Description:

Computer Security for Dummies, takes a broad approach to the subject. Only one chapter is devoted to the Internet, which is reasonable. After all, computers had security problems long before the Internet, and anyone focusing just on the online world is ignoring some important issues. Authors Peter T. David and Barry D. Lewis begin by defining the risks and threats and move briskly, but informatively, through physical security (locking up your computer); picking perfect passwords; backing up data; avoiding viruses; and offering specific security tips for the Mac, DOS, and Windows 95. In the best-selling Dummies series style, there's much that's amusing and much that's useful. As a primer of basic computer security issues for the uninformed, it is not to be missed.
