Sun City Anthem Computer Club
General Meeting
May 4, 2006, 1:30 p.m.
Delaware Room, Anthem Center

We are excited to have Gene Barlow present to our user group this month. He is one of the most interesting and informative presenters around. He has two very important topics that he will cover for us – Internet Security and Hard Drive Protection. These are two areas that all users should be familiar with and must act to protect their computers from damage and failure. He will help us to understand these problems and how to easily fix them.

The first half of his presentation will focus on the many problems that end users face by connecting to the Internet. He will warn us of the harm that Hackers can do to our computers and how we can protect ourselves from these evil individuals. There are four main tools that every user should be running on their computer to secure their computer from these Internet predators. He will explain the purpose of each of these four utilities and help you pick the best ones to use on your computer.

The second half of his presentation will focus on how you need to organize your computer’s hard drive for maximum protection. He will also explain the best way for end users to backup their hard drives to prevent serious loss of your important files. Every user needs to take regular backups of their hard drive or face major problems when their hard drive fails. Don’t wait until it’s too late to backup your hard drive. Learn how easy it is to protect your hard drive from failure.

Gene and his wife, Linda, present to about 100 user groups each year around the country. He has been working with user groups for over 25 years and they have thousands of friends in the user group community. They represent many outstanding software vendors and will have all of their products available at the meeting at significant user group discount prices. You may find an exciting product you’ve been looking for at some of the best prices around. Don’t miss this event.

All Residents of Sun City Anthem are invited to attend.
