LAWS YOU NEED TO KNOW


CABLE TV-  If your cable company offers individual premium channels  (HBO, Showtime or Cinemax)  as an ad-on pricey service packages,  a little known government rule requires them to offer each one as an add-on to basic service. This can save you big bucks. If you have basic and add just HBO you might pay only 35 where you might now be paying $60 for  146 channels plus HBO.

SPYWARE BLOCKERS (FREE)

For Maximum Protection Against Harmful Viruses, Trojans, Spyware, etc. you should install an antivirus protection and firewall.

 Free Virus Scan While it won't protect your system against new viruses, it will check to see if you have anything on there now  


Some of the best:

antivirus protection packages is AVG, which is FREE at: http://www.grisoft.com/ (You will need to register for a key.) 

software for firewall is Outpost Firewall, which can be obtained at http://www.snapfiles.com Just do a search for it. (It even filters those pesky ads and when a web site has one it replaces it with "[Ad]" to let you know. They do have a pro version as well but this one is FREE.)

Also recommended - a Trojan scanner, Tauscan, from the same makers of Outpost Firewall.

To rid machine of spyware/malware Spybot S&D  and Ad-Aware, two reputable utilities, which are FREE. Those programs are to stop SPYWARE, not viruses. 


SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY gives an explanation of a lot of the "iffy" programs. (Example: it will explain that "company xyz claims that they don't have spyware, but obviously they put a cookie on you when you visited their site because we found it".)

When Ad-Aware finds stuff,  don't bother with quarantine; just delete them buggers right away!

Ad-aware may update a couple of times a day so  ALWAYS.. before you scan.. do the updates first.. Very important.

To see what Spyware that AD-AWARE 6& SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY may have missed on your computer go to http://www.webroot.com and do a FREE scan. ( Look for "Free Privacy Test" on the upper right side of the web site.)

SpywareBlaster, which disables spyware automatically  can be obtained from snapfiles.com as well. Or go to Tucows or Wilders.org and find them. and they're TOTALLY FREE.


Some also have Spyware Blaster, and Spyguardboth  installed on their computer.. Doesn't take up any "room" and it's amazing what it actually blocks.

PLUMBERS-

The busiest days for plumbers is the day after a holiday.
Plumbers go on more calls then because people have always thought garbage disposals are for exactly what they are not......They are called disposals but in reality they were never designed to do more than let you rinse the little bit that remains AFTER you have scraped it into the trash! 

RADON


 
GM, FORD, HONDA, AND TOYOTA now have data recorders in their new cars to record your speed and pedal position in the event of a crash. CHRYSLER doesn't use them.      

ARBITRATION CLAUSES. 

CELL PHONE COMPANIES, CAR DEALERS, Rental car companies and many others are putting it in the fine print of their contracts to make it impossible for you to sue them. You can't take it to a jury. most of these involve fine print on contracts, whether with a magazine, phone company or bank.  

Read all contracts and ask questions about that which is not clear to you. It may save you thousands of dollars later.
