A great book for lay people on explaining the 'how' of spyware, adware, and
viruses on our computers. This book also gives easy to understand directions
on how to protect individual privacy on our computer. Antivirsus, internet
security, and antispy software tutorials are given that allows all people to
easily put these on their own computer. There are very few books out there
that explains the wide range of topics: workplace monitoring, high tech
lifestyles, privacy issues, the government and provacy, anti virus, antispy
software, and cyber bludging. Highly recommended for all!

I found this book to be a great reference for removing the multitude of
spyware I found on my computer. The thing was moving so slow and I just
happened across this title out of word-of-mouth about the author, who lives
somewhere nearby. I have to say the tutorials that are included in this book
should be highlighted more than they are. I finally got my computer to run
again.
