We have recently been contacted by a company offering to buy old printer cartridges from us. but were disappointed in that all of the OLD cartridges we have been given by well meaning customers over the years turned out to be worthless. If you have old unopened original
We are all used to email accounts having been hacked. What is new is that hackers seem to be moving to other things such as Skype and we have also had one instance of an individual’s Tesco Clubcard points having been spent without their knowledge. Make sure you have a decent password for everything you do online; it should contain at least one symbol such as ! or * or & as well as having a capital letter and some numbers.

If you are using Microsoft Security Essentials as your anti- virus, then be aware, that in the industry, it is NOT very highly regarded as it has failed independent certification - again! If you want to trust an Anti-virus, then MSE is NOT the one to use. Our advice based on our experience over 10 years is that all most people really need is a decent Anti-virus, not an Internet Security product.

We do NOT sell Norton Internet Security or Norton 360 because they are inappropriate for most of our users.
