DATACON TO OFFER SPECIALTY STUDY GROUP SEMINARS!

In 2009, Datacon will be offering a series of one-day seminars for a variety of dental specialties. Our first event:

ORAL SURGERY STUDY GROUP – MARCH 25, 2009

The March 25th study group will include a morning and afternoon session. The morning session will focus on the many features that are of particular interest and benefit to your specialty. We feel that both doctors and staff will find this morning session valuable.
The afternoon session will be open to both doctors and staff as well, but will primarily focus on implementation of these features in the office. Our primary topic will be:

Tech Tips: Are You Protected?

In these turbulent times, it’s important to minimize risk. The good news is that with proper precautions, your PC is one of the easier things to protect. Current anti-virus software is crucial, but there are a number of other steps that you can take to make it difficult for potential evildoers to harm your machine:

Get antivirus protection with antispyware! It’s relatively inexpensive and an absolute must on any workstation connected to a network with Internet access. Keep your protection current; an expired account does you no good at all.
Surf Smart! Using good judgment and avoiding questionable websites can save a lot of headaches. MySpace is a hotbed for virus distribution. And think twice before downloading a file from the Internet. Do you trust the source?
Police Your Email! If you don’t recognize the sender, immediately delete the email without opening it. Even if you know the sender, think twice about opening any attachments. Turning off the preview pane is another way to lessen the chance of being infected by adware or spyware.
