Change Automatic
"Read" Status for Previewed Emails in Outlook 2013
By default, when you preview emails in Outlook, they quickly
change to "read" status. If you are using default settings in
Outlook 2013, this means the email line will go from bold to
not bold. But because simply previewing emails quickly can set
them to "unread", you might overlook it later.
Here's
a quick tip to change the number of seconds you can
preview an email before it's marked as "Read"!

Ransomware:
5 Do's And Don'ts
used with permission
from Norton by Symantec
By Kevin Haley, Director, Symantec
Security Response
I despise all forms of bullying. Perhaps the one I hate most
of all is where the bully takes a personal item, snatching it
from you, and refuses to give it back. It's dangled right in
front of you, but held just out of reach. You'll only get it
back after doing whatever the bully wants.
Ransomware is an on-line form of the bully's game of keep-away.
Here, the bully gets on your computer and takes your personal
files -words documents, photos, financial information, all the
things you care about. Those files are still on your computer,
dangling in from of you, but they are encrypted now, useless
to you. In order to get them unencrypted, you'll need to pay
the bully 300-500 dollars.
This is the fastest growing crime on the Internet. It grew
by 4500% in 2014, and shows no signs of stopping, its just too
profitable for the bullies. How do you stop the bullies? There
are five things that will make a tremendous difference.

How can virtualization
save your business?
used with permission
from HP Technology at Work
 Winter is a time when Mother Nature reminds us that even
the best laid plans can go wrong. Protect your small or midsized
business from the unexpected by implementing virtualization
technologies to optimize resources, improve application availability,
and reduce downtime.
Virtualization saves. Pooling server, storage, and network
resources takes advantage of spare capacity and saves money
on space, utility costs, and administrative effort. At the same
time, virtualization provides opportunities for failover and
load-balancing, resulting in greater application and data availability.
Unfortunately, small and midsized businesses (SMBs) often
forgo technology investments that dramatically reduce operational
costs and improve IT efficiency because they are perceived to
be too complex or expensive. But affordable servers, storage,
and networking products with virtualization features are now
available to your business.

The best way
to prepare for disasters and security breaches
used with permission
from HP Technology at Work
What would happen if your company lost your critical business
data? Whether your application is email, your website,
accounts receivable or any other critical application,
your IT infrastructure is vital to protecting your data�and
to your business overall. If critical data is corrupted or lost
due to disaster or security breaches, immediate business consequences
may result. Decreased profitability, a blemished reputation,
or loss of customers may cost you your business. Think of your
IT infrastructure as the first line of defense. Arm that defense
with technology that is designed to be resilient, highly available,
and secure.
Do you need to be more proactive when it comes to securing
and protecting your data? Start with understanding your exposure
that results from incomplete protection. Consider your infrastructure
and the following:

business is, 'why?' That's a good question, but
an equally valid question is, 'why not?'."
