After much talk of the Wanna cry rasomware epidemic I am surprised by the misinformation of what is Rasomware. We are all familier with kidnapping. Someone is snatched and held until the price is paid for their release. The same is true for your computer. A malicious person sends you an email with a link you click that causes you to download a script. That script when downloaded is programmed to take all the pictures of your wedding or babies 1st birthday party and lock them virtually. You will not be able to unlock them with out a special password. You will be contacted by the malicious script writer. And they will offer the password for a price. What to do if this happens to you Do not pay the money. Consult with an IT professional. Many rasomware scripts are not well made and can easily be removed by a professional. Prevent Ransomware, read my post on prevention. Need help with Rasomware? Contact me today Nate@datacomtechnologies.net

So please understand if you do not know that the following comes from a genuine place and some experience. When I came up with the great idea that I would watch my son and work from home I did not know it would be so hard! So I have compiled a list of the top things I respect you moms for doing! 1. Getting in and out of the car I remember the days of jumping in the car and running down the street jumping out and having no thought as to anything else. Leaving the house takes planning sometimes the night before. I have to shout out to my Wife here, she often helps me make sure I have everything I need the night before. These days trips are planned. What time is nap? What time is lunch? Where is Lunch? Should I pack him lunch or will I make it home before he turns into a screaming little monster because cheerios are not doing the trick.
