Keep Your Writing Tools in Shape: Check Your Computer Before July

Send to Kindle

As a writer you likely depend on your computer. Here’s information I learned from our resident computer tech at a meeting this morning.

I won’t go into the technical details, but many of our computers are infected with malware that has taken over as our DNS servers.  In July, the U.S. government is making changes that will block this malware and those who have it will lose their ability to connect to the internet

Verify that your computer is not infected by going to http://find.pcworld.com/72975

If the background is green, like in the image above, your computer is fine. You’re good to go.

If it is red or any other color, I understand it is an easy fix, but you will want to take care of it before the July deadline. Contact your tech person to get your computer on target for smooth sailing.
