We have started a new features list of what has been incorporated into this new version of our software.  One of the highlights is the importing of UPS WorldShip tracking information into Total Order Plus invoice history during the daily closing in WorldShip.

It's not always easy to determine whether or not your computer has been infected with a virus, worm, Trojan or spyware, because authors of malicious software do their best to disguise their work. But there are some symptoms that could help you figure it out. Signs your computer may be infected:

The first thing to do is take steps to avoid getting infected in the first place. That includes making sure your applications, anti-virus software and operating system are all updated. You can also reduce potential vulnerabilities that cybercriminals could exploit by uninstalling applications that you don't use very much.

You can try rebooting your computer in 'safe' mode and then perform an anti-virus scan to eliminate any potential infections.
