Norton 2009

If you have read anything that I have written about AV software, you probably know that I have not been fond of Norton's products. This year however they have made some changes, and the changes are for the better. I absolutely love their new AV package. It does only what it needs to do and nothing more. Great AV great AS (Anti-Spyware) good deal for about $40.00. You should still avoid Norton 360 and their Internet Security Suite though.

Tip - E-mail

Ever get E-mail from someone where it has a paragraph or more of others E-mail addresses? Ever thought that might be considered rude? Well don't be an offender. If you mass mail then do the polite thing. Use BCC: instead of the TO: line for addressing. BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. It means that the persons on the list get the E-mail without seeing who else got it. Now you can E-mail your heart out and not worry that you will be giving away others addresses.
