Prevent viruses by not allowing others to use your computer account
Do not give kids, grandchildren, friends or strangers access to your computer account Unless you want to risk your data security and almost certainly pick up computer viruses, malware and spyware. At the IT Guys we like to know how customers contract computer viruses and malware and then we offer them advise on how to avoid it reoccurring. Video and Gaming sites are full of viruses and malware disguised as promises to increased speed, increase video enhancements and give gaming shortcuts (cheats). Many parents and grandparents allow their children and grandchildren to use their own computers to use such sites and end up with an infected computer. Similarly, if you let a friend use your computer without “logging out” of your account, your email and personal data is available to them. We are not saying do not let anyone use your computer or laptop, we are saying do not let them use your account on your computer as it is most likely to the master administration account that allows others to download and install potentially unwanted programs and viruses. Instead let others use the built-in “Guest account” which protects you but still allows them to use your device for browsing the internet, reading emails and even playing some games, plus you have the added benefit of being able to restrict browsing to “family-friendly” websites. So before letting anyone else use your PC, Computer, Laptop (Windows or Mac) do the following: Log off or logout of your personal or the default computer account Log into the Guest Account (if setup) Create a Guest Account (if not already setup) Then you can let others use your device with some further piece of mind 1) Log off or logout of your personal or the default computer account Windows 10, 8.1 Windows 7 or Vista Apple iOSx 2) Log into the Guest Account (if setup) Windows 10, 8.1 Change user to Guest User Login as Guest User Windows 7 or Vista Change User to Guest User Login to Guest Account iOSx Login as Guest User 3) Create a Guest Account (if not already setup) Windows 8.1, Windows 7 or Vista Goto the Search option by moving the cursor to the bottom right of the screen And in search type “Guest Account” Or through Control Panel click or tap the User Accounts section. In the User Accounts window you will find lots of options for editing your user account. To enable the Guest account click or tap the link that says “Manage another account”. Now you see a list with all the user accounts found on your Windows PC or device. Select the Guest accoun You are asked whether you would like to turn on the Guest account. Press the Turn On button. iOSx a. Go to the “accounts” preferences pane First, open System Preferences. It is probably in your Dock, otherwise you can find it by clicking the apple in the upper left corner of your screen and selecting “System Preferences” from the list. When the System Preferences window appears, click the icon labeled “Accounts”. You will now be able to see a list of the accounts on your Mac and some settings for each account. b. Add a new account Now, just click the plus button below the list of accounts (you may need to click the padlock below in order to be able to do this). When the plus button is pressed, you will be asked to enter some information about this new account. For example, you could enter the following settings: Since it is a guest account, you do not want the user to be able to administer the computer. c. Change additional preferences At this stage, you are pretty much done, but there are a few more things that you can change about this account. Click on it in the accounts list so that you see the settings for the account. The most interesting thing that you can do is to set some parental controls. To add parental controls, check the box next to the thing you wish to limit. You can also click “Configure” if you wish to specify your limits. You can activate parental controls in Finder for my guest account. This allows me to limit the Finder so that the guest can surf the web and use some other applications, but nothing more. The Guest account can be restricted into what the Guest can and cannot do. You do not want them installing programs that may infect or damage your computer and they do not want leave sensitive information behind such as login and password details.

