ON THE WEB: COMMON SENSE SECURITY

by Hazed

If you live in a big city, you wouldn't dream of leaving your house unlocked or the windows open. You wouldn't leave the keys in the car. It would be asking for trouble.

Well, guess what - the internet is the biggest city there is, and many people do the computer equivalent of leaving everything unlocked and open. Consequently they end up with their computers infected with spyware, viruses and other nasty things.

Here's a great site that tells you how to do the equivalent of locking up your doors and windows - how to secure your computer and keep it safe from the bad guys. Go to http://www.commonsensesecurity.info and learn what you can do.
