Alternative Internet Browsers The reasons for using a different browser vary:
some people desire more features, some prefer a different interface,
and some people desire more security. It should be noted that
Microsoft does not allow users to update Windows through other
browsers; however, automatic updates may still be used to keep your
system up to date. |

Protect Your Computer Lightning and power surges can wreak havoc on your computer's internal components. Even unnoticed fluctuations in current flowing into your system may degrade performance and cause gradual damage to your hardware. The simplest solution is to purchase and install a surge protector. Surge protectors plug into an electrical outlet and offer multiple outlets through which you may provide power to other devices; however, their most important feature is the ability to prevent powerful electrical surges from destroying the equipment that is plugged into them. One of the most common mistakes when purchasing a surge protector for a computer is to neglect to buy one which will protect your modem. Dangerous currents may travel through the telephone line (or coaxial cable) and damage your modem; sometimes the current continues beyond the modem and damages the computer. When purchasing a surge protector, you should make sure it has the appropriate ports for either a telephone line (if you have dial-up or DSL) or coaxial jacks (if you have a cable-based Internet service). Precaution should be used when buying a surge protector. Some "power strips" appear identical to surge protectors but offer no real protection. When purchasing a surge protector, check for the words "surge protection" or similar on the packaging or ask a sales associate. Surge protectors offer great protection for little cost. All
computer users should invest in surge protectors to protect their
systems. |

Warning: Scammers Send E-mails Pretending to be from the IRS A spate of fake e-mails claiming to be from the IRS have surfaced again in many e-mail inboxes. These are from foreign scammers, pretending to be IRS agents, promising tax refunds in exchange for social security numbers and other confidential information. The IRS has announced that it never requests information from tax payers through e-mail. For more information on this scam, go to http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=151065,00.html. |
