Newsletters you should be getting

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Catching up with some tech newsletters, and finding some great stuff.

From the latest issue of Tech Support Alert, a long discussion of spyware, how some programs claim to be anti-spyware but actually are spyware, how to keep yourself save and links to great tools like SpywareBlaster, The Spyware Blog and a free online test to see if your IE is vulnerable to drive-by installs.

Speaking of Spyware, the best newsletter on that subject is Spyware Weekly which has in the latest issue stories about fake Spybot downloads, and naughty stuff being installed by both AOL and SBC/Yahoo with their connection software. Good stuff all the way around!

    Well it defintely seems that our ISP has done some new things with their Spam filtering, but I have no idea what. I just got some things figured out in the last few weeks, like the fact that we couldn’t email anyone coming from an Asian host and they couldn’t email us, but now there’s…
