Internet

 

The Don'ts of spam mail:

 

1. Don't forward jokes and stories to all your friends. If you still must send them then delete all other addresses on the letter so only your email will show.

2. When sending email to a bunch of people don't use the CC but rather the Bcc because that way each person will only get his or her email address on the letter. If put in the CC, everyone will see everyone else's email address.

3. Don't have the preview pane on in Outlook express or Outlook because a spam mail that is web based will be notified the minute you click and view the email. Even if you only click on it to delete it. Once they know they have someone looking at their mail, they will send even more to the same address.

4. Don't ignore your cookies, delete them as often as possible.

5. Don't reply to spam mail, it will probably come back to you undelivered.

6. Don't click on the remove from list because that just confirms that they have a valid address and will sell it to other marketers.

7. Don't enter contests on the internet because the chances of you winning is even worse than you finding a million dollars on the sidewalk.

The Don'ts of Spyware:

 

1. Don't ever click inside a pop up window, it will install spyware onto your Computer. Close it by the X in the top right hand corner of the window.

2. Don't ever click inside a pop up window even if it says OK or Cancel on a button. Close it by clicking on the X in the top right hand corner of the window.

3. If there is no X in the active window then hold down the ALT key and simultaneously press the F4 key.

4. Don't install FREE programs. Nothing is free.

5. When installing a music download program such as Kaza, pay close attention to what you download because ALL these music download programs come with spyware. That is why they are free.
