How to Clean Your Devices

Recently, my husband and I took the family for a weekend getaway to San Diego to hit up Legoland. Halfway there – my daughter started throwing up. By the time we got to the hotel, my son was down. We laid low at the Embassy Suites for a night, became the guests from hell (sorry!) and then made a recovery fast enough to hit up the park right on schedule. During the ride back home, my kids immediately asked to use my tablet and my smartphone. And it got me thinking…how germy are these devices? I had neurotically cleaned everything in that hotel room with sanitizing wipes, trying to keep myself and my hubby healthy — except my phone. My tablet. The DSi’s and iTouches. There are other things that are quite the germ magnets too. Computer keyboards. The television control. Video game consoles. Things I didn’t think much about until I read that 16% of cell phones have POOP on them. Wash your hands people! Unfortunately, it’s not so simple to completely sanitize most devices. You can easily take a Clorox or Lysol wipe and wipe down the TV remote, video game consoles, keyboards (not the screens please) and even the Balance Board for the Wii (think about it). For more delicate devices, your best bet is to use a microfiber cloth and gently rub. It’s been said that the germs will be swept away as you wipe, and I certainly hope that is true. Anything harsher can really damage your device. You don’t want to use rubbing alcohol or water.

How to Manage Your Privacy Settings on Facebook Timeline

Facebook is always changing, whether we like it or not. As we all make the change over to the new Timeline kicking and screaming, this is a great time to go through your privacy settings and make adjustments as needed. It’s also important to remember that by default, Facebook wants to make you a very social person and wants you to share share share. If you aren’t comfortable with that, it’s time to get into your privacy settings and get busy. Look at the top right-hand corner of your Timeline for the upside down triangle, click it, select Privacy Settings, and let’s go. How You Connect. This is where you decide who is able to look you up on your Timeline by your name or your contact information, as well as who can send you friend requests, Facebook messages, and post on your Timeline. Decide between Everyone/Friends of Friends/Friends. How Tags Work. You have the power to determine what happens when someone wants to tag you in a photo, post, or Check-In. Allow it anytime, or get notified on a per tag basis if you want to decide before manually allowing or denying the tagging. Handy if you don’t want pictures a friend took of you dancing drunkenly on a bar finding their way to your Timeline, or if you don’t want people knowing exactly where you are or where you were. Apps and Websites. This is where you decide how to edit your settings for what is shared on applications and websites. By default Facebook wants you be social and share a lot here, so if you aren’t comfortable, it may be best to stay away from most of these. Under this header, you’ll want to decide whether or not you want to enable the Public Search function. This controls if people can see a preview of your Timeline from search engines. Limit the Audience for Past Posts. If you overshared in the past and want to try to clean the slate a bit, go here. Any content you shared with Friends of Friends or Public will change to Friends only. I’m not sure how effective this is, because once a post is out there it’s out there, but it can’t hurt if you are seriously cleaning house. Blocked People or Apps. Go here if you want to keep certain people far, far away from you and your Timeline, or if you want to make sure you are never bothered with another application request. Clean Up Your Timeline. When you make the big switch from the old profile page to the Timeline, Facebook gives you a couple weeks to clean house. Do it. Facebook takes it upon itself to post various pictures and posts from recent years – many of which you may not want to see making a reoccurrence. All you need to do is go through and if you want something gone, click in the upper right-hand corner and either hide it from your Timeline or delete it entirely. Miscellaneous Tips. You decide how much you want to share with each and every post too – just hover and click in the upper right-hand corner and select. You can click in the upper right-hand corner of other people’s posts as well to decide if you want to see all updates from that person, most of them, or only the important ones. You can also unsubscribe completely from someone’s status updates – which I am sure will come in handy during this election year with any friends you have that are highly opinionated and don’t share your views.

How To Shop Online Safely

You’ve been eyeing something all year long, and you finally have an excuse to buy it. It’s the holiday season — and at least in this house –it’s the season of buying and wrapping things I really want and putting them under the tree with my own name on it. Really, I can’t leave these things to other people, I’ll never get what I really want that way. In all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to let your guard down and make some poor choices in your rush to snap up a fabulous deal. A little bit of caution can go a long way. Here’s how to get everything on your list without sacrificing your safety and identity, and how to avoid the crowded stores by getting it done online. 1. Speed up your PC. Some online retailers offer special deals right at certain dates and times. If your computer stumbles even just a little bit, it may be the difference between securing the deal and being left in the cold. This is especially true when bidding on items on ebay — you can miss out on a great deal if your computer starts acting up or going slow at exactly the moment you need it to be speedy. Don’t let someone swoop in and outbid you at the last minute! -Use ChicaPC-Fix™ to optimize your computer’s speed. 2. Clean up your PC. If you are going to be doing any shopping online, it is a very good idea for you to make sure your computer is free of any spyware or viruses BEFORE you start entering your credit card information into websites. Some malicious programs that could already be on your computer can steal this information, even if the site you are entering it into is a trusted and secure page. -Use ChicaPC-Shield™ to rid your computer of the nasty programs on your computer before you unwittingly hand over all of your credit card information to the virus sitting on your computer. 3. Get Secure. In your rush to score a terrific sale item, you may not pay attention to the URL (the address at the top of the screen). Instead of amazon.com you could have been redirected to amaz0n.com (a zero instead of an o). Someone could have set up this page to look exactly like amazon, but it’s not really the true site. You enter your username and password into the page, you may even enter some credit card or bank account information. Later you check the real Amazon site and they have no record of your order, because it was with a fraudulent page. -Use Chica Password Manager™ to verify the validity of a website before you enter personal. information. Click here to hear what others are saying about Chica Password Manager™. ChicaLogic is your one stop shop to get FAST and SECURE access to the best deals the web has to offer this holiday season. With many features not even listed here such as automatic form filling for super fast checkouts and automatic blocking of malicious programs, you won’t have to worry about a thing when ChicaLogic has your back!
