About the Book

Unlike other books that focus on a single aspect of the problem, this book covers all the important issues - such as viruses, security, and spam. And, while other books contain a lot of theory and background that may be of interest to a high-end user or network administrator, "Absolute PC Security" presents real-world solutions to the most common problems encountered by average users.
