24.01.2022 Privacy is important. If you dont want Google tracking your every move then try DuckDuckGo which is a great alternative search engine. DuckDuckGo (DDG) is an Internet search engine that emphasises protecting searchers privacy and avoiding the filter bubble of personalised search results. ... DuckDuckGo distinguishes itself from other search engines by not profiling its users and by deliberately showing all users the same search results for a given search term. https://duckduckgo.com/

24.01.2022 CvCU is looking for someone to help our one armed typist do "Capital Letters" - Applicants should note it is "Shift" work.

23.01.2022 Your Face Is Open For Business... Technology is great, after all CvCU finds itself in the technology service industry, HOWEVER, not everything about technology is without its repercussions. The public and our clients need to understand and be aware that privacy and identity theft is rampant and caution needs to be taken when authorising technology companies to share your "face" with other applications and business.... Jay Stanley a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union said... I think we should be quite worried, The chances we are going to see mischief around facial data is pretty highif not today, then soonif not on Apple then on Android. https://www.washingtonpost.com//apple-is-sharing-your-fa/

23.01.2022 Our clients are so surprised at the level of service we provide. We hear it all the time, service today is absent , you are treated like a number not as a person. CvCU takes great pride in serving our customers and acknowledge it is because of them we are in business. This is where "one" of our tag lines was born..... "Good old fashioned service for todays technology" The little things matter and you would be surprised at how many people notice, even something as simple as wrapping up a laptop power adapter in a neat and tidy fashion when customers come to pick up their laptop after repair. Its the attention to detail that sets CvCU apart from all the other Computer Repair providers. When the time comes to experience "Good old fashioned service for todays technology" ... give Peter a call on 0438 748 768

22.01.2022 Did you know by pressing the Windows Start Button and the letter "D" at the same time on your keyboard will take you to your desktop no matter how many windows or documents you have open.

20.01.2022 The Internet has opened up the world and created huge opportunities for all, BUT there is a downside to being connected. If only these internet criminals used their creative talents to earn an honest living, we wouldnt have to take so many precautions to lock down and harden our computer systems. Until that happens at which time pigs will fly and politicians will care about their citizens we all need to apply a combination of hardware and software defenses, as well as best p...ractice to keep a barrier between us and online predators. Call CvCU on 0438 748 768 to perform a "security audit" for your business and in the meantime here is a little list to help your small business minimise the chances of being hacked. Be Safe :) - Use a firewall, to create a barrier between your information and the outside world - Install Antivirus Software, Antivirus software plays a major role in protecting your system by detecting real-time threats to ensure your data is safe. - Use complex passwords, Use a password that has at least eight characters and a combination of numbers, upper and lowercase letters, and computer symbols. Hackers have an arsenal of tools to break short, easy passwords in minutes. - Keep Windows, Browsers and Programs up to date, you can use your browser to prevent websites from tracking your movements, which increases your online privacy. - Ignore Spam, Beware of email messages from unknown parties, and never click on links or open attachments that accompany them - Backup Your Computer, If your business is not already backing up your hard drive, then you need to go have a good look at yourself in the mirror. Backing up your information is critical in case disaster strikes and hackers do get through and trash your system. - Shut It Down, Always being on makes your computer a more visible and available target for hackers. Shutting down breaks the connection a hacker may have established with your network and disrupts any possible mischief. Plus its like a little long weekend escape for your computer to refresh itself after all the hard work. We all deserve a break right !! - Secure Your Router, Always log in to the router and set a password using a secure, encrypted setup. This prevents intruders from infiltrating your network and messing with your settings.

11.01.2022 Why Support a Local Or Small Business... 1. A marketplace of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. 2. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products and services based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices and services.... 3.Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions. 4. Compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community. 5. Locally owned businesses build strong communities by linking neighbors in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes.

