Get all latest information on your desktop as soon as it is released
The new
technology provides an alternative solution to the increasing difficulty
of distributing information by e-mails.
As more e-mail
messages get blocked, filtered, and lost in overflowing inboxes full of
spam, we have been looking for a secure alternative method to deliver
SOS Newsletters directly to you.
You are among
the FIRST people to join this brand-new service that uses a special
technology.
So you are now
guaranteed to get a FIRST LOOK at information through newsletters -- all
delivered straight to your desktop, in a super reader-friendly format.
Please follow

SOSNews Desktop
Reader is designed to be as user-friendly as possible and to run "behind
the scenes" without interfering with other programs or tasks. After you
install it, the program will start automatically and continue running in
the background to ensure that you receive regular, timely notifications
about new messages as they become available.

running is the small taskbar tray icon on the lower right-hand side of
your computer screen.

Desktop Reader software, right-click the taskbar tray icon and click
Exit. This will close the
software, and you will not receive any new message notifications again
until you start the program again.
To restart SOSNews
Desktop Reader, click the Start
menu on your computer desktop, then click
All Programs, then find
SOSNews icon and click it. The program will also restart
automatically each time you turn on your computer.

Click the
Start menu on your
computer desktop.
