Your Hacker Question
I have been hacked into by someone i know, what can i do about this????
Who do i contact about this????
Rome
Answer:
Sorry to hear about your situation. It's always painful to feel attacked, especially painful when it's someone you know. Hacking is a crime and depending on if it crosses state lines it can be a federal offense. Here is a website that gives resources for reporting a hacking crime to the authorities.

Mac Mail to Outlook
Here's some instructions on how to make it work (note: you will also need Eudora + free edition installed on the PC):
Starting in Mac Mail do the following for each mailbox you wish to transfer (In, Sent, Deleted, etc.):
Select all messages and choose File -> Save As from the main menu. Choose "Raw Message Source" as the format and a name for the group of messages and click the "Save" button. Even though there are no obvious "export" commands from Mac Mail, this will effectively create a file in standard mbox format. However, Outlook Express will not directly import this file type so we'll have to play with it a bit.
Transfer the file you just created to the PC.
Open the directory C:\Documents and Settings\[Account Name]\Application Data\Qualcomm\Eudora (you will need to go to the View tab under the Tools -> Folder Options menu and select "Show Hidden Files and Folders" to be able to view this folder).
If appropriate, rename the file you created in step 1 to match one of the mailboxes in this folder (In, Out, Junk, Trash, etc). Assign this file a .mbx extension.
Copy the file from the previous step into the folder you opened in step 3. (Important! Only do this if you don't mind overwriting the email in your Eudora application).
Open Eudora and view the mailbox you just copied. This will firmly establish your .mbx file as a Eurdora mailbox. Don't worry if the text in your messages doesn't look quite right - this will soon be remedied.
Open Outlook Express. Select File -> Import -> Messages from the main menu. Choose "Eudora Pro or Light" and go through the rest of the wizard. This should properly import all your messages from the selected mailbox into Outlook Express.
Once it's in Outlook Express it's an easy import into Outlook.

Proxy-OSS
This software is not a virus or a trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program." Proxy-OSS is distributed as an Internet Accelerator program, created by Marketscore. As advertised, the program is designed "to enhance the speed of the Internet while tracking user trends". It is a data gathering mechanism which collects personal information and internet usage statistics. The LSP (Layered Service Provider) stack is modified such that internet traffic is routed through servers operated by Marketscore. More recent versions of the software employ a local proxy, routing traffic through a process running on the host system instead of to remote servers. This local process then makes periodic transmissions to remote servers, presumably when data of interest is identified.
This software is installed via an ActiveX control downloaded from www.marketscore.com. Several files are dropped using an InstallShield installation package and many registry entries are created. A license agreement and privacy policy are displayed on the Marketscore website and must be agreed to (via selection of a checkbox) in order for the setup executable to be downloaded.
Although not observed during testing, it is possible that consumer surveys may be delivered via popup windows, as mentioned in the privacy policy.
Privacy
The Privacy Policy established sweeping rights for Marketscore to monitor internet traffic, collect user data, and establish correlations with other, personally identifiable data (version dated Feb 14, 2005)
Full Privacy Statement: http://www.marketscore.com/privacy.aspx

After Turkey Day Recipes
Alton Brown from Food Network has a video
http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/turkey-soup/27749.html
However I like the written recipes and less of the add-ins and more of the actual dinner ingredients so I'm going with this one...
This looks yummy

CD Question! HELP
Hi Ed,I'm having trouble trying to get software for printing CD labels. Avery won't downloadthe software for labels18160 which I bought. I guess because I don't have Office: microsoft word, excel snd etc.I would like to be abel to print CD labels ( have the templates). I need step by step instructions andsoftware. thanks Claire
Answer: I was in a seminar all weekend. I would recommend using avery or memorex labels for CDs. For printing you can download OpenOffice ir StarOffice for free. Once you load them open up their writer program and choose File->New-> Labels from the top menubar. For download locations check out this site http://FreeSoftwareSecrets.com. Their free report gives you information about downloading both office products.
