FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global
programme created to get children excited about science and
technology.
Our President, Warren Wyllie, and his
wife are both volunteers for FFL and they believe that it is a good
cause.
Warren would like you to look at
the two attachments to this e-mail. He also wishes you to know
that the Alex Cox mentioned in the in the e-mail address is his
brother-in-law.
Hello and Welcome,
At this week's Main Meeting Lloyd Borrett, AVG's Marketing and
Security Guru, provided some worrying insights into the security threats
that exist on the Internet and showed some of the products AVG has
developed to counter these threats.
It is worth reporting that Lloyd encouraged members to use AVG's free "Linkscanner" software to scan Internet sites in real time to ensure they are safe.
AVG claims that this program will not conflict with other security software running on the same computer.
