If it Smells Like a Hoax, It's Probably a Hoax |  How to Sniff Out an Email Hoax or ScamThese days there is quite a surplus of email hoaxes. Just when you think no one can outsmart you, you receive the heartfelt email from a mother about her child who just needs a little money toward a big operation. And you want to cave. But it's probably a hoax. Even worse, it's probably a hoax designed to swindle you out of some of your hard-earned dough. |
| Tips for Dealing With Email Jokes, Rumors and Spam | If you use email - and who doesn't anymore? - there are three things you probably deal with on a daily basis: jokes, rumors and spam. Just like in real life where you endure your Uncle Milton's bad jokes, your neighbor's incessant gossiping (he swears it's all true!) and the junk mail in your mailbox, there are similar minor annoyances that come along with life online. Of course, in real life, you're getting pretty good at making a beeline past Uncle Milton when he's in "have you heard the one about" mode. And wiser now, you walk the slightly longer route to avoid that certain neighbor, and you read your mailbox contents over the recycle bin. In this article, we aim to help you take charge and avoid these little nuisances in your life online as well. |

| Cyber-Quick Tip | |  Using Task Scheduler on Your Computer Did you know that your computer can maintain itself while you sleep? The Windows Task Scheduler is able to automate computer tasks to run automatically, anytime that it is convenient for you! You can set the Task Scheduler to run utilities such as backups, defragmentation, utilities, virus scans, junk file purging, scripts, documents, or any of your other programs to run at the time and frequency you specify. Scheduled Tasks starts each time you start Windows XP and runs in the background. Tasks can run daily, weekly, monthly, or at certain events (such as system startup). You can also customize how a task will run at a scheduled time. If your computer is asleep at the scheduled time, Task Scheduler can even wake up your computer to run the scheduled task. To schedule a new task: - Open Scheduled Tasks (click Start, click All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks).
- Double-click Add Scheduled Task.
Then just follow the instructions in the Scheduled Task Wizard. |
