SETTING UP OUTLOOK EMAIL ACCOUNT
Setting up an Outlook Express Email Account
Your Internet Service Provider has probably given you the option to set up more than one email address. Most come with at least five. So you're not limited to just the one. If somebody else in your household wants his/her own address, you should be able to do it. We'll learn how to configure a new address right now (We're using Outllook Express, the most popular Email software.)
To set up an email address, make sure you are looking at an Outlook Express screen and not a New email screen. Then do the following.
*
From the menu bar, click on Tools
*
From the drop down menu that appears, click on Accounts (one click, left mouse button)
Click Tools > Accounts
*
When you click on Accounts, you get the Internet Accounts dialogue box popping up. Click the Mail tab at the top to see the following:
Click the Mail tab
The Mail tab shows you all the email accounts that you have set up. In the image above, there are no email accounts set up yet. To set up an email account, do the following:
*
Click on the Add button in the top right hand corner
*
A popup menu appears
*
Click Mail with your left mouse button
Click Add > Mail
When you click on Mail, you get an Account Wizard popping up, which will ask you a series of question. We'll run through the various pages of the Wizard in the next part.

ALL ABOUT SPAM
All about Spam
What is Spam?
It's a rare computer user who hasn't been bothered by Spam at some stage. By Spam, we mean unsolicited emails that try to sell you things of a dubious nature that you certainly didn't ask for and, in all probability, don't need. Everybody hates spam. It can clog up your email box, threaten the security of your PC, try to trick you into opening dangerous attachments, and even render the mail box entirely unusable. Here at Home and Learn, we've had to close down many email addresses due to spam. (We've only ever met one person who liked spam. This was a pensioner, new to email, who complained that something was blocking her advertisments. She wanted to know how she could get them back!)
How do the spammers get hold of my email address?
Spam can come from a wide variety of sources, and the spammers have many techniques to get hold of your email address. Here's just a few:
> From a web page
If you have ever posted to an online, public forum, and left your email address on the page, then it will almost certainly end up in the hands of the spammers. If you have your own website, and include your email address in plain text, then that will also get stolen by the spammers. In fact, anywhere on the web where you leave your email address is a source for the spammers. If you can see it, so can they.
The way they get the address is by something called harvesting. This is done with a piece of software called a Spider. The sole job of the Spider is to trawl through website looking for email addresses. Once the spammer has enough addresses, he (they are usally "he's") can sell them to third parties, and other spammers.
> From an infected PC.
A lot of viruses these days contain code to trawl through your email address book. These will then be sent to the spammer. If you have sent an email to somebody who is infected, and that person has you in his/her address book, then your address will be sent to the spammer.
> From YOUR infected PC
If you have a virus, the chances are that it will contain code to control your email. It will then contact another computer and receive a list of instructions, and email addresses. These instruction say something like, "Send the following email to this list of addresses". Your PC won't be sending out thousands of emails, but just a few. This is because your PC is just one of many thousand that are controlled by the same spammer (called a botnet). If your computer sends out just, say, 100 emails a day, then 100 times 1000 computers that the spammer controls totals 100,000 emails a day. If the spammer controls 10,000 computers then that's a million emails a day he can send out!
> Trial and Error
if you have an email address based on your name, and if your name is quite a common one, then the spammer will simply send out email trying to guess the first part. For example, suppose the end of your email address was "smith.co.uk" And you added "John" to the start, your email address would be easy to guess, and you'd have a very busy inbox indeed! If it was "john12_KJ876@smith.co.uk", it's unlikely the spammers could guess the first part.
Worst case scenarios
If your computer is infected, there could be another nasty side-effect - YOU get banned! Because your computer has been indentifed as sending out spam, you may well receive a message from your service provider telling you that your account has been suspended. You then have to go to the trouble of contacting your service provider, telling them that you're not a spammer, and asking what to do to get off their "bad books".
A more likely scenario is that your email gets bounced back to you by someone like SpamCop. The email will identify your IP address, and let you know that you're on a blacklist. SpamCop will keep you on the blacklist until it receives no more spam from your IP address in a 24 hour period. (It may not be your IP address but the address of your email servers. In which case, there's nothing you can do about it but notify your service provider. Your service provider will then totally ignore your call, and heap the blame on you!)
