INTERNET CONNECTIONS   (01/13/2012) How to Download and Install Skype By Loren Abdulezer, Susan Abdulezer, and Howard Dammond Downloading Skype Ready to get started? First, pick up the latest version of Skype:     1. With your Internet browser open, enter www.skype.com in the address line to open the Home page of the Skype Web site.     2. Click the Download button on the Skype home page to open the Download page.     Skype will begin the download to your computer. It will automatically determine the operating system and the Web browser that you are using. This screen will tell you what to do after the program downloads. If the download doesn’t start automatically, you will be able to start it manually by clicking on Start Download Again. After you click to download the program, you may be prompted to save or open the program SkypeSetup.exe. Always choose to save the file to your hard drive. Do not open or run the program during the download process. Skype sometimes posts two types of downloads, the general public version and the next new beta version. If you are just starting out, it's best to download the general public version because it’s more stable. In time, the beta version will become the public version, and you can upgrade.    3. Select Save to Disk. Choose an easy-to-remember location, such as the Windows Desktop, and click OK. Remember this location so that you can double-click the file after it is saved. Installing Skype When your download is complete and the program is saved to disk, follow these steps to install the program:     1. Double-click the SkypeSetup program that you just saved or just click Run if you have that option. If a User Account Control windows pops up asking you for permission, just click Continue.    2. When the installer program launches, it asks you to choose a language; select it from a drop-down list.     The installer program then asks you to read and accept the End User License Agreement. You need to accept this to continue the installation. The program may also ask if you want to install certain other programs or browser add-ons. You are under no obligation to install these. If you don’t want the extras, just uncheck the box and click on Next.    3. Click the Options button.     On this page you have the choice to launch Skype as soon as the installation is complete. This box is already checked. If you don't want Skype to start up right away, deselect the box by clicking it. You also have the option to update the Skype Extras Manager and to install a Skype Plugin for the web browser (s) that you have installed on the computer.    4. Click I agree -- Install.     Skype asks you to set up an account by entering a Name, a Skype Name, and Password. The next screen asks for your e-mail address, country, and city. If the Skype name you specified is already in use, you will get a chance to choose another name. Once you complete this, Skype is installed and automatically launches itself (unless you deselected the Launch Skype check box on the Options screen). THE LANGUAGE OF TEXT One reason for the surge in texting abbreviations—more than 2,000 and counting, according to NetLingo—is the boom in social-media sites like Twitter, where messages are limited to 140 characters. Text messages, too, are limited in length, so users have developed an alphabet soup of shorthand abbreviations to save time, and their thumbs Say What?

1 Viruses are self-executing, self-replicating programs. They alter the way a computer operates without the knowledge or permission of the user. When activated,, viruses may damage files, cause erratic system behavior, or display annoying messages. The ability to self-replicate differentiates viruses from Trojan horses and other virus-like programs. 2 A Worm is a self-replicating virus that does not alter files but resides in active memory and duplicates itself. Worms use parts of an operating system that are automatic and usually invisible to the user. It is common for worms to be noticed only after their uncontrolled replication consumes system resources, slowing or halting other tasks.

Active Trojan Horses are also called Remote Access Trojans. 4 Malware short for malicious software is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent.
