How to manage your E-mail inboxHow to manage your E-mail inbox * Get a good spam filtering solution in place. If 99% of the spam coming in doesn’t just vanish, you need to switch. Get rid of the time you spend looking at and thinking about spam, and of the time you spend looking at the spam folder to make sure you didn’t lose any good mail. There really are solutions that good out there. *Check your inbox first thing in the morning then dip into it every hour or so. It’s better to give your inbox quality time than your continual attention. * If you piled up a bunch of subscriptions to email newsletters, If you’re not reading them any more, unsubscribe. If you can’t figure out how to unsubscribe, set up rules to delete them on arrival. * If it takes 2 minutes or less to respond to an email, do it right away, as quickly as possible. Most emails only require a couple of sentences to reply. Do those now. If it’ll take some thought or more time to write a response, tag it “@reply”, to be replied to later today if possible, and archive it. * Audio and visual alerts serve only to break your concentration. It’s much better to turn them off unless you need to respond to customers immediately. * Whatever set of techniques you end up choosing, the most important thing is to apply them consistently. When you get down to the ZEB (zero email bounce) point and get that smile on your face, remember what worked for you and do it again and again and again. If you attend to your email every working day, eventually good inbox hygiene will just be a habit and you can spend your time doing your real work instead of dreading the mess. * Don’t be fooled into thinking that every e-mail requires an immediate response when a reply within 24-hours is acceptable. * Don’t ignore the tools supplied by Microsoft and the like to help you to differentiate between messages. You can colour code incoming messages to indicate important senders, clients and the boss. Computer viruses? Description, Prevension and recovery A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. Many personal computers are now connected to the Internet and to local area networks, facilitating the spread of malicious code. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services such as the World Wide Web, e-mail, and file sharing systems to spread, blurring the line between viruses and worms. An e-mail virus travels as an attachment to e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim's e-mail address book Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game) but instead does damage when you run it. Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically. Trojan Horses are closely related to computer viruses, but they differ in that they do not attempt to replicate themselves. More specifically, a Trojan Horse performs some undesired yet intended action while, or in addition to, pretending to do something else. A common example is a fake login program, which collects account information and passwords by asking for this info just like a normal login program does Spyware is software that tracks your actions and or your Internet use. It can capture what you type on your keyword, including passwords, and send it to the spyware creator. Spyware is similar to a Trojan horse in that users unwittingly install the product when they install something else Adware is a form of spyware that collects information about the user in order to display advertisements in the Web browser based on the information it collects from the user's browsing patterns Following are the Symptoms of a computer virus You can protect your computer against viruses with a few simple steps *On the computer, turn on the firewall *If you are truly worried about traditional (as opposed to e-mail) viruses, you should be running a more secure operating system like UNIX. You never hear about viruses on these operating systems because the security features keep viruses (and unwanted human visitors) away from your hard disk. *Use updated antivirus software on the computer *If you simply avoid programs from unknown sources (like the Internet), and instead stick with commercial software purchased on CDs, you eliminate almost all of the risk from traditional viruses *Use updated antispyware software on the computer *Do not open an e-mail attachment unless you know who sent it. Even then, it's not totally safe, as a sneaky virus that has infected a friend's computer can access the e-mail address book, send a message to everyone, and attach itself. To be completely safe, scan the attachment with your anti-virus software before you open it *You should never double-click on an e-mail attachment that contains an executable. Attachments that come in as Word files (.DOC), spreadsheets (.XLS), images (.GIF), etc., are data files and they can do no damage (noting the macro virus problem in Word and Excel documents mentioned above). However, some viruses can now come in through .JPG graphic file attachments. A file with an extension like EXE, COM or VBS is an executable, and an executable can do any sort of damage it wants. The only defense is never to run executables that arrive via e-mail. *Keep the computer operating system up-to-date *Regularly back up your files. Should your system become infected, you won't lose valuable data. For best and affordable pc always turn to ELECTRO COMPUTER WAREHOUSE where P4 are sold for as low as $77
