Multiple Anti-Virus Programs |
|
| |
We do not recommend running more than one Anti-Virus program. Often the will have conflict with each other and cause you difficulty. Uninstall one using the add/remove programs feature found in the control panel. |

Free Programs |
|
| |
When downloading free programs (Adobe Reader, Java, etc.), pay attention to the extra programs that may be included in the install. Sometimes, these extras duplicate programs you already have. Ex: If you already have an anti-virus program, you don't want to download another free one as they may conflict with each other. |

Protect Your Email Account |
|
| |
Email accounts aren't terribly difficult to hack. Be wary of any message from your email provider that asks for your user name and password. Your email provider already has that information and most likely this is actually from someone else. This is called "phishing", as in the bad guys are fishing for information. Do not respond to the messages or click the links in them. Additionally, if you receive a message from your email provider with a link asking you to update your information, do not click that link. Instead open your email settings and see if there are any messages there. |

Words double underlined in green on many of the websites you visit? Check and see if the popups point to the same website. If this function is bothersome, you may have downloaded a program that caused this. Look in your program list and if it is there, uninstall the program. Then restart your browser. |
