PSMail Quick Tip: Though it may be convenient to give all users on your home computer the same privileges, for security purposes it's best to create not more than two administrative users, especially in this age when home users have in-house networks. Give younger children and teenagers basic user level access only. Both Macintosh and Windows PC allow you to create non-administrative users for basic computer functions like playing games, word processing, and surfing the web. Restricting the use of administrative users on your PC helps keep your family and your information safe. |

The importance of a secure email service.
Did you know that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) can easily read your email and use it for their own marketing purposes? They can also sell information about your Internet browsing habits to other companies.
Did you know that your mailbox can receive a virus that can completely destroy data on your computer and that you could accidentally transmit that virus to your friends and family?
Did you know that only 20% of email are legitimate messages? 80% are offensive or abusive emails known as SPAM.
These are just a few reasons why having a secure email service is so important. PSMail.net's servers provide you with privacy protection by using SSL to encrypt your email and keep it from prying eyes. We also provide virus scanning and SPAM filtering to protect your mailbox from dangerous incoming messages.
