| Summary: | "This book defines all the threats an average household might face and provides strategies to turn novice and basic users into adept home security experts, making you safer and more secure from cyber criminals." "We start off with plain English definitions for security mumbo jumbo, and then we dig in with step-by-step instructions to help you cut your exposure in less than 10 minutes! Finally, we provide steps for more involved security measures that you can do in a weekend." "We also take an in-depth look at the security measures Microsoft put in Windows Vista. We also look at how Vista responds to the key threats. It teaches you how to tweak the system and make Microsoft's new security features - like the User Access Control - less annoying and helps you adjust the system to be usable. It shows you how to set up Vista to protect your system from your kids - the biggest security hazard to your computer."--Jacket |
