had a better experience with a provider before. If you are looking to do a website or already have one, their products are something you should check into.

New and Old News Letters:

News Letters, current and older

I have suspended creating news letters, as many don't want or don't read them. I am willing to produce them again if there is interest. I will leave all the past posts online for reference.

If you have a problem reading my News Letter then you don't have the current Adobe Reader installed on your computer. To install the current adobe reader please go to this site: Download Adobe Reader

Steps that should always be taken to keep computer working:

  1. Always do your Microsoft, Linux, Mac updates.
  2. Be sure you have Anti-Virus software no matter your operating system.
  3. Have spy or addware software on your machine before you need it and keep it updated.
  4. Do your scans, the user must do virus and spyware scans on a regular basis.
  5. Don't open emails from sources you don't know and watch out for the ones you do know, microsoft for example will not send you an email, and probably your bank will not either, at least they will not ask for your personal information.
  6. If you do open one of these and realize something is wrong, run your updated spyware and virus scans then and there.
  7. If you are not on my mail list for the news letter and want to be, just go to the contact us page and tell us you want to be on the mail list, you can also use the contact page to tell us you don't want the get the news letter.Contact Us
