E-Mail Virus - Watch for Fake Microsoft Outlook Update A spam attack is now circulating e-mails
that appear to be sent from Microsoft Support, advising users of a new
security update for Outlook/Outlook Express. Recipients are told that this is
a critical update for stability and security, and are given instructions for
opening the attached zip file to complete the installation. In actuality, the
only thing that would get installed in this process is the malicious Bredolab.Y virus and a rogue antivirus program called SecurityTool�both of which could cause serious problems
with your computer.
If you receive an e-mail like this that claims to come from
Microsoft, delete it and do not open the attachment. Keep in mind that
Microsoft NEVER sends patches or security updates as e-mail attachments. Any
e-mail asking you to install such items should be considered a dead giveaway
of fraud.

updates, visit: http://www.microsoft.com/security/updates/bulletins/201001-oob.aspx

This Month's FAQ - What's The Polite Way To Decline A Facebook Friend Request? Question: People I knew (and didn't particularly like) in high
school have been contacting me about being a friend on Facebook.
What's the polite way to decline a Facebook friend
request? Sites Of The Month - Great Sites To Check Out In March Trouble Typing? Short Tutorial - Preventing Colored Lines in Forwarded E-mails When a rich text e-mail has been forwarded many times, it can
be full of vertical colored lines on the left side. These items detract from
the e-mail's appearance and can be annoying to recipients of the message.
Follow the steps below to adjust your settings to prevent colored lines from
appearing in your forwarded e-mails. You'll also find notes on how to
"clean up" an e-mail from someone else before you send it on to

window opens, click on the "Send" tab. 3. Within the

Settings..." button. 4. When the HTML Settings
window opens, uncheck the box next to "Indent message on reply."
Click "OK" to return to the Options window. 5. Click on the
"Apply" button and then the "OK" button to close the
Options window. NOTE: If you receive an e-mail that already has colored lines from
being previously forwarded and you want to eliminate them before forwarding
it, address the message as normal. Then select all of the text in the message
by clicking in the body of the message and pressing the Ctrl and
"A" keys on your keyboard. The contents of the message will be
highlighted. Click on the "Format" menu and drop down to
"Decrease Indent." Repeat as needed. 1. With Windows Mail
