Still using yahoo, gmail, or hotmail?

Many dental offices still use their yahoo, aol, gmail, or other free email address as their professional email address. We recommend setting up a personalized e-mail address for your practice. This means registering a domain name i.e. www.drsmith.com or www.smithsmiles.com and then setting up an e-mail address for the office like info@drsmith.com or office@drsmith.com. Once you have the domain setup you can setup several domain names so you can use inter office email to communicate with your team.

Having an e-mail address with your practice name is much more professional than a yahoo account and represents your office better. Here is an article from Godaddy that explains more of the benefits of having a personalized e-mail address for your practice.

If you already have a website, your host should be able to set these e-mail addresses up for you. If you need help give us a call.

Got the Malware Blues??

There is a lot of malware running around right now. We get several calls a week to remove these annoying little programs. Here is a quick fix if you find yourself infected. First, try to avoid sites and emails that look suspicious, the best fix is to not get them in the first place. If you do find yourself infected, stop what you are doing and relax. A lot of the questions and popups are tricks to make you further infect your computer. If you still have internet access, download Malwarebytes and run the install. Ignore the popups if they keep occuring. Once you are in malware bytes choose quick scan and then choose remove all problems. This should get you running again and remember to keep your antivirus up to date and be safe when surfing.
