Tech Tips - Spam Mails

Spam Mails Most of us get spam mails every day. If you have an e-mail account it is always there causing headaches to many one of us. If you have an e-mail address, it's just about impossible for you to eliminate spam completely. However, there are steps you can take to reduce the risks from unsolicited commercial e-mail. Here are some methods for hitting the spam. v   Do not spread your email address in the cyber world. Treat your email address like your phone number- something you give out selectively. v   Pick an address that is hard for spammers to guess and easy for you to remember. Also, if chatting online, use a unique screen name that is not associated with your e-mail address. v   Spammers usually get your email address via chat rooms, mailing lists, websites, customer lists, newsgroups, and viruses which harvest users' address books, and are sold to other spammers. Make sure that you do not join mailing lists, groups and newsletters unnecessarily. v   Do n...

Tech Tips - Email Security

Security tips for email users Email has become an inevitable part of many of us. For day to day communications, people are now resorting to email more than the traditional snail mail. This is because of the advantages and flexibility offered by Email. At the same time, many are not aware of the lack of security of an Email.

Tech Tips - Phishing Attack

Phishing is a technique employed by criminals to get hold of your personal information. A phishing email will have the look and feel of an authentic email. It can take many forms. It can be a job offer or it can be about your winning a lottery or about security breaches in your bank account etc. The e-mail usually encourages you to click a link in order to update your personal information. When you click the link, you may be asked to enter your personal information, such as your name, address, date of birth, ATM / Debit card number, password etc. If you provide these details, the fraudsters can steal your identity as well as your funds. Therefore, if you receive such e-mails, that appear to be from Federal Bank and if they ask you to provide your personal information, please ignore the e-mail and never try to open that link.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarship in school?" and the youth answered "no".

Emotions are a part of Life

  Emotions are a part of Life   Life is like an unsolved puzzle. No one can define what life is because it is a very complex thing. Life is something that makes you happy and proud at times and makes you feel so low at times that you say to yourself, "Why was I born?" But whatever it is, it is real fun. In Life, in every moment, something new happens; something that you never expected, something that you were waiting from a long while to happen and something you were expecting to happen. It is a combination of happiness, sorrow, joy, love, anger, enjoyment, loneliness, fear, excitement and many other emotions. The definition of the word life can't be completed without using the word emotions. Some people work in emotions whereas others work with emotions. So it's very important to understand how people are using their emotions. If they are letting emotions get control over them, then they'll be dragged by others and situations all the time. But, if he is controll...
