Three Alternatives To Microsoft Word
Somebody called me crazy the other day for not having Microsoft Office, specifically, Microsoft Word, on my PC. Maybe I am. Or maybe not! On one hand, it seems as if almost every small business process today involves the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc). On the other hand, I have done just fine for the past three years without using Microsoft Word. Now, I am not some kind of anti-Microsoft freak. I just try to be as practical and open-minded as possible. Bottom line for me - I only need about 5% of the features that Microsoft Word offers to run my business. The other 95% just makes the program bloated, confusing, and slow.

So, you downloaded the new Internet Explorer 7? You have my condolences. One of the first things you will have to try to learn is how to fix glitches with Internet Explorer 7.

What Is Adware And What Can You Do To Prevent It From Affecting Your System?

The adware used will track the sites you visit and ads that are related to your interests will be shown to you during your session.
Safe Way To Disable User Account Control In Windows Vista
User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows Vista that can help prevent unauthorized changes to your computer.

When you see a UAC message, read it carefully, and then make sure the name of the action or program that's about to start is one that you intended to start.
