Web Shortcuts
Do you like to visit specific Web sites on a regular basis?  To
simplify your life, you can either create Favorites within
Explorer, or you can actually create a shortcut on your desktop
that, when clicked, takes you directly to the Web page you want
to view. Here's how:

Open Internet Explorer or Netscape. Then open the Web page. Place
the mouse in an area of the Web page with no links or banners.
Right-click that area and select Create Shortcut.

Now, when you're connected to the Web, simply click the new
desktop icon, and it will bring up your default webbrowser and
take you to your fave Web site!

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses, 
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with 
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
