How You Can Avoid Being an Internet Victim

Posted on April 4, 2005 3:26 PM by Joel Comm

Have you caught any of the recent news stories about (the lack of) Internet security for people with Windows PCs? I have and it concerned me enough to actively seek help.

Frankly, there are some frightening threats out there that you need to be aware of.

For instance, are you familiar with "Spyware?" This is monitoring software that is secretly copied onto your computer without your knowledge or consent. Its purpose? To record as much sensitive information as it can about you - including accounts, passwords, financial information, etc.

Are you thoroughly protected against malicious threats like this?

If the only security program on your computer is a virus checker, you are *not* well protected. You owe it to yourself to take proactive measures.

The good news is that there are free ways to protect yourself.

How do I know so much about it?

I have cleaned up SO many computers of friends and family members. I can not tell you how many hours I have spent removing spyware and viruses. However, for the average Joe, this is a very complicated endeavor.

I recently downloaded an ebook entitled, "How to Secure Your Computer Using Free Tools and Smart Strategies." I think it is the answer to the prayers of thousands (millions?) of people who struggle with spyware, adware, viruses, etc...

This information is easy to understand and written especially for normal people not "tech geeks." It tells you everything you need to know to *thoroughly* protect your PC and private information. Not only that, it shows you how to do it using reliable and high-quality free security programs.

The cost for this material is nothing compared to how much you could lose if you're not protected.

This is a problem that will not go away on its own. Honestly, most people can't believe how vulnerable they are before reading this information.

Please visit this website and learn how you can protect your online safety and security. Practice safe computing!

The more adventurous can also try OS/2 Warp, MacIntosh, Linux, BSD, Solaris and Unix. 8>)

After all, Windows is not the only personal computer operating system in the world though the media would generally lead the uninformed to believe such nonsense.
