What precautionary measures should you observe when you are logged-in in a public
computer?

When using a public computer, it is important to take certain precautions to protect your
personal information and prevent unauthorized access to your accounts. Here are some precautionary
measures you should observe:

1. Delete your Browsing History.This should be the first step you take to protect your privacy when
Web surfing on a public computer. When you’ve finished browsing, it’s a good idea to delete your
cookies, form data, history, and temporary Internet files.
2. Don’t save files locally. When you’re using a computer other than your own, even if it’s a trusted
friend’s machine, it’s polite to avoid saving files locally if you can help it. This is basically equivalent
to not cluttering up another person’s home with your junk. On a public machine, though, this goes
 beyond politeness and is an important security practice. Many of the files you would normally save
locally, such as e-mail attachments, can contain private or sensitive information. An easy way to
protect this data is to carry a flash drive and save files there when necessary.
3. Don’t save passwords. This should be obvious when using a public computer, but if the option is
already turned on, you might forget about it. To make sure passwords are not saved in Internet
Explorer 7, go to Tools | Internet Options | Content. In the AutoComplete panel, click the Settings
button and verify that the Prompt Me To Save Passwords check box is deselected. None of the
other AutoComplete features needs to be enabled either, so deselect them as well. In Firefox,
choose Tools | Options | Security and deselect Remember Passwords For Sites.
4. Don’t do online banking. You should remember that ultimately, a public computer is never going
to be anywhere close to completely secure, so there are some things you just shouldn’t use them
for. If you really need to check your balance on the road, you’re much better off finding a branch
office or ATM or using your phone.
5. Don’t enter credit card information. As with online banking, public computers are not the place
for online shopping. Your purchases from eBay or Amazon.com can and should wait until you can
browse from a more secure location. A little added convenience isn’t worth the trouble of having
your credit card hijacked.
6. Delete temporary files. Temporary files (often abbreviated to “temp files”), as opposed to
temporary Internet files, are created when you use programs other than a Web browser. For
instance, when you create a Word document, in addition to the actual document file you save,
Word creates a temporary file to store information so memory can be freed for other purposes and
to prevent data loss in the file-saving process.
7. Clear the pagefile. The pagefile is the location on the hard disk that serves as virtual memory in
Windows. Its purpose is to swap out data from RAM so that programs can operate as if they have
more RAM available than you actually have installed in the computer. Anything that can be stored
in memory could also be stored in the pagefile. To have this automatically cleared on shutdown,
you need to use Local Security Policy.
8. Reboot. When you’re finished using the public computer, the final thing you should do is a hard
reboot. This will not only clear the pagefile, if you’ve enabled that option, but it will also clear out
everything you did from the physical memory (RAM).
9. Boot from another device.This is a fairly advanced option, and one that is often overlooked. If
you boot from either your own USB drive or from a CD, many of the problems mentioned above
can be avoided. Today, many Linux distributions have the option of running completely in memory
after booting from a CD. If a public computer has had its BIOS options left at default (which
happens more often than you would think), this could be an option. If you are able to do this and
remember not to save any other files to the local hard drive, everything will be gone when you
reboot.
10. Pay attention to your surroundings and use common sense.. Finally, you need to remember
to pay attention to things outside of the actual computer that could be a risk. Be aware of strangers
around you (potential shoulder surfers) and remember that a public computer is just that — public.
Don’t view any truly sensitive documents you couldn’t bear for others to see. Remember the
security camera over your shoulder. Cover your hands from view when entering any login
information to prevent any casual spying. Most important, remember that there is nothing you can
do to make a public computer completely secure. A truly malicious owner or user could install a
hardware keystroke logger that would be impossible to detect without actually opening the case
and inspecting it. With that less-than-comforting thought, use common sense and use public
computers only for nonsensitive tasks.

What Does Mail Merge ?

Mail merge is a feature within most data processing applications that enables users to send a
similar letter or document to multiple recipients. It enables connecting a single form template with a
data source that contains information about the recipient’s name, address and other predefined and
supported data.

Mail merge primarily automates the process of sending bulk mail to customers, subscribers or
general individuals. It works with two documents, the data file and the letter template. The data file
includes the information of the recipients to whom the letter is to be sent. This file can be a spreadsheet
or database file containing separate fields for each different type of information to be merged within the
letter.

The second file is the word document or the letter template. The recipients' information on the
letter template is kept empty. When the mail merge process is initiated, the recipients' data from the
spreadsheet or database data file is fetched and placed within the empty field in the letter, one by one,
until all letters are created.
