The helpfulness of Spybot

Hi guys!!

As part of our assignment for Virtual Assistant course under Mr.Jomar Hilario, we were asked to choose from different websites and programs, and make a basic guideline. Spybot was one of the programs I chose.

What I like about Spybot is that it removes unwanted spyware in your computer, and it's free. I hate spyware because it logs itself in your computer without you knowing it. And it affects your computer's efficiency because these spyware also eats space and memory.

But fret not, just download Spybot, and it will solve your problem. How to Use Spybot

Using Google Docs

If you have  a gmail account, it comes with Google Docs. You can log-in to Google Docs using you gmail account username and password.

Google Docs is like Microsoft Office. You can compose documents, make spreadsheets, create presentation, make forms and you can also draw.

You can also save all your finished documents within Google Docs. When you open your Google Docs, let us say, at computer shop, you can still access your work. It also has "Collections". This is the equivalent of file folders.

I made a simple guide for Google Docs, but I just used Spreadsheet for my example.

Dropbox: Your virtual attache case.

Do you have two or three e-mail addresses so you could e-mail files to yourself?

Well, I do. Aside from the fact that e-mail accounts have limited storage capacity back then, another reason is I made them my virtual attache case. I started having e-mail accounts way back when I was in college, which was year 1999 or 2000. I would e-mail to my group mates class assignments and other files needed for school. I would also e-mail some to myself since I don't like carrying diskettes with me all the time. When I get home from school, I will open my e-mail and download all the files I e-mailed to myself and work at home.

The bad thing about this, is it takes time uploading to your e-mail, sending it out, and then downloading from my other e-mail.

But now there is Dropbox. What does it do? Well, you literally drop all your files in it, and access it anywhere. You can download Dropbox at all the computers at your home. When you upload a file at Dropbox, you can access them from any of your computers at home.

I made a basic how-to for drop box. Here....
