Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

I try to keep physically and mentally fit.  I suspect you do as well.  An app for my iPhone and iPod Touch that helps is called "Moves".  It tracks my motion during the day, on walks, on bike rides, up and down stairs.  It helps me calculate the calories I burn.

I can recommend it for you in almost every way.  Let me put the caveat here, as do the makers of Moves.

Charge your phone regularly.  Moves stays "on" to capture your moves, and it does use the battery.  If you remember to connect it to the charger, at least each evening, you'll be fine.

A customer service rep at the mobile phone store we use says he has built the habit of always hooking his phone to his car charger when he drives.  He can keep it topped up almost without thinking about it.  That's a great idea.

Moves is, I understand it, also available for Android phones.  Check out https://www.moves-app.com  or the app store.

These Malware distributors are crooks, pure  and simple.  From protection rackets to identity theft, they want OUR money.

Protect yourself.  Resist.  Get help when you need it.

If you seem to have malware, immediately unplug your computer and (f you are close by Littleton, CO) call me.  Otherwise call a trusted PC tech, or take your computer to one, and ensure you are disinfected.

But NOW -- back up your data!  If you have to scrub your hard drive, and reinstall Windows, you can have your data back if you have backed it up often.
