Email from Dell Customer Care

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

I received an email from what I will call one of my junk email accounts that appeared to have come from Dell Customer Care.  The email contained what appeared to be an order confirmation for a Sony Vaio?? I Did not know I could even by a Sony from Dell, but that doesn’t matter.

The email contained a zip file attachment that was supposed to contain a PDF of my order.  Since my computer is heavily protected, my curiousity was peaked, so I decided to open up the zip file.  Guess what, my EZTrust Anti-Virus program alerted me than the email contained a virus named: Win32/Hasdoor.BQ.  Can’t really tell you that I was shocked.

This just enfources the need to be real careful with opening up email attachments especially if something doesn’t seem right.  Most Internet Service Providers allow you to create multiple email accounts and we highly recommend that you create an extra one just to use when needed on sites that are looking for an email address.  This helps to prevent your main one from getting a ton of crap email messages.

TMX Elmo

Monday, November 6th, 2006

TMX Elmo is a must have for your child this year.  In typical Elmo fashion he will keep your children laughing for hours on end with his realistic movements never done before in a toy like this.

Elmo has three interactive spots to engage your child’s interest.  Those spots are Elmo’s Chin, Tummy and Toe.   All your child has to do it tickle elmo once and he will laugh and clap his leg.  Just tickle elmo again and he does it all again laughing harder at your child.  When you do it a third time, elmo laughes and rolls on his belly and giggles away.

You can find Elmo at some of these below online stores, or use this Elmo Finder tool:

As everyone knows, this is a hot item to find for Christmas this year and any help you can get is worth it.  I came across this great Elmo finder that you can run from your home computer and be alerted when it comes in stock at one of the online stores.  This is a must have for those who want to increase their chances at finding the TMX Elmo this year.  You can even read more about TMX Elmo on Squidoo.
