Over years working with customer to troubleshooting Telstra Mobile Broadband problems, a Telstra help desktop technician revealed an internal secret to me once that I'd like to share. There is a hidden menu on Telstra modems you might find it's very helpful.
People say Information is free. Knowledge is not.
Information: Facts provided or learned about something or someone.
Knowledge: Information and skills acquired through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.
That's correct. However, with right information, you can still help yourself before seeking professional help.
Here we have some great free AntiVirus programs and utilities to share:
I received an email last night saying my parcel couldn't be delivered by FedEx. In the first glance it looks ordinary, since Fastway, TNT and even AuPost started to send notice by email sometimes. BUT there is a zip attachment.
Windows 10 Anniversary Update (1607) has been released for quite a while. It causes so much problems and many people just want to wait and see:
Windows 10 free upgrade deadline has expired, but can we still activate Windows 10 using a Windows 7 or Windows 8 Product Key for free?
Microsft said that Windows 10 free upgrade stopped at 29/07/2016, so it did. Now you can't see the upgrade icon on your taskbar anymore, but do you have to pay $149 to upgrade to Windows 10? Not necessarily so far as long as you have the correct edition of Windows 10 TH2(1511) Installer ISO. Just run a clean Windows 10 install and use your Windows 7/8 Product key, you can still activate your new Windows 10. (Tested on 31/08/2016)
How can I safely install software from the Internet? A question often asked by customer after their computer has been infected and then cleaned.
Although Microsoft has stopped Windows 10 free upgrade at the end of last month, there are more people coming and want their Windows 7 back. Those people either get used to Windows 7 or just simply don't like Windows 10. After all it looks a little bit similar to Windows 8. But the techs/geeks know, Windows 10 is way better than Windows 8.

In Taree area, some customers use Telstra Broadband as well as their email services and the bigpond email settings can be tricky. Here is the most recent cheat-sheet for bigpond emails.
Is that possible? Certainly! I upgraded an old Dell laptop which was running a very slow Windows Vista system last week. However, there is no meaning of a true upgrade procedure directly from Vista. You have to backup user files and reformat your harddrive and then install Windows 10. After that, there are possibly missing hardware drivers which you need to download and install.
'Locky' is spreading quickly round Australia and people have lost their money and are forced to pay the ransom.
Do NOT open an email and attachment even if it appeared to come from Australia Post.
The most important thing to do is, regularly back-up your computer's data on a separate hard drive. If your computer is infected by malware or ransomware you can easily restore your data.
