The Computer Guru's Handy Hints


Yahoo!

If you have problems with someone in a Chat Room, go to the Yahoo! Chat Abuse Report form. We don't know what kind of response you will get, and would appreciate it if anyone reporting abuse would also email us here. Thanks.

Are you being booted from Yahoo! Chat a lot? Sometimes rebooting your computer helps.

ICQ

ICQ will never send you a message demanding that you forward it to everyone on your contact list under penalty of being removed from ICQ, or being billed. Please do not forward such a message. It is a hoax.

Is your ICQ stuck to the side of your screen and you can't resize it? This is a little known feature called docking. If you drag ICQ away from the edge of the screen, it will revert to its' original size and allow you to resize it as well.

Virus and Other Hoaxes

Have you ever received an email warning you that you should never read something with the subject of "Good Times" because if you read it, it will delete everything on your hard drive? How about the email promising a free trip to DisneyWorld if you forward it to enough people? These are hoaxes. If you receive a suspicious message like one of these, check out these web sites, which are maintained by security experts, and will tell you if the email you have is real or a hoax:
US Department of Energy, Data Fellows Ltd., Network Associates Inc., Symantec Corp..
