Has someone been hacking your Gmail account? A new feature in gmail monitors login activity (time stamp, i.p., etc.).
The article below gives step-by-step instructions and screenshots:
This time I want to go over one new Gmail feature. It watches your account and displays a notification when someone else logs into your account. Basically a nice little feature from Gmail team that lets you check if someone has hacked into your Gmail account.
When you’re in Gmail go all the way down to the bottom of the page. There you should see something starting with “Last account activity …”, that’s the feature I am going to tell you about.
[Check if Your Gmail is Hacked with Activity Monitor]

Facebook slams MySpace as the best Social Network on the Web. Recently, I joined both social networks to see which one helped me most to connect with my old pals.
Facebook offers:
- Better User Experience: Easy to use with limited ads (reflective of my tastes & interests)
- Superior Search Query: Easier to find old classmates from High School & College
- Fun Activities: Play trivia games with friends (Movies & TV)
- Organizations & Campaigns: Join & learn about various movements (Political, Religious & Civic)

On the anti-virus software, I’m not a big fan of Norton. It can be very heavy on your system resources. So, even though you’re virus free, your computer runs as slow as if it was infected.
System Suite is what we use on our PCs. Actually, I’ve been using it since we started 4 Geeks in 2000. I recommend to all of my tech support clients. It is the quickest and easiest way for me to help folks clean up their computers.
