Adding a Signature to your MAC Mail

    Mail creates a default signature for you.

3. Select any part of the default signature that you don’t want to use and enter your own text.
    Select “Always match my default message font” or use the Format menu to change the font, color, style, and        alignment of your signature text.
  

4. When you add formatting, your signature becomes rich text. You can also drag a picture or a vCard file to your signature.

5. Use the Choose Signature pop-up menu to choose the default signature for the account.

•     Choose None if you don’t want a signature to appear automatically.
•     To have Mail randomly select a signature, choose In Random Order.

Protect Yourself On Line

Be Aware of Phishing Scams

Familiarized yourself with phishing scams and techniques, which are used to trick you into divulging your account information, such as passwords and account numbers. 

Online banking sites, Paypal, EBay, Amazon, and other popular sites that require logins are popular targets.

Use a Safe Password

Websites that store confidential data, such as an online bank site need to use strong passwords. Also, it is highly recommended that you use a different password for each website that requires a login. If you need help remembering your passwords consider using a password manager.

Strong passwords should not be whole words. 

Try using symbols and numbers mixed in with letters.  EX: T@he&f~At(c#at  (the fat cat)

Use Caution when Accepting or Agreeing to Prompts

When prompted to install any program or add-on make sure to read and understand the agreement before clicking on the Ok button. 

If you do not understand the agreement or feel it is not necessary to install the program cancel or close the window.

Additionally, when installing any program watch for any check box that asks if it's ok to install a third-party program, toolbar, etc. These are never required and often cause more issues than good. Leave these boxes unchecked.
