a.  Festival D'arte La Paz, Postponed - Was going to take place March 4, 2012, Marina Palmira, La Paz. Due to a shortage of volunteers, the Festival has been postponed to Fall 2012. Please let us know if you want to do a little bit to help make this event happen. - Contact: Mc.aureen morene4@yahoo.com,  122-9277.

b.    Costa Baja Golfing In La Paz - Courtesy La Paz Gringos - Costa Baja has a new website for their golf course, www.CostaBajaGolf.com.  They have a special promotion if you want to pay for 10 rounds for $750 USD good until the end of 2012. It's a fantastic course with incredible views of La Paz bay, but it's not for the faint of heart! Bring plenty of golf balls! - Phil Hansten, Vista Mar, Costa Baja Resort

c.  PC Technical Support Telephone Scam - Please be wary and do not talk to any tech support agents who cold call you with a proposition to fix your PC remotely. There have been many upset victims who have had their credit cards charged for hundreds of dollars. These fake PC technicians will call users via telephone or Skype and ask to do a remote access to your PC to diagnose any problems by looking for malware. These tricksters may use (usually free) software to clean your PC and then will try to up-sell you to a yearly tech support plan. Here is a YouTube video posted by Symantec documenting an actual scam incident: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhV6rIgyQ-s
     It should be obvious: Do not let anyone who cold calls you remotely access your PC or give them your credit card number! But, as it's been mentioned before, you really should be running anti-virus protection on your computer and make absolutely sure it's working and up to date. Many people get a free introductory subscription with a new PC, or buy a year of protection, then forget to renew it or turn off the virus updates. They think they're protected when they're not. If you don't already have an anti-virus program installed, or if you aren't 100% sure yours is working, up to date, or not expired, here are some very good programs you can download and use for Free:AVG Free Edition - free.avg.com/us-en/homepage  (my personal favorite)
MalWareBytes - download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html  
Avast - www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download Microsoft Security Essentials - www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/mse.aspx
Also, here is a Free Norton Security Scan you can run remotely: security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp - Alan, moderator@bajawesternonion.com

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY 2012    


SMOKEY'S GRILL AND CANTINA
Hola Compadres! Consider yourselves formally invited to the 4th Annual St. Paddy's Day Massacre at Smokey's Grill & Cantina on March 17th! We are more than feliz to announce that Pura Vida will be providing the entertainment well into the noche and once again, there will be dancin' in the street! Band starts at 8:00 p.m. All-day drink specials include frosty green maragritas and ice cold green cerveza pints on tap. Comida special features Smokey's killer rueben sandwich & fries. We will once again host the Crazy Hat or Tie Contest so get creative as prizes will be awarded. And also back by popular demand will be the chicken crap contest . . . . depending on how many pollos we can round up, we'll probably do at least two rounds so make sure you get your squares for that too ($5 US / $60 MN). It promises to be yet another great party so get your backsides and pieholes down to Smokey's and get massacred this St. Paddy's Day (Saturday, March 17th)!
