Barron’s Bytes By Val Barron Home AgainIt was exciting for me to
be back at Bentsen Grove and attending the Computer Club meeting this past
Monday (Jan. 19). I always miss the meetings when I have to be away. I look
forward to being with all of you for the next two weeks. TutorialsThis week I am trying
something new in the text version of the tutorial. I am including captions
from illustrations that appear in the PDF version but which cannot be
included in the text only version. The captions appear in a distinctive
format like this…..{ Illustration caption in
original---Right-click a drive icon in My Computer and choose Properties for
information on the file system.} In the text version this week I put the
captions close to where the illustrations appear in the PDF version. Next
week I think I’ll just put all of the captions together at the end of the
article.
Virtual Magnifying Glass
At the last meeting we
download, installed, and experimented with a small program called Virtual
Magnifying Glass. If you want to try it out you can download Version 2.00 at: http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/ If you find an actual use
for it please e-mail me or mention it at a club meeting. Beagle/Bagel Virus Alert
W32.Beagle.A@mm, a worm virus that
spreads by e-mail, is aggressively spreading and attacking Windows users. The
virus arrives in a message with a subject line that says "Hi" and
an attachment with a randomly generated name. Running the attachment will
cause the virus to send itself out to all e-mail addresses found on the system.
The virus also opens port 6777, which could allow an attacker to remotely
access the system. More information on prevention, detection and removal can
be found at:
www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.a@mm.html
PhobiasThe Houston Chronicle has
an interesting list of web sites relating to phobias at: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/tech/weekly/2361420
. Happy Computing |

Going along with Val’s Tutorial for this week is a small free program that may be downloaded from: http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html . Disk Investigator will reveal what is hidden on your hard drive. It directly displays the true drive content. Harold |
