Off line computer--turn off security
Comments (2)You might be able to go to Control Panel/Security Center/under Resources in the left hand column/Change the way Security Center alerts me/uncheck Virus Protection - Alert me if my computer might be at risk because of my virus protection software settings. This may turn off the popup, but not the antivirus software. Probably need to know which AV you use to know how to turn it off....See Morehome security of america - do not use this company
Comments (1)Most if not all home warranty company's have lots of tiny print that make it very difficult to have a claim approved. As the expression goes, the devil is in the details. That said, you say "new home" Is it new construction..or new to you? I ask because a septic system would be covered under a builders warranty, and if the home is new, that would be your best avenue to pursue. If not...did you have the system fully inspected prior to purchase? If so, then you may have some recourse there...that is provided that the septic inspection contract does not also have similar disclaimers. Did the seller fill out a disclosure form? If so, what did they disclose regarding the septic? That too may be another option to pursue... Bottom line, the best advice is to not go with any company if you have not read the fine print first....See MoreWhere at home do you compute? (use laptop, surf net, etc)
Comments (26)We generally lounge in the living room with the laptop and iPad while watching tv. I take the iPad with me wherever, be it the kitchen for a recipe, up to the library (I know, sounds grand, but it's just a 9x13 bedroom I converted), or outside. They slide under the couch when not in use. We also have a desktop in the office (another converted bedroom, we only need 1 and have 3). DH mostly uses that for things like paying the bills, photo editing since he is really into that and it needs tons of processing capacity, and I use it when I need to print things. Someday I will updat my iPad software so I can print, but I've got other stuff to do. We also have assorted cords for things on every window sill downstairs. I am trying to find a place for a charging station thanks to GW. I would LOVE to get all that stuff organized and tucked away. I think the above suggestion to think about why you gravitate to the current location will help a lot with where to put a computer area in the new space. For me, since I do not currently have a job that requires me to tote a laptop around, it's not a big issue. Plus between residency and traveling to assorted professional meetings I have become pretty good at balancing a computer at just about any angle. Being tied to a set spot with an actual chair to sit upright in feels a bit boring now. I also like to multitasking my time wasting/procrastinating....See MoreWhat are you doing for your security system?
Comments (26)A lot of prices depend on the size of your home and the quality of the security system you choose. I really don't think you'd have much of an issue with your house, just going off of what you described. It's also a wise investment--like you said, it's an extra cost, but I think security is worth that cost. If you're still thinking about getting one for your house I would suggest asking friends and family for recommendations. Then look up security installation services in your area and see which ones have the best reviews. Good luck to you! http://www.virginiasecurity.com...See MoreMichael
