Tech Tip of the Day: Accepting requests on Facebook, check their friends first!!! 3000 friends hmmm I dunno !!!!? Probably not

Hello everyone, Lately I have been hearing and witnessing accounts being hacked and taken over. Your best fight against this is a reputable anti-virus that has a firewall and will scan your Facebook page. Updating and changing security settings- Make passwords at least 6 to 8 letters and use capitals where you remember, add numbers or special characters. This makes the complexity very difficult to hack!!! Also don't record the info on your PC, write it on a sticky note and place where safe.

Getting duplicate emails in Microsoft Outlook? Microsoft is aware of the issue and can assist you in its correction by calling your 1-800-MICROSOFT
