WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small piece of information sent to your browser which contains information about settings you changed on a web site. For example, if you go to an on-line
bookstore and put 3 books in your cart but then decide that you want to purchase those books later, the web site will send a cookie to your browser with information on
what books you selected. When you visit that site again, the cookie will be sent back to the site, and the site will display "where you left off."
While some have theorized that cookies may be being used to track information on your actions on a web site for advertisement or monitoring purposes, cookies can be
considered a valuable and harmless tool for web sites to use to "save your settings" for a particular page.

HOW
DOES ONE GET A COMPUTER VIRUS?
"Virii (or viruses) CAN be sent through email. But they cannot be
plain text. Here are known ways to send virii through email: 1. With
an attached executable. This can only hurt you if you if you execute it. Names will be
disguised like Windows96up.exe or Freestuff.exe. 2. As an HTML mail-message, linking to a gif/jpeg file, which has a virus
in it. Text-only mail-readers will not be hurt by
this. 3. Mail with an attached Word/Excel file. This can only hurt you, if you open it in
the corresponding program. It will have a macro
in it, that actually has a virus. Protection against this is common-sense." -
