eBook Description

The following is a description of PC Security Guide, as per the authors:

For better or worse, more of our daily activities are spent on the Internet. We stay in touch with friends and family, post those fun vacation photos for all to see, check out the latest movies, look up interesting things to buy, and much more.

But we’re also putting more and more sensitive personal information on the Net, such as when we manage our online banking and investments, pay our bills, and purchase those movie tickets with our credit cards. That online activity comes with significant risk — and it’s a threat that’s becoming difficult to counter.

Each of us is now faced with the daunting task of protecting ourselves and our families in the virtual worlds we travel. To make the job a bit easier, the editors of the Windows Secrets Newsletter have compiled some of the best security stories from our archives.

The PC and Internet Security Guide is a concise e-book that provides simple and straight forward advice for secure computing. It’s designed to give you the fundamental tools you’ll need to protect your PC and personal information from most online threats.

dotTech Advice

PC Security Guide is a 58-page eBook by the folks at Windows Secrets. I haven’t read it but Windows Secrets has a reputation for being a good source of sound advice, so it is probably worth your while to grab this while it is free (usually costs $9.95) and glance through it if you have free time. Or read it all immediately if you are really zealous about your cyber security.
