Hacked Email - What Are You Going To Do? + Have Your Voice Heard - Browser Feedback For Everyone + What Email Is Right For You? ] 11/28/2011


Firefox Feedback

Face it, we’ve all got opinions and ideas – whether they’re good or bad; positive or negative. Good news for Mozilla Firefox users, though – you can now submit your opinion or idea straight to the developers in a few short clicks. Don’t like the way Firefox handled a page or function? Let ‘em know! Think you have the next best idea for web browsers? Send a message!

In Firefox, just click Help>Submit Feedback…



You’ll be taken to a site with three choices: Firefox Made Me Happy, Firefox Made Me Sad, and I have an Idea for Firefox.

Just click the appropriate icon and start typing! You can even include the URL of the site that was giving you a problem. When you’re done, click Submit Feedback.



Be heard!

Computers 101

I opened an e-mail from a “work from home” ad. Before I knew it, is has taken off and has sent it to all the contacts in my address book; not once but it continues to do so daily and I get repeated e-mails from them to stop sending, but I do not know how to put a stop to it. Any suggestions?
As you may have already guessed, your e-mail account has been hacked… Something that can definitely be quite upsetting. You’re probably wondering how it happened, how your data has been affected and, most important of all, how to stop the hacker. The first thing to keep in mind is that getting hacked can happen to anyone. While you can avoid the majority of hack attempts by deleting e-mails from unknown senders and not opening strange attachments, everyone is susceptible to hacking. Knowing what to do if it happens can make dealing with the situation much easier.
Change Your E-mail Password
As soon as you discover you’ve been hacked, log into your e-mail account and set a new password. The exact process of changing your password will depend on your e-mail service provider, but the option is usually in your e-mail settings. You’ll want to pick a password you can remember, but that others will not be able to guess easily.
Notify All Your Contacts
Send an e-mail to everyone in your contact list or address book and notify them that you’ve been hacked. Warn them not to click on any links within the e-mail you sent or open any attachments. Rather than sending out individual e-mails, which could take hours if you’ve got a lot of contacts, draft one generic e-mail, type your e-mail address in the To: field and enter all your contacts in the BCC field. BCC, which stands for ‘blind carbon copy,’ allows you to send an e-mail to multiple recipients without the recipients being able to see who else you sent it to.
Clear Your Cache & Cookies
Once you’ve taken care of damage control, you should clear out your Internet browser’s cache and delete any cookies on your computer. The cache is a folder where temporary Internet files are stored. If you are unsure where to find the cache on your browser, try typing cache in your browser’s help menu. Cookies are small text files that contain information about specific domains. These files are stored on your hard drive and called into play when you visit the cookie’s domain. You’ll typically find the button to clear your cookies in the same menu as your cache settings, but if you cannot locate it, search your browser’s help menu.
Scan Your Computer For Viruses
Activate your computer’s antivirus program and check for any problems. If you don’t update your software regularly, you should. Updating the software allows it to detect the latest viruses and malware before running the program. Running an out-of-date antivirus program might yield faulty results, so take the time to update before you run it. If your computer does not have antivirus software, get it immediately. You could face data loss, e-mail hacking or identity theft if you do not have an antivirus program running on your computer.
Test Your E-mail
If you want to make sure you’ve solved the problem, create a new contact with an e-mail address at the top of the alphabet, such asaaa@abc.com. If your computer is still infected with a virus, you’ll get a notification when an e-mail sent to the above address does not go through. Should you receive a failure notification for this e-mail address, repeat the above steps. Make sure you’ve got the latest antivirus definitions installed or consider trying a different antivirus program if the problem persists.
Hope that helps!

MS Word: Color Backgrounds for an Entire Paragraph

There are times when I’ve found myself working in MS Word, and I’ve needed a title or header for a page or section that was more of a title bar… something like this:
To create it, I could choose a text box and then format it appropriately but the reality is that  it’s not necessary.

Web-Based Email vs Client-Based Email
http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/ct-images/6968-video.jpg

Of all the problems people have with computers, probably the most common is email. This is due in large part to the fact that email is probably the most commonly used element in a computer. Because answers to email questions usually require some information about the delivery method, many of them will begin with another question, “Are you using web-based email, or client-based email?”.

Everyday Health

Welcome to Everyday Health where you’ll find an assortment of health information, tips, symptom checker, drug information, and so much more!
Navigation is easy! There are navigation tabs across the top of the page with links to the major categories:  Health A-Z, Drugs A-Z, Symptom Checker, Food and Fitness, Community, and Health Tools. Then if you scroll down the main page you’ll find the latest in health news, featured articles, diet and weight loss groups, and more!
Registering for an account here provides you with the ability to join the discussions around the site, create a blog, and to track your exercise and diet progress.
Registration is free and easy. You can log in with your preferred network (Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, LinkedIn, Windows Live, or AOL) or you can create an account using the registration form. I just used the F-connect option for Facebook, and then filled out the form to link my account. But if you want to use the form you will need to provide your e-mail address, name, gender, birth date, country, zip code, and create a username and password. You can also check the boxes for the types of health information that you are interested in. Then click the blue Register & Continue button.
Then the site will present you an offer that you can skip, and a selection of recommended newsletters based on your interests.  You will also be given the option to save and continue creating your profile, or saving and skipping the profile creation. I’ll be honest; I always skip creating a profile so that I can get right to exploring the site. Then if it ends up being a site I use all the time I go back and fill out the profile.
You’ll then be sent a welcome message to your inbox on the site, and a welcome e-mail to the e-mail address that you provided.  The welcome message will give you a rundown of six different things you can do to get started, or you can be wild and just go explore the site!
This site has a lot of great features that makes it worth bookmarking for later visits like the symptom checker and medication information. Plus, you can stay on top of the latest in health news. So why don’t you check it out today?
