Warning! – For Windows Live ID Users

If you receive an e-mail like the one pictured here that appears to be from Microsoft Customer Support, be careful. There are fraudulent e-mails now circulating that have a subject line about confirming your e-mail address for Windows Live ID. They are not from Microsoft as claimed, and are simply part of a phishing scam.

Ironically, the e-mail's message pretends to actually be concerned about the security of your personal information and recommends that you don't click on the links placed in the e-mail. Instead, it says to copy and paste the desired link into your browser's address bar.

Microsoft reminds users that it will never ask you to provide your username, password, date of birth, country, credit card information, or other personal information via e-mail. And you should never enter your password anywhere besides the official Windows Live ID sign-in page.

Here are additional tips to help you avoid phishing scams:

• Your first level of defense is to secure your computer. To do this, keep your firewall turned on and make sure all of your software (including antivirus and antispyware software) is up to date, along with your operating system.
• Do not click on links within an e-mail unless you're absolutely certain about the source, and don't reply to suspicious e-mails.

Scammers know that a small percentage of users will fall for their tricks. Armed with information, you don't need to be one of them.

This Month's FAQ – What Is An IP Address?

Question: What exactly is an IP address and what is its purpose?

Answer: An Internet Protocol (IP) address is an electronic serial number that takes the form of four numbers separated by dots; an example would be 12.345.678.90. Every machine connected to the Internet—computer or any other Web-enabled device—has a unique IP address. Wherever you browse online, send an e-mail or instant message, or download a file, your IP address functions like a vehicle license plate to enforce accountability and traceability. IP addresses are used by routers to forward messages from one computer to another over the Internet.

Short Tutorial – Creating Compressed Files And Folders

Compressing files and folders decreases their size so they take up less storage space and can be transferred to other computers more quickly than uncompressed files. (You might think of this process as the electronic version of using vacuum-compression storage bags for extra clothes or blankets.) It's particularly handy, for example, when you have a long list of files to e-mail to someone, since you'll be able to attach just one compressed (or zipped) folder with everything in it instead of attaching 10 or 12 files individually. To create compressed files and folders, follow the steps below:

Creating Compressed Files and Folders Using ...
Computer Operating System: Windows XP

1. Using the "My Computer" method, click your cursor arrow on the "Start" menu and then click on "My Computer."
2. When the My Computer window opens, locate the file or folder you would like to compress.
3. With the file or folder selected, click on the "File" menu. Select "New" from the resulting drop-down menu and then select "Compressed (zipped) Folder" from the secondary drop-down menu.
4. When the compression is complete, your new zipped file will appear; the icon for the file or folder will appear to have a zipper on it. Type a name for the new compressed file and press the "Enter" key.
5. Alternately, you can right-click on the file or folder you would like to compress and select "Send To" and then "Compressed (zipped) Folder" from the resulting pop-up menu.

Creating Compressed Files and Folders Using ...
Computer Operating System: Windows Vista

1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you would like to compress.
2. When the pop-up menu appears, select "Send to . . ." and click "Compressed (zipped) folder" from the submenu.
3. A compressed file is created using the name of the folder or file you are compressing. The icon for the compressed file or folder looks like a bundle of books with a belt aroound it to indicate its compressed status. (Note: If you have a separate compression application installed, the icon may look different.)
4. You can add files or a folder to an existing compressed folder. Simply drag and drop the files or folder on top of it and the new material is automatically added.

Creating Compressed Files and Folders Using ...
Computer Operating System: Windows 7

1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you would like to compress.
2. Go to "Send to . . ." and click "Compressed (zipped) folder."
3. A compressed file is created using the name of the folder or file you are compressing with the file extension ".zip" added to the end. The icon for the compressed file or folder has a zipper on it to indicate its compressed status. (Note: If you have a separate compression application installed, like WinZip, the icon may look different.)
4. You can add files or a folder to an existing compressed folder. Simply drag and drop the files or folder on top of it and the new material is automatically added.

Alternate option:

1. In Windows Explorer, click to go to the folder in which you would like to create a compressed file. This can be any folder on any drive.
2. Right-click anywhere in the pane of Windows Explorer that lists the folders and files. Make sure you do not click on a sub-folder.
3. From the pop-up menu, go to "New" and then click "Compressed (zipped) Folder." A compressed folder named "Compressed (zipped) Folder.zip" appears. The icon has the "zipper" image, indicating it is a compressed file. This is an empty compressed file, waiting for you to add material to it.
4. Rename the file in some way that is meaningful to you.
5. The file now can be treated like any normal folder; you can drag other folders or files into it or out of it. The folders or files you drag into it will be compressed.

Creating Compressed Files and Folders Using ...
Computer Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5

1. In the Finder window, click your cursor arrow on the file or folder you would like to compress.
2. Click your cursor arrow on the "File" menu and select "Compress '[the name of your file or folder]'" from the resulting drop-down menu.
3. When the compression is complete, your new zipped file will appear with the existing file or folder name and will now show the extension ".zip" added to the end of its name. The icon for the file or folder will appear to have a zipper on it.
4. Alternately, you can right-click on the file or folder you would like to compress and select "Compress '[the name of your file or folder]'" from the resulting pop-up menu.

Alternate option:

1. Click your cursor arrow on the file or folder you would like to compress.
2. Right-click your cursor arrow on the selected file or folder and select "Compress '[the name of your file or folder]'" from the resulting drop-down menu.
3. When the compression is complete, your new zipped file will appear with the existing file or folder name and will now show the extension ".zip" added to the end of its name. The icon for the file or folder will appear to have a zipper on it.
