About the web site owner ...
After 35 years in the computer industry I found
the most troubling issue for non-computer people
is how to manage and secure their PCs. Although it
seems everyone from grandma to grandchildren are
"logging on" to Facebook© and
"surfing the net", the concept of security and
maintenance of their PC is usually forgotten until
there's a problem.
It's no fun when your PC does not run well.
Although it may be a maintenance issue, sometimes
the cause is due to poor security that has opened
your PC to spyware infections, viruses, trojans,
or worse. If you knew about one of my favorite
products, ZoneAlarm©, all these
problems could be prevented.

turning your computer on can expose your valuable
information to hackers?