5 iPhone failed passcodes could mean losing all data
Having work emails on your iPhone could result in all data being erased after only 5 failed passcode attempts There is a feature on your iPhone that allows the data on your phone to be automatically erased if the passcode is entered incorrectly after 10 or less attempts. While this is a very good feature to ensure that a thief cannot get at your personal data if your phone is stolen, having the phone fall into the hands of a toddler can also have the same effect resulting in a complete loss of data after the phone is automatically “wiped“. Having your data erased or wiped is not a big thing as long as your regularly backup your data (allowing a complete restore or re-install of your phone from the backup) but without that backup you could lose everything. Even the best data recovery and CSI police departments do not have a solution to recovering data from a wiped-iPhone. How to check if the iPhone “Erase Data” feature is switched on If the “Erase Data” button is switched on (green) then make sure you know your passcode and that you keep the phone well away from toddlers and infants. How could I lose my data after only 5 failed attempts and not 10? If you access your company emails on your iphone, the company has the ability to change the number of failed passcode attempts and has the option of either disabling the phone or erasing all the data on it. We recently had an employee of Woodside Petroleum (Perth, Australia) bring his phone in to us who’s grandchild had managed to get at his phone and repeatedly press the passcode screen. Unbeknownst to the employee, Woodside had changed the settings to erase all data after only 5 failed passcode attempts instead of the usual 10. We tried to recover the data but the phone had been completely wiped. More Help from Apple iOS passcodes Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled Deploying iPhone and iPad Security Overview :jk:

T Errington Dec 2020 Lawrence did a wonderful job – thank you! S Wishaw Nov 2020 Keep on doing what you are doing. I can’t fault you. M Young Nov 2020 I was very grateful to Brock who served us and gave us two 8Gb Ram chips for our 27″ 2020 iMac for only $108 total. We successfully inserted the chips into our new computer and now have 24Gb of Ram. Brock also gave us a tip on how to install them. He said install them in this order: 4Gb, 8Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb. I was grateful for that information because I would have installed them as 4,4,8.8. Apple would have charged us $300 for only 8Gb extra so you gave us a great deal. Eventually I will be bringing you my old mid 2011 computer. I must confess that it was my wife who inserted the chips with her steady hand because I have a tremor and was unable to insert them myself. R Hulbert Oct 2020 Please pass on my thanks to Laurence for solving about three problems in less than fifteen minutes. I had been putting up with these issues for months, and it is such a relief to have them fixed. Thank you for a wonderful, friendly and efficient service. G Fiegert Oct 2020 Very professional. Definitely will use your services again. F Wandek Oct 2020 yes the technician i had was very good,i was very pleased unfortunitly i have forgotten his name thank you S Tymms Oct 2020 I would like to say that I’m very happy with the service I received on Monday. My computer is running much better now- better than it has in months. I dropped it in after Austin Computers gave me a bit of a run around. Lawrence had it fixed and ready to go within the hour which suited me perfectly. Please pass on my gratitude. K Mazzer Oct 2020 Great service again (especially Curtis who reviewed my queries) and Lawrence for welcoming me on arrival. Many thanks again. C Stewart Sept 2020 I wanted to thank Curtis for his excellent service and patience helping me with email set up and queries I had with my new device at the beginning of August. I also wish to thank Brock for handling my initial enquiry over the phone regarding the services you offer. L Chapple Sept 2020 Please tell the guys, especially Curtis, that I am very satisfied with your service. In the past I have used MACWORX in Joondalup but your friendly and helpful service surpasses theirs. I will return to you in the future if needed. Thanks again. Regards, Peter Sept 2020 Thank you to the IT Guys Team as a whole, the possibility of losing all my work was stressful and the efficiency of the team was fantastic. Being IT challenged myself, I never felt silly for asking questions and they all went above and beyond to retrieve my old data and set up my new computer in record time. Thanks again! J Ostaszewskyj Sept 2020 Picked up the machine last night and give it a run… Really very impressed with the upgrade. I think my major concern was that, after changing so much stuff that I would have to dive in and try to remember all the passwords and etc but Lawrence nailed it and apart from the extra performance it was as promised – just the same look and feel as before. I will be recommending a colleague to the service for the same treatment. Cheers David Sept 2020 I would like to thank Brock for his excellent service the other day, as it turned out it wasn’t my computer but a fault at Bigpond. He has enabled me to receive my emails without going through bigpond. Totally happy with the service I received. Regards L Morrison Sept 2020 Thanks for your work, all going well with my computer. Regards R Fittock Aug 2020 I was very happy with the service provided. Prompt and efficient. Thanks, B Farrant Aug 2020 I dealt with Lawrence and he was great. Very patient and explained things well. I’m very happy. So much so I have already bragged at work and a work colleague is purchasing the family 365. Keep up the great work. cheers A Morelli Aug […]
