The MacDefender phishing malware for OS X has caused a bit of concern in the Mac community. People who inadvertently visit the false "Apple Security Center" Web site are downloading the installer for the scam software and installing it. This has previously required users to interact with the software installer and provide an admin password to install the package; however, a new variant installs the program under the current user’s account and uses an install option that does not require an admin password.

I love to learn, and the computer world gives me an opportunity to do that! All of my knowledge is either School or self-taught or absorbed from friends/associates who are more knowledgeable in other computer related areas. I love networking and web design, though oftentimes you'll find me at a client's home helping them with their personal computer problems.
Running my business has allowed me the freedom to work when clients need me and yet not miss out on valuable family time. My kid thinks it's normal to have Daddy around working on computer during the night, I feel very fortunate.
Please understand that I work with computers because I love to. I enjoy what I do, I enjoy working with my clients and I would love the opportunity to earn your business!
