week 2: Jan 30 - Feb 3

Tech Tip:When opening a file from an email attachment ALWAYS save it to a folder first. Then open the file from the location you just saved it in. If you edit the email file and just choose "save" it goes to a temporary never-never land and will be lost.

If you see a message like either one above - do not click on it - this is a scam - Internet Antivirus 2011 is just another virus program. Use CTRL+ Alt Delete and end the task rather than trying to click the X out of it. Always be cautious about any "uninvited guests" - programs that just show up and want you to reply to a dialog box. On a Mac you can choose Force Quit from the apple menu.
