How to Keep Spyware From Hijacking Your Business

An article from Homebusiness.com

A recent survey by Consumer Reports® reveals that 1/3 of all the Internet users have been hijacked by spyware. As a home business owner, you should know what spyware is, and you should tell your customers. Spyware is computer software that sneaks onto your hard drive while you surf the Web. Once you log off, the spyware remains on your computer (for good until you get rid of it), stealing valuable information from your computer while you work.

Symptoms of spyware on your computer can be as innocuous as sluggish performance or can be as lethal as having credit card information stolen. No matter what way you cut it, spyware is harmful to your home or small business.

How to Prevent Spyware:

• Never open spam or read e-mails from unknown senders or solicitors
• Avoid clicking on banner ads
• If you download free software, read the license agreement carefully, If the download package contains “data collecting” software, do not agree and do not download.
• Finally, the most effective way to prevent spyware is to use anti-spyware software. The leaders in the business are listed below. Visit their Web sites for more information and to purchase their spyware protection software.

• Norton AntiVirus® (Symantec)
• McAfee®
• Microsoft®

Must Have - TreeSize Free

Dude, where's my disk space? For those with limited memory, the free, simple file minder shows you how disk space is allocated on your computer. Even better, it'll expose space-wasting folders in a Windows Explorer-like interface, where they're easy to delete.





Every hard disk is too small if you just wait long enough. TreeSize Free tells you where precious space has gone to. TreeSize Free can be started from the context menu of a folder or drive and shows you the size of this folder, including its subfolders. You can expand this folder in Explorer-like style and you will see the size of every subfolder. Scanning is done in a thread, so you can already see results while TreeSize Free is working. The space, which is wasted by the file system, can be displayed and the results can be printed in a report. TreeSize Free is freeware for Windows 9x/2000/XP/Vista.

Chinese Lunar New Year

Its only a few days to go before the start of Chinese New Year celebration which falls on the 7th and 8th February 2008 here in Malaysia and around the world especially Asia. Chinese New Year is observed as a public holiday here in Malaysia and other countries and territories where a sizable Chinese population resides. And not forgetting that its the year of the Rat this year based on the Chinese horoscopes.

Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays and is an important holiday in East Asia. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th which is called Lantern Festival.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had a strong influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. It is celebrated in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Canada etc.


The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends. New clothings are usually worn to signify a new year with the colour red is liberally used in all decorations. Red packets are given to juniors and children by the married and elders. Lion dances are common during Chinese New Year. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the lion dancing aggressively can evict bad or evil spirits.
