    Did I do that? How to Avoid Downloading Harmful Viruses to your PC +Software Giveaway

    3

    Did I do that? Those were the words I uttered after downloading some program off the internet that turned out to be a virus in disguise. Who knew? Not me, at least I didn’t know until my computer became painfully slow. Thank God I realized something was wrong; most times viruses quietly attack your computer and you don’t even know it. Between you and me, I am a web savvy sista NOT a tech savvy one. When it comes to the inner workings of my PC, I am completely clueless. I used to wait until the SPAM emails became unbearable and the PC went from warp speed to turtle, before I would desperately scramble to find a tech guy. Until one day I realized when my PC is down, my business is down. I can’t afford to leave my computer unprotected and neither can you. If you want to protect your PC against harmful viruses and malicious software consider trying ChicaPC-Shield.

    A few months ago I wrote about ChicaLogic software – ChicaPC-Fix, which provides women with an easy way to speed up their computers. Over a year ago I wrote about using Malwarebytes to remove spyware from my PC. Truly the perfect pair, ChicaLogic and Malwarebytes have teamed up to produce ChicaPC-Shield, a software program that helps web savvy women (like you and me) find and remove threats on their PC. It also actively and continuously monitors, protects, and blocks any threat from perpetrators that can invade or hack your PC at any time. Personally speaking, I’ve downloaded enough malware (malicious software) to know even the most tech savvy of us make mistakes. Every time we visit a website, open emails, or download programs we are leaving our computers vulnerable to invasion, which is why having anti-malware software and virus protection is important.  Knowing that ChicaPC-Shield is from a trusted brand whose mission is to keep our personal data safe, helps this web savvy sista become a more tech savvy one.

    I have to admit that I heard about Malwarebytes a few years ago from the tech guys in my circle, but most of my gal pals had no clue about virus protection or malware. Thinking about how much we dread overly technical activities is exactly why I find ChicaLogic software, like ChicaPC-Shield to be useful. Their software is specifically targeted towards women like me. The user interface is easy to follow, which helps you better understand technology and become more proactive about keeping your PC protected and up to speed. Truth be told, I used to feel like finding a good virus protection program was like finding the perfect pair of shoes.  It’s a lot of work, but it feels good when you finally find the right fit.  Consider trying ChicaPC-Shield for your virus-protection needs. It just might be the right fit for you!

    SOFTWARE GIVEAWAY
    Are you ready to try ChicaPC-Shield? Thanks to ChicaLogic.com I am giving away 5 ChicaPC-Shield 2011 One Year Subscriptions. To enter just TWEET this post and then leave a comment below letting me know you did. The first 5 tweeters will win! Good luck!

    (video) GoodBye Flip and Hello Sony Bloggie Camera for Bloggers & Mompreneurs

    0

    Above you will find one of my most recent videos: GoodBye Flip and Hello Sony Bloggie Camera, taken in the BE Digital Lounge sponsored by AT&T during my time at the Black Enterprise Women of Power Summit.

    On the topic of getting into Social Media, one of the speakers mentioned how much she loved her Sony Bloggie. How easy it was for her to create a video and quickly upload it to the internet. While I knew about the Flip, I was not aware of the Sony HD Bloggie so VERY LUCKY for me to be able to do this video with a Sony Rep and find out more about this and other new cameras perfect for my fellow bloggers, work at home moms, and online entrepreneurs.

    And funny enough, as soon as I posted this video on youtube, someone said “I was looking to get something like this great review. Thank you!”. It was nice to not only hear about this new camera, being the gadget girl that I am, but also share it with you guys as well.

    While I at the moment am using my iphone 4 for most of my on the go videos, I am in the market for a GOOD CAMERA, so this might be the one. If you are curious why, to be honest I have so much personal media on my phone that I often have to download on my backup hard drive because its just too much, I would like to have a camera so it does what a camera needs to do!
