Suggestions for
Email and Security:
- Select a good anti-virus program for your computer such as
Norton Anti-Virus and keep it updated daily.
- Select a good firewall program such as
Black-Ice or
Zone-Alarm to keep out hackers.
- Select an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) that advertises that they
block spam and pop-up advertising. One recommendation is to
look for ISP's that use
BrightMail anti-spam services. Unfortunately the options
are often limited in the case of cable providers to just those in
your local area such as Time
Warner Road Runner cable or
Verizon
DSL.
Check your connection speed here. Cable service is
definitely the way to go if you can get it in your service area
since it is 10-15 times faster than dial-up Internet service.
- For those using Microsoft Outlook, consider using
Cloudmark spam filter
which uses shared online database to identify and place spam in a
separate folder from your inbox.
Please send suggestions and comments to the
webmaster.
