A Good
Week for Emails...(not)
Welcome
to Week 5 of THE GL@ZINE and I hope you are continuing to find our electronic
newsletter informative and easy to use.
We are all too aware that many of you have suffered in the past couple
of weeks from two particularly nasty computer viruses.
This is especially bad when it happens at home, without the protection
of the company firewall and other network security measures.
However, we want to assure you that web and email viruses (or is that
virii?) do not spell the end of the internet as we know it. This is why
I am devoting this space this week to a few words about how to protect
yourself. In the meantime, rest assured that THE GL@ZINE is always checked
to be 100% free from viruses prior to sending.
Please email us on security@theglazine.com
if you need any more information about our security measures, and click
