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.
