Six safety tips for using gadgets with Windows Vista
Gadgets are easy-to-use mini programs that provide information at a glance and offer simple desktop access to tools you use most often. For example, you can use gadgets to display business data, weather information, news updates, traffic maps, Internet radio streams, and even slide shows of online photo albums on your desktop. A malicious gadget, like any malicious software, can be programmed to access your computer's files, collect your personal information, or show you unwanted content. To download and use gadgets safely, take the same safety precautions that you take with any other program or file you download from the Web: •Know and trust the source of the gadget.
•Don't download or run gadgets from an Administrator-level user account.
•Use parental controls to keep children from downloading unsafe gadgets.
•Install up-to-date antispyware and anti-virus software.
•Keep Windows Vista up-to-date.
•Turn off Windows Sidebar if you don't want to use it. You can download gadgets for Windows Vista from a variety of Web sites, such as Windows Live Gallery. You install gadgets on Windows Sidebar, which helps you organize your gadgets and move them around the desktop. Remember that many Web sites, including Windows Live Gallery, host community-generated content, which is content that anyone can make available to others.
