Beware - Malicious Storm Worm Doesn't Take A Holiday The team behind the
notorious Storm worm often takes advantage of holidays to launch attacks.
There were Christmas and New Year's versions, and most recently, the worm
used a Valentine's Day twist to try and infect users with malicious code. The
e-mails contained subject lines about love, and the body of the message
directed recipients to a site featuring a large heart and a notification
reading, "Your download should begin shortly. If your download does not
start in 10-20 seconds, you can click here to launch the download and then press
run. Enjoy!" DSL Platform Upgrades Continue - Look For Upgrade Notices In
The Mail DSL customers
located in the Steelhead Court, Knowles Road and Laurel Street areas are next
in line to receive new DSL modems. These customers will be receiving upgrade
notices in the mail sometime during the next month. The new modems are part
of an ongoing platform change that will allow for higher DSL service speeds. Ask The Help Desk - Where Did The Menu Bar Go On Internet
Explorer 7? Question: I recently purchased a new computer and it
has the Microsoft Vista Home Premium operating system and includes Internet
Explorer 7 as the browser. I noticed that Internet Explorer 7 does not have a
menu bar at the top any longer. I used to frequently use the "Edit"
button located on the menu bar to cut, copy, paste, etc. Is there a way to
get this menu bar back onto the Internet Explorer 7 browser? 1. With Internet Explorer open, click your
cursor arrow on the "Tools" button located on your Internet
Explorer 7 toolbar. 2. Scroll down to "Menu Bar" on the
resulting drop-down menu and select it. The menu bar will immediately appear
on your Internet Explorer 7 browser. This works the same whether you are
using Windows XP Home Edition or Windows Vista Home Premium as your operating
system. Sites Of The Month - Great Sites To Check Out In February Presidential Visit Short Tutorial - Add Useful Buttons To Internet Explorer
Command Bar (Toolbar) Unlike the Internet
Explorer 6 browser, Internet Explorer 7 includes few buttons by default on
its command bar (toolbar). To add additional buttons to Internet Explorer 7
browser when using either Windows XP Home Edition or Windows Vista Home
Premium operating systems, follow these steps: 1. Launch Internet Explorer. 2. Click your cursor arrow on the
"Tools" button located on your Internet Explorer toolbar. 3. Scroll down to "Toolbars" and then
select "Customize" from the resulting submenu. 4. A Customize Toolbar dialog box will appear.
It will have two listings of buttons. On the left side is the list called
"Available toolbar buttons." On the right side is the list called
"Current toolbar buttons." Select the buttons from the
"Available toolbar buttons" list that you'd like to add to the
Internet Explorer 7 command bar. 5. Click on the "Add" button and then
click on "Close." Your selected buttons will now be added to your
browser's command bar (toolbar). Note, however, that you may not be able to
actually see the added buttons. You'll need to click your cursor arrow on the
two right-pointing arrows located on the far right side of the command bar
(toolbar) to see the added buttons listed within a drop-down menu.
