When customers buy a new PC; they are asked if they want to buy antivirus software which usually costs over £50 for a year long subscription. Everyone can save money by using Windows Defender which is already installed on Windows devices and Malwarebytes which can be downloaded for free and used in conjunction with Windows Defender. If these two are used together they will act just like premium antivirus software like Norton 360.

However, if software like Norton is installed on your PC you will need to remove it so that it doesn't block these two software packages from working properly.

Due to the Data Protection Act being updated; stricter rules have been put in place at the I.T. HelpZone when it comes to requesting a password reset where everyone has to have a form of photographic I.D.

These include Passports, Driving Licences, Bus Passes, Student Cards, etc.

If any form of I.D. is not shown by the student requesting a password reset then they will be asked to come back when they can supply photographic evidence that they are the holder of the account in question.
