PhoneSpamFilter helps reduce annoying calls



In the past month, two of my friends turned on their computers only to discover that their Recycle Bins had mysteriously disappeared. Neither knew why their Recycle Bins were gone nor how to get them back.

Unfortunately, I really don’t have a good answer regarding why Recycle Bins occasionally decide to pull disappearing acts. However, I do have a trustworthy solution up my sleeve that can help put them back where they belong.

To return your Recycle Bin back to your Desktop, first head over to http://tinyurl.com/2meyw. Scroll down a bit and look over in the right-hand column of the page and locate the “Tweak UI” program — that’s what you need to download.

Tweak UI lets you select which icons you’d like to have displayed on your Desktop by default, meaning that with just a few clicks you’ll have your beloved Recycle Bin back on your Desktop.

Website of the Week: PhoneSpamFilter

PhoneSpamFilter (www.phonespamfilter.com) is a “free service designed to assist the general public in determining which callers are annoying telemarketers.” The creators of the site have aimed to develop a comprehensive database of all the phone solicitors out there so that you can decrease the frequency with which you receive spammy phone calls.

PhoneSpamFilter.com allows you to lookup suspicious phone numbers, report telemarketers, and — for the slightly more techy people out there — actually autoblock telemarketers from your phone lines.

For a few grins, make sure to visit the site’s News page (http://www.phonespamfilter.com/news.php) and browse through their short list of telemarketing-related videos, which includes titles like How to Torment Telemarketers with One Word and Fight Back against Telemarketers!
