The CD automatically sets up Internet Explorer and Netscape to work with our service. Outlook Express is the email client that it sets up. Use Outlook Express and check your email with us regularly (even if you have a hotmail, yahoo, or other email) because we send out maintenance notices, bills, new virus information, etc… to you by email that must be checked using Outlook Express. Also, check our homepage occasionally. We post updates and what is going on with the service on it also!!!
