Editor's Note
=============
February does appear to be one of the favourite months for viruses and the Anna Kournikova worm seemed to spread faster than last years notorious I Love You bug. People never seem to learn from the devastation that these programmes can cause and many simple measures that can be put in place to protect against computer violation. Can these attacks be reduced through better security systems or does this highlight a lack of training? Who then would
benefit from further training, Senior Management team, the IT Department, or the end user?
This newsletter covers a range of stories for the IT Trainer from general training issues through to latest software/hardware releases from a variety of organisations and is intended to keep you informed of as many IT issues of relevance that can be found.

RESOURCES
=========
How to display Training/HR Resource material on YOUR website
------------------------------------------------------------
In response to suggestions from members, we have created a simple and effective way in which your website or company internet site can display any (or all) of:
- a Trainers Toolkit resource library of materials
- a comprehensive HR Resource Centre
- an online and offline Learning Campus
- a suite of Business Directories
Each of these resource services if fully functioning, available 24 hours/day, and is automatically updated with all new content. All you have to do is set up a new page of your website, link in the code we supply and that is it!
This will provide your company website with the same resources as you can find on the Trainers Toolkit, HR Resource Centre, Learning Campus and Directory pages on TrainingZONE and HR Zone. The display occurs in a frameset and links to the original material from our sites. This facility is already proving popular, it offers your staff, users and clients added information and services with the minimum of effort on your part. For more details, see