How to Defeat Spam
You can defeat spam (well, most of it). Here's a few ways.
* Don't post your email address on a web page, unless you're disguising it in some way. As an example, an email address in this format is very difficult for a Spider to read, but quite easy for a human:
firstBit @ co. uk. homeandlearn (re-arange the ending)
* Be wary of giving your email address to websites. Ask yourself, is there a privacy statement anywhere on the site? (Ours is here Privacy Policy) Can you easily opt-out if they send an email or newsletter to you? Do you trust them?
* Never reply to a email sent to you by a spammer. If you do, you're telling the spammer that the email address is live and active - the very thing that he was looking for! (Remember: the spammer probably bought his list off someone else, and has no idea whether an address is active or not.)
* Careful when opening attachments. Save the attachment to your hard-drive first, scan with your (up-to-date) Anti Virus software, and only then consider opening it. If you weren't expecting an email with an attachment, it's safer to just delete the entire email!
* Set your email software to view message as text and NOT as HTML. In Outlook Express you can do this by clicking Tools > Options from them menu bar. From the Options dialogue box, click the Read tab. Put a tick in the box "Read all messages in plain text". The reason you'd want to do this is because HTML emails can be very helpful to spammers. They insert an image that tells them the email has been read, and thus that it's a live email box.
* Consider getting some Anti-Spam software. The best of these are very good at detecing spam from the genuine emails. Here's two that Computer Shopper recommended in a recent review. (Dec 2006)
o Allume SpamCatcher 4
o Cloudmark
These both got 5 stars out of 5 in the review. The second one is only for Outlook or Outlook Express users. (Mcafee anti-spam got 4 stars out of 5, incidentally, and Norton only got 2!)
A good free anti-spam solution is SpamPal. This got 4 out of 5 stars, but Computer Shopper noted that it was a bit "clunky to set up".
But we recommend you start with the free software first, and test it out. If it's not catching at least 90% of spam coming in, then uninstall it and try something else!

All about SPYWARE
All about SpyWare
What is Spyware?
Broadly speaking, Spyware is something that sneaks on to your computer, usually with the intentions of extracting money from you. At its worst, Spyware can take control of your computer, directing you to web pages you didn't want to go to, downloading other nasty stuff in the background, and even harvesting email address, passwords and your credit card details. But even a mild case of Spyware infection can be nuisance.
If you've ever been plagued by annoying pop-ups when your computer loads, or have strange new icons where your clock is (bottom right, called the System Tray), or if you're directed to a strange webpage when you try to go on to the internet, then you may well be infected.
Spyware, in the main, gathers information about you and your online habits, and sends that information to third party. And all without asking for your permission!
Where does Spyware come from?
Spyware can come from a whole host of different sources. But Spyware mainly gets on to your PC through deception. For example, suppose you receive this email:
Email with potential Spyware
You'd assume that this email was sent to you in error. Can you resist clicking on the link? After all, what harm can it do? Well, a lot actually! There well may be a joke on the site, but there's something less funny going on in the background - the web page is trying to sneak something on to your PC! You may also have seen a harmless-looking popup window asking you to click a button to proceed. You'll click it anyway, just to get rid of it. Clicking OK is what's infected your PC!
Other sources of Spyware infection are freeware or shareware software, an operating system that is un-patched and hasn't got the latest security software, downloading stuff from peer-to peer applications - the list is long!
And don't think your Anti-Virus software will protect you - it won't! Spyware is not considered to be a virus, so your Anti-Virus software won't spring in to action once an infection takes place - it will stay sleeping in the background, unaware that anything malicious is going on. The best tool for the job is a dedicated Spyware Detection system.
Beware of the Scam Merchants!
You may have come across a website that promises to check your PC for Spyware infection. All for free. All you need to do is to click a button to scan your PC. So you download, scan, and lo and behold - it's found something! Then up pops a message directing you to a website that lets you buy the software.
Except, it didn't really detect anything. Or if it did, it's what's know as a false positive (Something that sounds dangerous but isn't). The job of the scan is to scare you into buying their software.
