Scam - New IRS E-Mail Scams Use Rebate as Lure It's tax
season again and the Internal Revenue Service is warning taxpayers to
beware of current e-mail scams using the IRS name. In particular, watch
for messages about the upcoming rebate checks tied to the economic
stimulus package — spammers are using these rebates as bait. The goal of
the scams is to trick you into revealing personal and financial
information such as Social Security or bank account numbers, which the
scammers can use to commit identity theft. Save

Tutorial - Erasing Your Private Information From A Public
Computer When sharing
a computer at a public location (i.e. a hotel lobby or a library), it's a
good idea to remove the history, cache, and temporary files from the
computer before closing your surfing session. Leaving the information on
the computer opens the door later for others to access your private
information. Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer, Macintosh's Safari, and
Mozilla's Firefox browsers each provide a solution for erasing your
sensitive information upon the completion of your Internet session.
1. With Internet Explorer 6 open, click your cursor arrow on the "Tools" menu. Drop down to and select "Internet Options." 2. When the "Internet Options" window opens, click on the "General" tab. 3. In the section labeled "Internet Files," click on the "Delete Cookies" button. This will delete cookies set by the sites you visited. 4. When the "Delete Cookies" dialog box appears, click "OK." 5. To delete your temporary Internet files, click on the "Delete Files..." button. When the "Delete Files" dialog box appears, you can click "OK" to delete your temporary files. Also, if you saved any pages to your hard drive for offline viewing, you can delete them by checking the box next to "Delete all offline content" and then click "OK." 6. In the "History" section, click on the "Clear History" button. This will delete the record of the sites you visited. 7. A small "Internet Options" dialog box will open and ask, "Are sure you want Windows to delete your history of visited Web sites?" Click the "Yes" button. 8. Click "OK" to close the "Internet Options" window, and then close your browser. Erasing Your Private Information From A Public Computer When Using Internet Explorer 7 On Windows XP Home Edition or Windows Vista Home Premium 1.
