Feeling overwhelmed with the task of maintaining & protecting your PC? Steve will take you through Windows Live One Care, a new approach to protection for your computer that's more than just anti-virus software. Windows Live OneCare will care for all your security and maintenance issues in one easy to manage, and easy to use convenient package.
Steve will also look at a few tools and techniques to help you increase your productivity. He shows us the difference between the most common email technologies, demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of such options as POP and web based mail, and helps us choose the best option for our particular lifestyle. Once you have an email system in place, Steve walks you the next step, choosing a calendar and explains why you need to back it up.
On Tech Toys, Caroline shows us the EAP03 by Tension Labs for the serious audiophile. EAP03 is an audio amplifier for your personal music device. It helps boost the audio signal coming out of your player, making your music sound bigger and better than before.

I've tried continuously to access my control panel. However, all I get is: DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION - MICROSOFT WINDOWS

flagging gmail notices into my telusplanet email
Hi, I just caught the tail end of your show yesterday & you were speaking about flagging a notice from gmail to another mail box to notify me that I have a gmail, nstead of having to check both everyday. My other email is through telusplanet. How do I do that?
re: flagging gmail
You can set up one of your email accounts to automatically forward copies (or originals) of all emails to another email address you specify. On the receiving account (the one that you check more regularly) you can set up a rule flagging messages coming from your other email address, making them easier to recognize.

Scrubbing Data
If it is old hard drives that you are wanting to securely dispose of then I recommend using a utility such as Autoclave (http://staff.washington.edu/jdlarios/autoclave-discontinued/). It is a free utility which sole purpose is to securely erase hard drives. I would recommend using 3 passes when using the program.
