I have to admit I am lazy when it comes to filling out forms, typing in passwords, or even having to remember them at all. So I am always looking for an easier way.

I have used a password manager for years called Roboform, although it is a great password manager, it has its flaws. First off, it is not free by any means. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying a fair value for something that is useful, in my opinion it is way over priced. Secondly it can be tedious maintaining a sync between all your computers and your portable Roboform. They do have an online version which is ok.

If you are looking for a great FREE password manager, you must check out LastPass.  They provide a lot of the features Roboform offers, except for free.  They are also cross-platform compatible which means you can use them on Windows as well as Linux and Mac.  LastPass works with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. All of your password and form data is encrypted then sent to their secure servers.

If you need extended features such mobile phone support, you can get their Premium edition for only $12/year.  Not a bad deal.   I have been using them as a Premium member almost a year now and I love it.  Check them out at their website www.lastpass.com.

This is NOT a paid endorsement for LastPass, just a happy subscriber.  Enjoy!

We are now offering a service to help you setup your online backup account, install the program, and configure your online backup set for only $24.95 plus provider fees if done by remote.

We cannot express the importance of backing up your data to a secure off-site facility.  This is a disaster recovery plan for anyone who has a PC and data they do not want to lose.  You might say that you keep a backup of your data on an external hard drive.  That is all good and very wise to do so, however unless you are keeping a copy stored off-site you are not protecting yourself against the unthinkable, like fire, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or any other disaster.

Once the data is backed up, it constantly monitors for changes in your files and continually backs up new or changed files. So let us help you get your data backup plan started.
