Virus Activity in My Yahoo Email

For over a year now, I have been receiving messages from my Yahoo contacts (or so it says) which only has a link to some kind of pharmaceutical sales site or something more sinister, such as s site which offers Viagra or male organ enlargement devices.

When these suspicious emails started arriving, I thought my friends were legitimately selling these items. Whenever I would reply no thank you, the emails continued to come in. Since then, I have received several of these same emails, which are now coming from the emails of more of my friends. Now, I'm not sure if they are really coming from friends or if their contact information is being stolen and used to look as if they are sending me (and possibly others) these weird emails.

If anyone else is getting these same emails, please post your comments below. I plan to approach yahoo with proof that other people are having these issues, which could finally prove that Yahoo Mail accounts are not as secure as we all believe it is.

4 Steps to Pay Multiple Credit Card Bills With One Trick

Like many of us, I have a few credit cards with high limits whose interest rates have suddenly skyrocketed. This makes it now almost impossible to pay the usual minimums, and of course, it drastically lowers my overall credit profile. The higher interest rates and resulting higher minimum payment amounts are affecting almost everyone who is still trying to keep their credit scores at a decent level.

So, when this happened to me, what did I do? I decided that if I was going to make the new high minimum payment, I would have to make a compromise among my other bills. Here's what I did: (1) I identified my other bills which I was permitted to use a credit card to make the payments (some bills, like utility bills, for example, don't permit payment using a credit card, while others, like cell phone bills do allow payment from a credit card). (2) Add up the total amount to be paid to the other bills + the previous minimum normally paid to the credit card, (3) pay that total amount to the credit card and then (4) use the credit card to pay the other bills.

These simple steps seems obvious to some people, but believe me, it isn't so obvious to everyone else. Use this trick to knock out a few bills and to relieve yourself of the stress your new credit card minimum has brought you.

Please share any bill payment trick you've got. We need all the help we can get.

How-to Forums

I'm forever grateful for the how-to forums I have been writing for. Ehow is my absolute favorite forum. I have only contributed 14 articles on how to things from removing bodily hair to preventing scars on the skin. My articles are helpful to many people who actually review the eHow articles and express how they really feel about them.

The best part, I get paid to write the articles. I get a nice amount of residual earnings each month that goes directly into my bank account. There are several blogs and forums like eHow which pay you for various types of content. All you have to do is share something you feel others will find useful and you will earn money for it.

It's that simple!!

The Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi is quite a nice little getaway when visiting the Venice of America. The south Florida, sunny venue is home of miles of mansions along breezy canal ways, and just a stone's throw away from a respectable variety of nightlife.

Work as a Customer Service Representative

So it's not what you went to college for, but right now you need the extra income!

In many cases, the people who answer when you call up your cell phone company to complain about a faulty phone or a confusing bill are very likely to be sitting on their sofas with their feet up. . .while their on the clock.

More and more well-known organizations (like At&T and Barnes & Noble) are hiring people to answer their customers' phone calls right from home. It works like this: Major companies use a "middle" company to recruit and train individuals to serve as customer service representatives. The type of services provided by at-home agents include technical support, merchandise sales, time-share exchange, cruise line booking, air-travel booking, vacation sales, basic answering services, and many more.

Check out this one for starters.

Tip: Take the work at home opportunities seriously. If you fail the training, some companies won't allow you to test for a second time.

How You Can Use Your Computer to Broaden Your Career at Home

While everyone wants to do it, most of us are just too scared!

People who work from home using their computers and the internet seem to be living a fantasy. To the rest of us ordinary folks, those who have found financial success using the internet (i.e. placing ads on Google) are probably experts at scamming readers for their time, interest and money, alike.

I'm here to tell you that the money-making aspect of the internet isn't new and it will not end anytime soon. Educating yourself is best way to learn how to become an internet entrepreneur for yourself. You deserve the opportunity to start your own business at home, optimize interest in the business you already have, or find various ways to boost personal income through the use of effective tools like search engine marketing, networking websites, and even the much hated, yet still widely explored, multi-level marketing (sorry, I will not be discussing MLM or multi-level marketing here).

Take time to explore opportunities which will help you to become a more productive internet user.