If you type in "Spyware detection" into Google, most of the results that come back are for these types of programmes. According to Suzi Turner, writing on Zdnet , some of the most popular Spyware scams are these products:
1. SpyAxe
2. SpySheriff
3. PSGuard
4. WorldAntiSpy
5. Spy Trooper
6. Razespyware
7. SpywareNo or SpyDemolisher
8. WinAntiVirus or WinAntiSpyware 2005
9. SlimShield tied with "Winhound Spyware Remover"
10. Spyware Bomber (shut down by the FTC)
Hopefully, you haven't bought anything on the top ten list! Even if you haven't, check out the alarmingly long list of scam Spyware on spywarewarrior.com (Fortunately, they also have a good-software list!)
If you've bought any of the software on the bad list then the protection you have is at no protection at all. At worst, these pieces of software can be incredibly difficult to get rid of - Spyware themselves!
How to get Rid of Spyware
As a computer owner, you really need your wits about you in the Spyware detection game. So what are you to do if you can't even trust the very people who say they are going to help you clean your PC? Well, you can fight back! The best way to do that is with software from very reputable companies. The following are the most well-known (and free) anti-spyware solutions:
* Ad-Aware (SE Personal Edition)
* SpyBot Search and Destroy
* Microsoft Windows Defender
Ad-Aware is probably the easiest to use of the three. SpyBot is good, but a bit complex for beginners. Microsoft Windows Defender is well worth getting, too. However, it's not the easiest piece of software in the world to use. You do get some good tools with it, though. Check out the websites by clicking the links above (there's a tutorial on the Microsoft site for Windows Defender).
Once you download your chosen anti-spyware solution, you need to install it on to your PC. After you have installed it, start the software and do a full scan of your computer. (Ad-Aware has a nice big button that says "Scan"!)
Unlike anti-virus software, it IS recommended that you have more than one anti-spyware solution on your PC. This is because spyware can be very difficult to get rid of, and anti-spyware software will rarely find 100 percent of threats. By having more than one solution, what one piece of anti-spyware programme misses, the other should (hopefully) pick it up.

Learn about Firewall
What is a firewall (and why you need one)?
A firewall is protective barrier between you and the rest of the computers you are connected to. When you go on to the internet you are visible to the outside world. (If you weren't, then there would be no way to get a web page to your browser!) You are visible through something called a port. A port is service available to you. There are many thousands of these ports (services), and each is given a number. The three ports (services) you use most often are the world wide web (port 80), Incoming email (typically port 110), and outgoing email (usually port 25). The idea of a firewall is to close off the ports (services) you're not using. If you don't, then your open ports are an invitation to others to raid your computer! If you only have one piece of security software on your computer then it has to be a firewall. Unless your computer is not connected to the outside world, this is a must-have.
What kind of things can happen if I don't have a firewall?
If you do a fresh install of Windows XP, and leave it unpatched, your computer will be attacked within minutes. You'll be attacked through your open ports, and bombarded with popup messages; Trojans, viruses and worms will be loaded behind your back; Spyware and Malware will clog up your browser. In fact, PC Format magazine recently (issue 194) ran this very experiment. Their unprotected PC was unusable after about 2 and half hours! Having a firewall in place would have prevented some of these attacks. (But not all - XP should have Service Packs 1 and 2 installed before it's allowed on the internet.)
Even if you have all of XP's service packs and updates, not having a firewall means somebody will eventually find an open port on your computer. If they can install a Trojan on to your PC, they'll be able to control it! (See our Trojan section for more details on this topic.)
How Firewalls help protect you
Most firewalls, like the one built into Windows XP, will alert you about suspicious incoming traffic. Anyone trying to gain access to your PC will hit the firewall first. The firewall deflects the attack, and gives you a warning about it. But a good firewall like ZoneAlarm will also warn you about suspicious outgoing traffic (XP's own firewall doesn't do this). So the best firewalls do both - tell you about incoming and outgoing traffic.
The Types of Firewall
For the general user, you can place firewalls into two simple categories: hardware and software. A hardware firewall can be a router that sits between your computer and the outside world. You can plug more computers into the router, and each will be protected by the firewall that's part of the router.
