Category: Internet by Dennis Faas, infopackets editor http://www.infopackets.com Gazette Reader 'Katie' asks: " Why is it that some sites ask that you type in your email address twice using a web form? What does typing in your email address two times have to do with anything? It's simple enough to cut and paste the email address into the second line, but a hassle. What do you think? " My response: ...

And, if you've used Google before, then you've probably noted tiny ad placements (called AdWords) located to the right of Search results. But did you know that regular people -- like yourself -- are generating a substantial second income simply by creating their own AdWord campaigns in their spare time? It's true -- and you can do it, too. So, how does it work?

For example, there's a service running in the background which is called 'Automatic Updates'. I don't know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and un/checking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour.
