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!

    Just wanted to thank Kevin, Jevon, Lloyd and Andy for their thoughts concerning mail servers and what not. Lots of different options that are going to have to be explained to the powers that be. Of course that’s assuming I ever get a handle on all of the different options! Of course the more confusing…

    Per Dianna’s request, in the comments, here are my first impressions of IntraVnews: First off, I’m running it with Outlook 2003, on an older type laptop running Windows 2000, with only 128MB of RAM, so YMMV. But, I’ve found that with about 80 channels subscribed, it doesn’t run as slow as I was afraid it…
