One Off Tutorial

which some of you might like to come to

WEDNESDAY, 26TH OCTOBER, 9am

Ring Peter on 938 9667 to book a seat!

It is titled -
How the crooks aim to rob you, or use your computer to steal from others.

This tutorial is designed to give you information that you can use today to
make your computing experience safer.

We will be looking at:

Malware that gets onto your computer uninvited
Malware that you invite onto your computer
Ways the crooks can trick you out of your money
Ways that crooks can steal your identity, and what they may do with it
Software that may help to protect you
Operating systems differences and susceptibility to attack
A whole glossary of terms, some which you will know, others which may be
new to you.

There are many examples of things to watch for, and videos to help broaden
your understanding.

The course is an interactive website that you run off your computer. Therefore
you will need to bring a USB drive to take it home with you. Thank you Peter.


On the same day, WEDNESDAY, there is a MEET & GREET’ at 2pm.

If you haven’t been to the Centre recently and would like to pop in and say hello and look around or perhaps come and see about a course or bring us some suggestions on how we could help you or just come and have a tea or coffee, please do come.

We are a friendly bunch and would love to see you. What about some of our members who have never been to the Centre, we do appreciate your membership, and this would be an opportunity for you to come and for us to say ‘Thank you’.

Q & A is on THURSDAY, 27th, at 9am

All welcome but ring the office if you would like a seat! This is on a THURSDAY this month instead of our usual Friday. We are hoping to have a speaker system of a simple nature so come along and see if it makes a difference for you!

DON’T FORGET TO ENROL FOR A CLASS IN NOVEMBER – IF YOU HAVE MISLAID THE SCHEDULE EMAIL US FOR ANOTHER.

Students have particularly been enjoying “Managing Your Computer” and we have had a number of recommendations of this course.
