"Widespread ignorance about basic computer security is putting millions of people at risk from net-savvy criminals, a study suggests. It found 83% of 1,000 people were not doing enough to protect themselves". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4378186.stm All Windows users in charge of a PC are STRONGLY advised to attend this course. It explains the essentials of keeping your computer safe, secure and well maintained. This is vital for PCs which are connected to the Internet (via broadband, Ethernet or even dialup). Every virus outbreak results in many PCs being successfully attacked because they are inadequately protected: avoid it happening to you! |
