Be careful. Look at address of the website first.
Frank also went over basic disaster recovery implementations using a simple reserve drive back-up combined with a subscription to an offsite back-up program such as Carbonite. Frank emphasized the importance of anti-virus software whether you own a MAC or a PC. Equally important is availability of protective software no matter what operating system you are using.
