VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
Could you type your way out of trouble if your keyboard died? Windows XP offers a rescue utility, The On Screen Keyboard, originally designed for users with disabilities. You can launch the On Screen Keyboard by clicking on the Start button, then on Run and typing OSK and hitting Enter. You need a working keyboard to do that, but if you create a desktop shortcut first, your mouse will be all you need to get you out of trouble. Right-click on any part of the Desktop, then on New, then on Shortcut. Type OSK and click the Next button twice.

Newest Version of avast! antivirus Released
avast! antivirus 4.8 is a major technology upgrade to the avast! product line available from avast! Reseller The Networking Company. avast! antivirus now includes anti-spyware detection and anti-rootkit capabilities (*see the Jargon Alert below)

Allan Williams Technical Sales of The Networking Company commented: "This is not just an upgrade of avast! as this release includes anti-spyware detection. This feature is often a chargeable extra with many competitive anti-virus products this represents excellent value for money. As we don't think that a partial solution in scanning is a solution at all we are delighted to recommend avast! as the best solution for small businesses."

avast! antivirus 4.8 is available in three Editions. For non-commercial home, avast! Home Edition (free download) or for business, avast! Professional Edition. To purchase or to arrange a free trial contact The Networking Company.

The Networking Company's current avast! Home Edition or Professional Edition users need only upgrade their software, no need to download again, in most cases this will be fully automatic. Other users can follow the update notification prompt to keep their software up-to-date. All licensed users will receive the program upgrade as part of their subscription. Any problems then call 0845 6340844 option 1 for Technical Support.

*Jargon Alert! Anti-spyware? Rootkits?
Spyware is software that installs on a computer system and is designed to collect information about the computer user, often without their knowledge or consent. This information may result in so-called identity theft, or theft of valuable information (such as bank or credit card details) or business data. Rootkits are programs that install on your system, while keeping themselves, their processes, services and registry keys hidden, to stay invisible to the user. They represent a substantial security risk on home and company networks and are notoriously difficult to find and remove. Rootkits are normally deployed via another malware infection (eg a Trojan).
