Anyone who wants to know about spyware, adware, malware, trojans, and viruses will find this a very information-filled e-book. It discusses the difference between these various online attackers and also provides tips and guidelines on how remove them from your computer as well as ones that will block them and provide you with protection. A very helpful read, so take the advice to heart because you will definitely save yourself a lot of headache. It concluded in a weird way, however, with the authors wishing the reader good luck with his or her ghostwriting business and Internet moneymaking plans. I say this product is definitely going to need editing so the content has a nice and appropriate conclusion, otherwise it's almost perfect, so hopefully this will be fixed. Overall, this is a good product to keep as well as resell to your customers because it can help protect them as well.

As I was downloading this, I was actually beside myself with amusement. I was chuckling to no end because this is actually a problem with Microsoft Windows users, but not much with Linux and Apple's OS X users.
One thing that this e-book is good for, is that it would emphasize to the Windows user that his/her computer is actually a vulnerable thing. This would really show the Windows user that he or she should get an antivirus program and get it now.
However, I do not agree with this e-book that Norton and McAfee are the best antivirus software out there. While they certainly dominated the market, in my experience with these two, they were expensive to maintain, and they were heavy on the computer's resources.
My recommendation is to try Clamwin, which is an open-source community project, or Avira AntiVir. These two were the most excellent anti-virus programs I've used so far, and by far, through all the infestations that my formerly Windows computer had gone through, these two survived, I only had to alternate them because sometimes the malware blocked their access to the Internet. But the best bet for me would be to go for a Unix-like system like Linux or Mac OS X.
But back to this e-book: it's very informative, and would educate people on the true significance of protecting their computer... Or choosing a better Operating System. :p Linux is free, you know..

Idiot’s guide to PC safety, March 23, 2008
This is a nice basic guide on the usual online threats your PC may be subjected to. Though I know viruses and a bit of spyware, it is through this report that I really understood spyware – and yes, that it can actually be friendly. But in the opposite extreme, it can actually be more dangerous than a virus, as it can enable identity theft. The report also differentiated spyware and adware, which I previously understood as the same thing. The glossary at the end of the report also helped me understand concepts on online threats.
The recommended software here against viruses, adware and spyware also sound reputable, especially the very well-known Norton. In addition, the report gives other tips to ensure your PC’s protection.
While I am satisfied with the information here, I find the promotion at the end of the report a bit off as it is not quite related to the topic discussed.
