TCS - General Meeting

General Meeting

by Don Singleton
Tulsa Computer Society
From the December 2003 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter

At the General Meeting on November 25 we talked about security. I had heard that some of the members only rely on Zone Alarm and do not bother with Windows Update, which I think is a dangerous tactic. I told them they needed layers of protection - anti-virus software, windows updates (at least the security updates) and a firewall.

We then talked how to deal with spam. We talked briefly about anti-spam software, message rules and the newest Mozilla Thunderbird - the stand alone software that has an interesting install - you just unzip it and make a shortcut to it. We also talked about making groups to send bulk e-mail - not spam - to our clubs and friends.

We will not have a December meeting. Stuart Turley will be our guest in January 2004.
