Thing 3

I started "playing" tonight when I made my Avatar. I went to Yahoo to make mine and I was happy to see that ALA actually has their own avatar READ tee-shirt! I can see why the kids have so much fun with Second Life! It can be addictive to look through everything. I was a little concerned about picking up viruses on my computer from some of the free avatar sites and that was why I decided to stick with Yahoo. Does anybody know if viruses are an issue on these sites? If they are, is there anything I can do to keep my computer safe?

  1. If you have all the usual security and virus protection on your computer, you should be ok! Although there is always that possibility, it has not really been an issue during the times we have run this program.

    Also, as you probalby have guessed the avatars are playing hide-n-seek from us....s oif you want yours to show, go back to the siute and save your avatar as a picture (jpg file) and the nuse the picture gadget to add it to your sidebar!
