E-Mail Hoax - Beware Of E-mails Threatening Internet Access
Suspension
Cyber criminals are currently using the threat of Internet access
suspension to trick unsuspecting users into opening a malicious
attachment. One version of the e-mail is supp osedly sent from the
"ICS Monitoring Team" of the "Internet Service Provider Consorcium"
- organizations that do not exist. Its message claims that this
consorcium (note the misspelling) conducts network wiretapping and
is aware of illegal Internet activities committed by the user.
Examples of these alleged activities include the pirating of
software, movies, and music.

Short Tutorial - Setting Up a Signature for Your E-Mails
A signature is a block of text placed at the bottom of your outgoing
e-mails to "sign off" and close the messages. The primary purpose of

you. Many people also take this opportunity to convey a bit of their
personality through the use of a favorite quotation or a particular
font. 1. With Outlook Express open, click your cursor arrow on "Tools" in the menu bar and select "Options..." from the resulting drop-down menu. 2. In the Options window, select the "Signatures" tab. 3. In the "Signature settings" section, click on the "New" button. 4. Enter the personal signature that you would like to appear on future e-mails. Check the box next to "Add signatures to all outgoing messages" so that your signature will automatically appear in new e-mails. 5. Once you have entered your signature, click on the "Apply" button and then click "OK" to accept the signature and close the Options window.
