How a Cloud Backup Saved My Client | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB

Affordable Stress-Free Antivirus Protection | Y-Not Tech Services – Lethbridge, AB

November 25, 2018 by Tony Whitney

Affordable Stress-Free Antivirus Protection | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB

“Your Antivirus needs to update.” “Your computer hasn’t been scanned in 27 days.”  “Virus definitions on your system are out of date.” “We found 3 infections on your system – What would you like to do?”

If you have seen a message like any of the above and were confused by it, don’t worry – you are not alone. Many of the computers I look at for clients don’t have sufficient virus protection. I find that some of my clients purchase and install antivirus, but don’t know how to configure it so it ends up outdated and ineffective. [Read more…]

Choosing a New Printer | Y-Not Tech Services – Lethbridge, AB

How to Choose a New Printer | Y-Not Tech Services - Lethbridge, AB

 

I recently got a new printer for Y-Not Headquarters and I thought I’d talk a little bit about the factors I looked at when I chose to replace it. I’ll also talk about why I chose the printer I did.

Why I Got a New Printer

In this case, I didn’t need a new printer. The one I had was working fine, however, I was replacing the ink at an alarming rate. The printer I had was not one I would ever choose to use for a business (or home for that matter…), but it was given to me by a client that couldn’t get it to work and chose to just replace it instead of trying to get it to work. He nearly forced me to take it, and since I didn’t want to be rude I obliged. When I got it back to headquarters and tried it out, I found that it worked just fine. I let my client know, but he didn’t want it back, so I started printing out Flyers to promote my business. I printed about 50 before needing to replace the ink. [Read more…]

Does Your Mac Need Antivirus? | Y-Not Tech Services | Lethbridge, AB

 

I get asked this question a lot when I’m working with clients. It seems that every Windows User knows they need an Antivirus (although they often don’t have one that’s properly installed and updated), but Apple users are more hesitant about it, and I often get asked:

Should I be using Antivirus on my Mac?

How To Free Up Hard Drive Space in Windows 10 – The Easy Way

September 27, 2018 by Tony Whitney

How to free up Hard Drive Space in Windows 10 | Y-Not Tech Services

Windows 10’s next major release is scheduled to drop sometime in October of 2018 and Microsoft has announced that there is a small problem with it. The update fails to check if the PC has enough storage space to install the update. If the PC is lacking in hard drive (or Solid State) space, the update will fail, and then try again. And fail. And then try again. And fail. Well, I think you get the picture. The biggest problem with this scenario is that you will see a poorer performance from your PC while it tries to install the update, and since it will keep trying to install, the poor performance will continue. So in this post, we’ll show you a simple way to free up Hard Drive space in Windows 10. [Read more…]
