In a study by anti-virus firm Sophos, 79% of the IT workers polled said that in spite of their group’s instructions, many employees continue to open unsolicited e-mail messages and attachments, and to inadvertently download spyware from Web sites.

Make Your Computer Smarter

Your car can tell you when it has a problem, why not your computer?

With certain models of vehicles, you will get this great piece of technology that will email you when your oil needs to be changed, when the tire pressure is low or when there is a problem with the engine.

What a novel idea! Make your computer do the hard work and email you when something bad happens.

Over the years, I’ve seen many disasters (not with our customers, thankfully) and the majority of them occurred because no one was watching the computer logs for errors.

With the new technology that is out, we can avoid issues like my friend Bob D had – a server in his QA department died. At least that was the call we received.

When we went on site, it was determined that the hard drive was dead. Now, it wasn’t the only hard drive in the computer, nor was it the only hard drive with Windows installed on it – although it did happen to be the one with all of the data.

So after 6 hours of downtime, we bought a new hard drive, installed the drive, booted the computer up and restored the data from a remote location.

The new technology mentioned above would have alerted someone that the hard drive was going to fail before it actually failed. That way the hard drive replacement could have been scheduled to happen after hours instead of interrupting the busy work day.

Now IT Works offers such a product – it’s called PC Crash Protection. Not only will it tell you if your hard drive is going to fail – it will email us when your backup fails, if a service does not start, if someone is attempting to login multiple times or with a disabled account. Did I forget to mention – it also provides automatic anti-virus and anti-spyware protection through AVG.
