Technology Advances Today... Obsolete Tomorrow

Technology advances extremely fast. A computer you bought 6 months ago is already obsolete as far as technology is concerned. And the same with many software programs. That's why it is important to update them often and regularly.

Spammer's are always one step ahead of technology it seems. For every update software companies make in the effort to combat Junk Mail (SPAM), the Spammer's are already working on ways to get around it. One common method used by Spammer's is called "masking". They use other people's email addresses to make it appear as though it is coming from them or even your own email address.

General Information on Junk Mail (SPAM)
Sad, but true... some people don't use Anti-Virus Protection or regularly update the software as needed.  In some cases, your friend or family member may have a "worm virus" that collects all of the email addresses in their address book on their computer and sends out emails that appear to be from them. If you're using Anti-virus software and get an email from them that contains a virus, do them a favor and let them know that their computer may be infected.
