So I am getting bombarded with calls, emails and text messages with the following topics.

XP is no more. What do I do? 
Simple answer. Buy a new computer, laptop, tablet with Windows 7 or 8.1. XP is 12 years old and you most likely have an old computer that is at least 7 years old. Windows 7 will not run on that hardware. I could recommend you look at Tiger Direct or Dell for the best deals. 

Heartbleed... What  do I do?
At this point in time most sites have updated their sites and re mediated their vulnerabilities. This would be a good time to change your passwords on all the sites you have an account with. Also,  you may want to look at a password manager and keep a record of all your username/passwords. Yes, you should not be using the same account credentials for all your sites. Just think about it... If you use the same account for your email as you do for your banking site then a hacker could easily access all your accounts and god knows what happens from there.
Best free password program I could recommend is keepass. 
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Thanks
Joe
