Several people have contacted us about emails claiming to be from technical support, regarding expired virus definitions or suspicious activity. The emails also instruct you to run an attached “patch file”. DO NOT open these files. This is a virus which spreads via email. There are several strains of this virus, making it difficult to catch and filter out. The experts at Postini are working to ensure that all the strains are caught. If you receive one of these emails, just delete it.
We will never send you “patch” programs attached to email messages. If at any time you receive such an attachment claiming to be from semo.net support, you can be sure it is not legitimate. If you have any questions, or have opened the file, please contact Technical Support at 1-877-686-9114 or 573-686-9114.

Note: Google Voice Local Search is still in its experimental stage. It may not be available at all times and may not work for all users.
In the past, to read a PDF file, you would need to go through a lengthy installation process and wait for an annoying splash window to disappear just to open a PDF document. Moreover, if you want to annotate a PDF document, you have to pay US$299 to buy certain PDF software.
Now with Foxit Reader 2.0, you don’t have to endure such pain any more.
Foxit Reader is a small, fast program that allows you to read and annotate PDFs without needing a standard PDF reader.
