PSA...Back-up and Protect!

So, if some of you are wondering where I've been, why I haven't been returning e-mails and where your designs are, I've just spent many, MANY, many hours reformatting my computer and reinstalling EVERYTHING on to it...BLAH!

I wasn't using a current Anti-Virus program (shame on me) and I found out the hard way why you should keep those programs current and updated. I'm VERY thankful that 99.8% of my work was completely backed up onto an external so I didn't lose anything major, other than very precious time.

So, my Public Service Announcement to you is two-fold.
#1 - Make sure you're using a good Anti-Virus program and keep it updated, and
#2 - Be sure to always back up your work on a regular basis...just in case!

I totally know how that feels because that happened to me. So, I went out and bought a Mac and I don't regret it one bit!

Get a Mac!!!

Have you tried either AVG or Avast! anti-virus. They're both free. I used them when we still had pcs. We use Avast! at work.
