A reminder to be aware of scams. Elderly people are most at risk and we are seeing an increase of computers being compromised. Please remind your elderly relatives that if they receive a call from someone claiming to be from BT or Microsoft (or anyone else for that matter) saying their computer is not working properly and they can fix it, not to give them access or any information. If in doubt call your provider directly to enquire but don't ring any numbers they give you and always wait an hour or so.

An important reminder to update your windows software. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-39856391 . Let your friends and family know, as this is potentially a major issue and could be a big headache unless acted upon.

The update fixes a flaw that could allow someone to hack your computer with an email - even if you don't open it.

Another worrying example of the sophistication of criminals on line. Be aware.

Beware of scams like the one reported by the BBC here.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36084989

Share with your friends to make them aware, older people are more likely to fall for this sort of thing.

The old tech support scam where a fraudster pretends to be a Microsoft agent has taken a new turn - with scammers masquerading as representatives of ISPs.

We are honoured to have been able to help the Berwick & District Cancer Support Group with their new website. This charity offers a fantastic service and invaluable help to people in need. You can see their new site here http://berwickcancersupport.co.uk/ and if you think you might be able to help and get involved just drop them a line.

The Berwick & District Cancer Support Group was founded in 1992 by a group of people who through experience knew how difficult it was to get to main hospitals in our area for cancer appointments. Our aim is to provide exclusive, free cancer care transport.

Windows XP was a fab operating system, still is, that's why a lot of people are reluctant to upgrade. Microsoft have stopped supporting and updating this operating system so your machine and data are vulnerable. If you don't want to buy a new PC why not upgrade your Windows XP to windows 7? We can do this for you, get in touch to find out costs, how we protect your data and how long it will take.
