Tips & Warnings

• It is always a good idea to keep the components of your Windows operating system up to date. Patches and changes to plug security leaks are released periodically from Microsoft.
• If you don't like the interface of Windows Media Player or are expecting to receive attachments that require specialized viewers, you will need to find another viewer on the Internet and download and install it onto your system.
• Always scan any attachment that comes in your email before opening. Viruses and malicious software often "piggy back" on email messages to propagate.