A software firewall is one like ZoneAlarm. You install it on your PC, and it will hide open ports, deflect incoming attacks, and warn you about suspicious outgoing traffic. For added protection, you can have a software firewall on each computer that sits behind the router. An attacker would have to be very determined to get through your router's firewall and your software firewall!
Which firewall should I get?
If you have something like a wireless router then you'll probably already have a firewall. You should check your router's configuration pages to make sure it's turned on. (Some of them are actually turned OFF by default!) Once your router's firewall is turned on, you can install a software firewall on each PC that's connected to the router, just for added protection.
If you're not behind a router, then you need a software firewall. If you have Internet Security software like Kaspersky then it will probably include a firewall as well. You should check, though. If you haven't got any Internet Security software then we highly recommend the free version of ZoneAlarm. This piece of software has been available from ZoneLabs for some time, and has a very good reputation.

(Some of them are actually turned OFF by default!) Once your router's firewall is turned on, you can install a software firewall on each PC that's connected to the router, just for added protection.
If you're not behind a router, then you need a software firewall. If you have Internet Security software like Kaspersky then it will probably include a firewall as well. You should check, though. If you haven't got any Internet Security software then we highly recommend the free version of ZoneAlarm. This piece of software has been available from ZoneLabs for some time, and has a very good reputation.

ClickBank Account in Nigeria
Clickbank is an online marketplace where you earn commissions for making sales on products you promote in the marketplace. As at the time of publishing this post, ClickBank accepts Nigerians but do not accept account openings in Nigeria, Therefore the need to find an "indirect way" of setting up a Clickbank account right here in Nigeria Arise.
Although you can join Clickbank marketplace using the "indirect" way, it however comes with a lot of risk, I have been using ClickBank for a while now here in Nigeria. I use ClickBank in order to Earn Affiliate or Reseller commissions.
HOW DO I OPEN A CLICKBANK ACCOUNT
There are two ways used in Opening a ClickBank Account, namely:
* How to Open a Clickbank Account using an Address Abroad.
* How to Open a ClickBank Account using Graphcard.
HOW TO OPEN CLICKBANK ACCOUNT USING AN ADDRESS ABROAD
The first thing you need to do in opening and running a ClickBank account is to get a foreign address ( a US address or an address which Clickbank reaches) . That can be an address of someone related to you outside Nigeria. All you need to do is to inform the person about this. Once he/she agrees, you should use his/her foreign address when opening a ClickBank account. This is all you need to open and run a ClickBank account right here in Nigeria without using Graphcard. You account will be accepted then you can safely promote the products and earn while you do so.
You don’t necessarily need to withdraw the money you make. You can use it to pay for goods and services online. The goods will be delivered to the address you signed up with. From there, you get the goods you ordered for.
HOW TO OPEN CLICKBANK ACCOUNT IN NIGERIA USING GRAPHCARD
If you dont have anyone Abroad, Then this Option is for you, You will need to make use of a Service called GRAPHCARD [www.graphcard.com]. GraphCard will offer you a virtual address, US telephone number and ability to use VISA card. By ‘virtual address’, I mean a specific and personalized US address. This you won’t get for free anyway. It will cost you less than $5 monthly to keep using their services.
Registering at Graphcard as a Nigerian, is FREE but you will have to pay for the virtual address if you want to use it for your Clickbank registration. The Virtual address is what you need to open your ClickBank account .
To get the virtual address, you will need to fund your Graph Card account using Virtual Terminal Network (VTN). You can fund your VTN account by paying into VTN Nigerian bank accounts after which you can transfer your VTN funds to Graphcard, so as to pay for your virtual address.
Once your Graph Card account is funded in less than 10 seconds you will have your own virtual address created instantly just for you. After which you should go to ClickBank to register and sign up with the virtual address.
When opening a ClickBank account you will be asked for the payee name. In the payee name box, just put : LFR COMMUNICATIONS INC as it is stated in the virtual address given to you. Use the virtual address that Graph Card gave to you as the place you want your check to be sent to. You can put your own real name in the "First Name" and "Last Name" boxes.
