This session will help you to understand
what is going on behind the scenes while you are using the
Internet. Gene will show you the world of Hackers and how they
can take advantage of your computer and information without your
knowing that it is happening on your computer. Then he will
describe the many things you need to do to protect your computer
from these hackers. Internet Security is a major problem today
and one that you need to understand and know what you can do to
prevent serious problems. You owe it to yourself to attend this
session.
Gene will then show you how
to set up and tailor your desktop using Optimal Desktop Pro

color to make things easy to find and remember. Setting up
and tailoring your desktop makes using this product simple
and fun to do. Finding the information you want on your

last session
will help us understand the features of Acronis True Image
software used to back up the contents of your

are very quick. This product received the Editors Choice
