Warning! - Scam E-Mails Seek H1N1 Profile
 Keep
an eye on your inbox. If you receive an e-mail that appears to be from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) asking you to create a personal
H1N1 vaccination profile, it's a scam. Ignore the e-mail and do not respond,
or you may put your computer at risk for a virus.
These fraudulent e-mails talk about a CDC-sponsored state vaccination
program, and tell recipients that they need to create a personal H1N1
vaccination profile on the CDC's website whether they're vaccinated or not. A
link is provided for this "registration process" that leads to a
fake webpage that looks similar to the CDC's. Once there, recipients are
asked to download instructions on creating their profile. If they click on
the link to download, they're in danger of getting a computer virus and
giving scammers access to their personal information.
To avoid becoming a victim of such phishing attacks:
- Do not follow unsolicited links and do not open
or respond to unsolicited e-mails.
- Be suspicious of any unsolicited e-mail that
asks for personal information.
If you need accurate and current information on the H1N1 virus,
visit www.cdc.gov or www.flu.gov.

Ask The Help Desk - What Should I Do If I Lose My Internet
Connection?
Question: Every once in awhile, I lose my Internet
connection at home. Do you have any troubleshooting tips for me? What can I
do to get back online?
 Answer: In
the event of a temporary service outage or if you lose connectivity, you may
need to reboot your modem. If your network features a router, it will need to
be rebooted as well. Since the sequence in rebooting is important, we'll
review the procedure one step at a time:
- Check to make sure your modem has power.
- If your modem has power, go ahead and disconnect
the power to the modem and leave the power off for about 20 seconds.
- Reconnect the power and allow the modem time to
receive a new Internet connection. When the "link" light
becomes active, your modem is connected (rebooted) to the network.
- If you are using a router, disconnect the power
to the router and leave the power off for about 20 seconds. Restart the
router and your Internet connection should be restored. (Note: Some
modems and routers have reset buttons that perform the off/on function
as described above.)
- If you are still not getting a connection, you
may also want to try restarting your computer. Sometimes a quick
computer reboot does the trick.

Short Tutorial - Sending E-mail Messages To Groups Of People
Do you frequently send the same e-mail message to groups of
people such as close friends or members of a club? If the answer is yes, how
do you do it? If you individually select the e-mail addresses of recipients
and place them in the "To" field, we encourage you to consider a
better way. Take a few minutes to create separate groups with these e-mail
addresses and send future messages to the name of the group instead. Your
recipients will appreciate the change, since their individual e-mail
addresses will no longer appear in the "To" field (which can
potentially expose them to scammers). Here's how to do it:
Sending Group E-mail Messages Using ...
E-Mail Program: Outlook Express 6
Computer Operating System: Windows XP
- With Outlook Express open, click
your cursor arrow on the "Addresses" icon on the toolbar. The
Address Book - Main Identity window will appear.

on the toolbar and select "New Group..." from the resulting
drop-down menu. The Properties window will appear.
- Type in a name for your new group in
the "Group Name:" field. "Work," "Family,"
or "Friends" are good examples. (Note that the name you use
for the group is the name that will appear in the "To" field
of future e-mail messages.)
- Next, click on the "Select
Members" button on the right side of the window. The Select Group
Members window will appear showing a list of your contacts in the
left-hand pane of the window.
- Highlight a name, multiple names, or
all of the names from the listed contacts and click the
"Select" button located between the two panes. This will move
the highlighted contact or contacts into the "Members:" pane.
Click on the "OK" button when you have added the contacts and
click "OK" again to close the new group's Properties window.
- You will see the new group name folder listed
under the "Main Identity's Contacts" folder located in the
Address Book - Main Identity window and with your other saved contacts.
Click on the red "X" to close the window. You are now ready to

the names of the contacts from your Address Book that you would like to
add to this new group. Click on the "OK" button when all
