Change your......change this too

It seems that we are always given helpful way to remember to do other things. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't.

For instance, do you remember the gimmacks for when you are supposed to change the batteries in your smoke detectors? I tend to forget them.

Do you remember? When you change your clocks, change your smoke detector batteries. I cannot remember that for the life of me and the local news station always has to remind me.

Hmm...I'd better go check that today.


I have another little helpful gimmack for you today. One I bet you've not heard of. Why? Cause I just made it up.

When you change your antivirus/firewall, change your free software programs with new updated ones.

My subscribtion to Norton was running out and I decided (finally) to try something new and did purchase Kaspersky.

However, my laptop crashing caused me to install new programs on it and I realized that Spybot, Adaware, and CCleaner are old free versions on my desktop. Yes, these free versions update often too!

So, head on over to Download.com and search for them and grab the newest versions of Spybot, Adaware, and CCleaner if you have not done so recently! And when your antivirus/firewall software subscriptions run out next, check for new versions of free programs at the same time! A great way to remember to do that!
