Hi everyone,

 

This email is the first mail out by PF Systems. As many of you might or might not know, PF Systems has recently launched a website to complement the services PF Systems currently offers. We hope that this website will provide the Port Fairy community with a useful source of help and information, a place where you can go for help and to give help.

 

Please go to www.pfsystems.com.au to check it out.

 

We hope that these first two years of PF Systems have provided you with good advice and good service and we thank you all for your loyalty.

 

Some updates and news about PF Systems

 

From now on, PF Systems will keep you updated on what's news by email.

 

Want an Internet connection?

 

As a Bigpond agent, we can now sign you up for an Internet connection. Feel free to contact us and let us find the most suitable internet plan for you. As you all probably know, PF Systems has been very active in promoting Port Fairy’s need for ADSL connection. Currently we have 120 signatories on registration of interest page on the Telstra Demand register. If you have not yet done so and want to, give us a call or go to the Registration page to let Telstra know that you’re interested in ADSL.

The shop section of our website is an online catalogue that allows you to browse just a few of our products. Coming soon will be a system builder where you can build your very own system and get an online quote. You will also find there the standard systems we offer (desktops, laptops at the best price…) from Budget to High Performance. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need a quote, a customized computer, or any product that you cannot find in our catalogue.

Protecting your computer

 

The main problem at the moment seems to be viruses. Computers are getting more and more difficult to keep clean. Increasingly our job involves removing viruses and problem software from people’s computers. Our home computers are currently being assaulted so fiercely that many people’s PCs are rendered non-functional. These programs enter through security holes in Windows, attachments in emails, malicious scripts in web pages and from programs which we voluntarily install on our computers. Kazaa is one of these programs, do not use it, instead find a copy of Kazaa Lite with all the adware removed.

 

Previously PF Systems recommended VET and AVG anti-virus as well as Spybot for removing adware. This is no longer the case. VET and AVG do not detect an adequate amount of new threats and nor do they protect against all types of current threats. As an advanced user, an updated version of windows, a firewall and a few other utilities are all that is needed to keep your computer free of viruses. But for most people the automated PC-Cillin solution will be more effective. PF Systems currently recommends PC-Cillin Internet Security 2004 as an effective solution to protecting your systems for the variety of threats which it faces. The cost of the package is $75 and 12 monthly license upgrades can be purchased from PF Systems for $55.

 

PF Systems has also recently introduced a $55 PC Service package which includes a comprehensive system clean and upgrade of security.

 

Also new to PF Systems is Flexirent. We can now offer businesses and individuals the option of leasing their technology.

 

So you can see that there are lots on the horizon for PF Systems on and off the web, so we hope to see you there.

 

Best regards,

 

Ben Druitt & Phuong-Dung Hoang - PF Systems
