Do NOT forget to unplug your power, Phone wires when you are not using your computer during the Thunderstorm season.
I learned a computer trick
today that's really ingenious in its simplicity. As you may know, when/if a worm virus
gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book and sends itself to
everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates. This trick won't keep
the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your address
book to spread further, and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has gotten into
your system.
Here's what you do: first, open your address book and click on "new contact"
just as you would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses. In
the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in !000 (that's an
exclamation mark followed by 3 zeros). In the window below where it prompts you to enter
the new email address, type in WormAlert. (If it tells you this is not a valid address
just say yes to add it, or ok). Then complete everything by clicking add, enter, ok, etc.
Now, here's what you've done and why it works: the "name" !000 will be placed at
the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an
effort to send itself to all your friends. But when it tries to send itself to !000, it
will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered (WormAlert). If the
first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further
and your friends will not be infected.
Here's the second great advantage of this method: if an email cannot be delivered, you
will be notified of this in your InBox almost immediately. Hence, if you ever get an email
telling you that an email addressed to WormAlert could not be delivered, you know right
away that you have the worm virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of
it!
Dial-up modem Check to see if you have a dial tone. Don't use an office PBX line or phone to test for a dial tone. Listen for the touch tone sounds when dialing the Internet.

Cable or DSL Check the lights on the router or modem and make sure none are amber or red. They should be green or flicker green. If not, reset the modem, router, and the hub by turning the power off for a minute and then turning it on again.
Next, check the settings for your network. Network settings for DSL are usually set to automatically detect the network. If the modem lights won't turn green and stay amber or red, you should call your Internet service provider or cable company for assistance.
