Super Spammers
They are like cockroaches these people. They have become much more sophisticated in their tactics. As spam filters get smarter they have to find new tricks to get around them. One of the ways they can get by the filters is with a string of words that make no sense. This overwhelms the spam filters making it harder for them to determine if a message is spam.
“Nonsense messages”Also called “Selfless Spam” or “Word Salad”. This is an email that is usually babble, which leads to nothing. The purpose is to confuse spam filters, which makes them less effective and a way to slip in like a cockroach. It doesn’t benefit them directly, but all spammers, by messing with the filtering of spam itself.
“Web Bugs or Beacons”Then we have those that aren’t selfless at all. HTML formatted spam may contain "web beacons" or "web bugs" embedded in them. These tiny transparent images are about (1 pixel). They can also be the same color as the background. These tiny images are linked to content on the spammer's server, so when you view the email, your computer sends a request back to that server letting the spammer know that he has a "live" email address along with your IP address, & the exact time you viewed the content.
Two ways to protect yourself:
Configure your email client not to download images whose URLs are embedded in HTML messages or using a text-based mail client. Newer email programs are set to block these images by default. That's why you find that you get messages with the images missing.
Turn off the preview pane in each folder view that you set up. You can do this by going to View in Outlook, then reading pane, click off.
As usual, only open emails from people you know of and if it looks funny then delete it.
There are many spam programs you can use, most internet security antivirus packages come with a spam filter built in but you may have to configure it. Also, there are a some, 3rd party anti-spam programs out there as well.

QuickBook Update Errors & Digital Signatures
First you need to scout out any expired Intuit certificates. Go to
Internet Properties, click on the Content tab, then Certificates and then follow
the visual aids that I have supplied you for the rest.
Then search for the Intuit certificate and delete it.
After this try your install again. When you see this screen below you will
want to click on the link Publisher: Intuit, Inc.
Follow the visuals that I have supplied for you below.
Hit OK and continue with your update. If this does not work for you
then research any error codes that it is giving you on the Intuit site or call
for support.
Sometimes just resetting the update in QuickBooks update section itself and
re-downloading the whole thing will fix you issue as well.
Remember, as always we are not responsible for any damages you may cause or
incur by anything you do from the help files in this site.

Early DST May Bring Your PC Some Grief
Daylight Saving Time is 3 weeks early this year and will end 1 week later when we fall back.
This is okay for us to adjust to but not all PC's will feel the same. Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, you may have find that time synchronized programs may disruptive and calendars will be off for up to 4 weeks, untill it catches up at the usual time. So to avoid any issues before hand it is a good idea to make sure both your Windows operating system and calendar programs have been patched.
See Microsoft for more details and run the daylight savings time guide.
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst
Home users: If you use Windows Vista or have Automatic Updates turned on, you may not be affected by the change in daylight saving time. But is better to be safe than sorry.

CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error code.
CD-Rom stops working. After checking device manager you find an exclamation mark on the drive. It doesn't mean the drive is dead. It could be an upperfilter or lowerfilter registry issue that is keeping you from accessing the cd drive.
This fix worked for my client:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/XP_CD-DVD-Fix.zip
Also, try this fix from microsoft.
CD-ROM access is missing and messages cite error code 31, code 32, code 19, code 39, or code 41.
Try this before replacing the drive and remember that you may have to reinstall some burning software.
Backup registry before attempting any changes.

Microsoft Office 2007 schedules for release, Jan. 30th
Microsoft did a bang up job, totally overhauling and improving their Office programs. It has been well worth the wait. Not only is it better, but it has tons of new features and a brighter sharper image.
Check out pricing:
