The store is new, but the items are used. Tested and good, but used.
Let's hope this second attempt goes better than the first! I'm tempted to call the items "old junk," but there are some almost-new things, too. Not much of a salesman, am I? :) Anyway, one's man's junk is another man's treasure.
I've barely started with the inventory, but here's what I've got so far: nashvillecomputerhelp.com/shop

How to improve security on your home router
This assumes you’re already connected to the Internet because, right out of the box, most routers give you that these days.
To find your router’s IP address (assuming you're using Windows 2000 or newer), do the following from your PC:
For wireless security, depending on your router, click Wireless and/or Wireless Security or something similar:
To find your router’s IP address (assuming you're using Windows 2000 or newer), do the following from your PC:
- Click Start, Run, type (without quotes) "cmd", hit Enter
- For Vista and Windows 7, skip the "Run" step.
- At this Command/DOS Prompt, type (without quotes) "ipconfig", hit Enter
- Look for the "Default Gateway" address. That’s your router’s address.
- On your browser’s Address line, type (without quotes, as an example) "http://10.11.12.13" (or whatever the "gateway" address was, above), hit Enter
- It will then have you login
- To set the ROUTER’S password, click Administration or something similar
- See routerpasswords.com for typical usernames/passwords
- Type in the new password (usually twice)
For wireless security, depending on your router, click Wireless and/or Wireless Security or something similar:
- Choose WPA2 Personal as the encryption type, if possible. Second best is WPA. For older devices, choose WEP, which is better than nothing.
- Next, create a WPA Shared Key between 8 and 63 characters.
- You can then go so far as to make the router’s wireless ID (SSID) hidden by unchecking a box named "Broadcast this router’s ID?" or something similar, depending on your router:
- I’d recommend connecting your wireless devices to the router first, so they "know" where the router is, then make the SSID invisible/hidden.

Automating MalwareBytes updates and scans
Create a batch file, naming it whatever you want, with the .BAT extension. I named mine “mbamupdate.bat”
To create the file, just use Notepad or any plain text editor (not a word processing program unless you know how to Save As plain text).
The contents of this file are simply one line consisting of the following:
"%ProgramFiles%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /minimized /runupdate /quickscanterminate
That should all be on one line. And that’s it!

Automating MalwareBytes updates and scans
UPDATE: Since I wrote this article, Malwarebytes has blocked the ability to do this in their free version. And you don't need a batch file to accomplish this in the paid version. It really is worth upgrading to their paid version. It's still the best thing out there, from what I've seen.
