Got Computer Problems? Get Answers from the Expert. North Shore Business Forum, Friday, 10/6/16 at Acapulcos, Beverly

Every time you use your office computer – even for something as simple as checking email or updating software, you are potentially at risk for exposure to viruses, malware, and scams that could disrupt daily operations or put you out of business. At the next meeting of the North Shore Business Forum on Friday, October 7, 2016 at Acapulcos, 900 Cummings Center, Beverly, MA. Mark Beckley, owner of Small Business Computing in Reading, MA, will offer a workshop that highlights the latest computer scams and rip-offs to beware of, the basics of computer maintenance and troubleshooting, and any questions YOU may have about your computer. Registration begins at 7:15 AM, and the meeting runs from 7:30 to 8:30. Admission is $10 at the door, and includes a buffet breakfast. Visit www.nsbforum.org for more information.
