Hurricane Rita came and went with more of a whisper than a bang, but Katrina and Rita are both still the focus of many fraudsters and phishing scams so beware. Last week there was a flaw identified in Firefox and Thunderbird which Secunia deemed "Extremely Critical" so be sure to check out that information if you use either of those or some other version of the Mozilla web browser to be sure you are patched and protected. Lastly for this week, with school bac in session everywhere else, I decided to post links to the free courses on this site so school can be back in session here as well.

It's really nice that you've taken the effort and time to
help those out there who are searching for resources
pertaining to this area. Your real dedication to getting the
solution out there looks to be very beneficial
and has allowed college students much like me to arrive at their
objectives. Do know that this work means a lot to all of us.
