Computer Security
There are many elements involved in properly securing your computer. This subject is complicated enough that many questions I receive involve security issues and it's often difficult to give the questioner all the information they need. As a result I built this section of my web site, with the goal of putting basic information prepared for average computer users all in one place.
The information on this site is not an exhaustive description of computer security. It is designed for home users who are concerned about this complex subject and need more information.
I have broken up the various topics into separate pages. For further information on these subjects, follow these links:
