PC Security tip of the day

 

Use Outlook? Use the Auto-Preview, not the Reading Pane

If you are using an older version of Outlook, or if you have managed to reset the security level for e-mails, then you may be at some risk for HTML script-based exploits. Auto-Preview displays the first three lines of the message, enough to identify whether the message is valid, and it displays faster. Here is how to use it.

Disable the Reading Pane and Enable Auto Preview:

Open Outlook.

Choose View -> Reading Pane -> Off

Choose View -> AutoPreview

Now you can see what is Junk, and which ones may have an HTML payload.

Security tip of the day / 2012.12.15

 

Read error messages and checkboxes

When you see an error message pop up on the screen, read it! You may not understand everything, but if you look through the message, you can get the gist. Hackers can sometimes generate errors to collect everything you type and everything that comes up on your screen. If you don't understand the error, at least capture the screen. To do that, hold down the shift key and press the key labeled "Print Screen" or "PrtSc". That will put the screen into short-term storage called the clipboard. Then open an e-mail message, right click on the message body and select "paste". Now you can print it or send it to tech support for further analysis.

Aye Martino.

 

You can also use the Copy/Paste function to capture the relevant information concerning this... then create a file that can be shared and posted.:wink:

 

Thanks!
