What are the differences between tabs vs links in a web page?

I often hear people talk about ‘tabs’ and ‘links’ in web page. I notice that ‘tabs’ are always on the horizontal position on top part of a web page. Links are mostly located in the vertical column or within the main texts.
But, what are actually the correct differences among the two?
Thanks.

If I understand your question correctly, you’re referring to a set of links at the top of a web page, rather than part of the browser interface that lets you view several web pages, switching between them by selecting a tab, as in Firefox or Internet Explorer 7.

A "link" is a reference to a resource of some kind. It may link to another portion of the page, a different page on the same site, or something of that nature. Tabs are a design feature, as seen in the linked example, which place links in a row at the top of the web page.

So, to sum up, tabs use links, but there are plenty of other ways to use links as well. Does that help?

How do you scan links and files with macafee?

I have Macafee virus protection on my computure and i was just wondering how to scan sites/links/files etc with macafee.

Not certain about McA., but here’s a couple of optional methods:
Web of Trust (gives user input about a site’s ‘trust’ factor)

And
Google ‘safe search’ diagnostic tool pre-screens the site you seek and gives feedback about it’s current (real time) malware stats.
To use the tool, "copy" this URL link, then append the questionable URL to the end, the hit ‘go’ button:

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=

McA. may not be the best choice for that particular layer of defense: try another item for improved performance and detection.

What are the links between context and conventions?

I am writing an essay on how understanding context and conventions help to understand intertextuality.
I have it all planned out, and I’m doing the paragraph about context and conventions, but I can only think of a few links.
Can you think of any, other than the language use?

i dunno
sorry i cant help
