3 - Virus Watch -  
    "With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies?"
------------------------------------------------------------
It used to be that the practice of deleting emails from 
recipients unknown to you was a fairly solid defense 
against email-borne viruses. But that was back when life 
was simpler�like, oh say, 1999! Today, it�s actually MORE 
likely that you will receive a virus from someone you know 
thanks to the mass-mailing Internet worm which uses your 
email address book to propagate. 

So what the heck do you do if you can�t trust email from 
your friends, family or business partners? Click here to 
learn the basics of email security�

4 - Firewall Forum - "Who are Hackers?"
------------------------------------------------------------
The term "hacker" was originally a name among computer 
programmers for someone who could "hack together" code and, 
later, for someone who could manipulate code almost 
magically. When some programmers began to do immoral things 
with their computers, the public would hear of a "hacker" 
committing a crime or acting irresponsibly. Naturally, the 
term hacker took on an ominous meaning, becoming synonymous 
with "evil computer genius." 

Are all hackers "bad"? Read on to learn more about white hat 
and black hat hackers...