10.01.2022 It is important to keep up with technology in todays fast paced and connected world but sometimes we forget that without old reliable technology , the new technology doesnt work. Speaking to our small business clients a common theme has been the significant price of electricity and the impact it is having on business expenses. It is a big concern and something that needs to be resolved as small business and the mums and dads running them are the engine room of Australia.

10.01.2022 A wife asked her husband to give her the newspaper... How backward are you replied the husband, technology has moved so far and youre still asking for the newspaper. Here use my iPad. The wife took the iPad and smashed a cockroach !!... Call CvCU when you "accidently" smash your tablet or laptop screen for a no fuss affordable repair.

07.01.2022 Your brain is the best computer in the world. If you put good in, good will come out.

05.01.2022 Computers, Technology and the Human Brain ...Wow !!

04.01.2022 Heres the fun flyer we developed using the "spiderman" imagery for our local area marketing campaign.

04.01.2022 CvCU Computer Services operates in the "Technology Space" Technology has served us well and opened up possibilities that were beyond our wildest dreams years ago HOWEVER like anything that is "too good to be true" there are some areas in which you should be aware of and remain vigilant. Take for instance Privacy...... ...are you aware that you sign away your privacy when using Google ...Google is tracking you even when you think you are off the air, Take a look at this video and gain some understanding on what happens as you move around... If you want greater control of your privacy and security give CvCU Computer Services a call on 0438 748 768. https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/585398735128783/

04.01.2022 Your Digital Privacy Technology is great but it does come at a price and the every day person probably does not realise how much of their personal information and personal life is being used by Google and Facebook. Ask yourself ho much money have you sent or paid Google or Facebook ? Probably nothing, YET they are billion dollar companies...How ? because YOU are the product. Convenience is great but would you allow someone to come into your house and allow them to walk throu...gh your home opening your drawers and looking through your photos, your bills, your paper records etc etc etc..of course you wouldnt YET in the digital world you do. We cannot believe how people nonchalantly buy these Home Assistant devices from Google and Amazon and put them in their house. These home devices, which Google and Amazon are trying to convince you to put in every single room of your house, are always listening, they never stop listening, or recording. Do you really want to give up your private life for the novelty of knowing what the weather is when you ask it or when your football team is playing next.. If you have concerns about your privacy and want to limit how much snooping Facebook and Google do please give us a call and we will be happy to perform a privacy audit and limit the reach of these big Technology companies from your private life. Call CvCU Computer Services on 0438 748 768

03.01.2022 CvCU is in the technology business but like everything else too much of it can have negative and undesirable effects.

03.01.2022 Small business is foundational to the fabric and character of local communities. The commitment of locally owned businesses to the local area cannot be replaced by distant large corporations at the national or even international level. An important part of the life of local communities is lost when a small business closes its doors. https://www.spectator.com.au//how-coronavirus-is-killing/

02.01.2022 Did you know that CvCU Computer Services not only fixes technology to make it work for you but we can also supply laptops and desktops at great prices.

02.01.2022 So many questions.. Was the first computer an apple ? Did GOD invent the computer ?... Was a woman responsible for the first ever computer Crash ? CvCU can answer most questions and solve many of your computer problems, but sometimes even we have to admit defeat :)

01.01.2022 So when we tell you that we cant fix the hardware in your surface laptop, please dont get offended. https://www.gizmodo.com.au//microsofts-surface-laptop-is-/

01.01.2022 CvCU Computer Services believes in everyones individual right to hold an opinion and discuss it in a civil manner. Google does not. Google recently fired an employee because he dared to say that men are different to women. He simply wanted to have a conversation backed up by scientific evidence. What Google did was totalitarian and that makes us worry for our Clients. Google collects an incredible amount of information from everyone of us and we dont know what they do with ...it. GOOGLE is storing a terrifyingly detailed record of your web browsing habits and day-to-day life. Dont allow them ... Here is how to stop them.... http://www.news.com.au//n/fa7dfe3d57fe0131b40341075fa8e157
