Got A Virus?

Amanda was going through the e-mail and mentioned that we received between 250 - 300 viruses over the weekend. So, I thought I should mention that we still have Norton Anti-Virus on sale for only $14.95 with FREE US Shipping :-)

Now, I'm always saying that I like this prodict better than other Anti-Virus programs, but here's what one of our readers had to say:

"I've had Norton Anti Virus 2001 protection for over a year now. I have had two emails come to me in the past two weeks that had viruses and my Norton AV took care of it immediately. The first time the NAV screen came on my screen I didn't know what it was but as I read I realized that there was an email with a virus. I followed instructions and when the next virus came I knew without a doubt I had an email with a virus. I am thankful for Norton as it daily scans my computer, etc and takes care of any virus before it gets to me. Just wanted you to know that I am SOLD on NAV."

Still not conviniced? Here's another comment (note that the System Works program mentioned has Norton AV included):

"Hi Steve
I just wanted to tell you that I have the Norton System works that I ordered from you a few months back. I just got two emails with the new virus (badtrans etc) and my Norton caught both of them saving me a big headache. just wanted you to know I LOVE my Norton AntiVirus!!!!! I keep up with the live updates."

Q:
What is the difference between "bookmarks" and "favorites"?

A:
Not much. "Bookmarks" are Netscape's term for what are essentially internet shortcuts. "Favorites" are MS Internet Explorer's term for them.

They both work the same way. When you're on a page you want to get back to, you click the Favorites or Bookmarks menu (depending on the browser) and usually you'll find an option to add the page to your favorites / bookmarks. Click that, add the page, and it appears on your favorites or bookmarks menu.

Tip of the Day

Favorite Fun - Part 1

If you use Internet Explorer, you know that your favorites can sometimes get out of hand. Well, here are a few tips and tricks you'll appreciate (note that some of these tips will not work with older versions of Internet Explorer):

1. To put your favorites in alphabetical order, right-click any favorite and select "Sort by name" from the resulting menu. All the favorites in that folder will be sorted alphabetically.

2. If you have tons of favorites, you should probably put them in groups using folders. For example, if you love tomato plants, and have bookmarked all 12 internet sites that feature them, you can put all of these favorites into a folder.

To create a new folder, click your Favorites menu and select Organize Favorites. A screen will open that lets you create new folders, as well as move around your favorites.

OR

You can do the same thing by right-clicking your Start button, Explore. That should open Windows Explorer with focus on the Windows directory. If you're using XP, it will put focus on your personal directory (this tip works the same either way)

Next, open the Favorites folder. Now, right-click the right-hand pane and select New, Folder from the resulting menu. Name the folder and hit Enter.

Now just drag & drop the favorites that belong in that folder straight to it. Seems like this would be quicker to me.

3. If you would like to rename one of your favorites, (you know, the one that just says "homepage" or "Untitled document") to something slightly more descriptive, you can do so from that same Organize Favorites screen we mentioned earlier.

Open up the Organize favorites screen again, select the favorite you would like to rename, and click the "Rename" button. If you're not sure what the favorite is for, when you click it you'll see that you get a little info in the box on the left, including the URL. If that still doesn't help, double-click the link and Explorer will open the link for you.

Part 2 tomorrow...
