Beware
an email purporting to be from bill@microsoft.com or support@microsoft.com. It’s
likely a virus – W32.Sobig.C@mm, a
mass-mailed worm that sends itself to all the email addresses found within
infected computers. The body of the email says simply “Please see the attached
file.” The worm spread quickly across the web because the “from” address
seemed legitimate, causing the recipient to open the attachment, thereby
infecting his computer and sending the worm to everyone in their address book.
This
threat is a good reminder to be cautious about opening attachments, especially
when the origin is questionable. (But remember, even email that looks as if
it’s coming from a reliable source may be infected and may not be sent from
whom it appears.) We also encourage users to install virus-scanning software and
to frequently update its security software.

Get advice. Get information. Get involved. Most
of the newer versions of email programs include a bonus spell-checking feature.
To spell check your messages before sending them, follow these steps. For
Microsoft Outlook, click Tools, then Options, then Spelling. Choose the options
you prefer. If you select “Always check before sending,” the program will
check every message after you hit the send button, giving you the option to
correct misspelled words. The
spell checker will highlight and display the misspelled word along with a
suggested correction. It will flag words that aren't in its dictionary. This
will include some words that are actually spelled correctly and some names. (See
note at the end of this section.) Choose
the correct spelling and then click "Change" or select
"Ignore" or "Skip"
to go to the next word the spell checker program does not recognize. If the
correct spelling doesn't appear in the list of suggestions, then type the
correct spelling for the word in the "Change To" box and click
"Change." If the word is spelled correctly, you can add it to the
spell checker's dictionary by clicking the "Add" button. Be sure the
word is actually spelled correctly before you do this. Repeat
these steps until the spell checker stops giving you suggestions for incorrectly
spelled words. The spell check is now complete.
