An end-user level book that focuses on solving the major security and virus-related problems encountered by computer users. Unlike other books that focus on a single aspect of the problem, this book covers all the important issues - such as viruses, security, and spam. And, while other books contain a lot of theory and background that may be of interest to a high-end user or network administrator, "Absolute PC Security" presents real-world solutions to the most common problems encountered by average users.
Michael Miller has authored more than three dozen non--fiction books in the past decade, including Sybex's Discovering P2P, Discovering Bluetooth, Mastering Word 2000 Premium Edition, and PowerPoint 2000! I Didn't Know You Could Do That. He has established a strong reputation for explaining technical information to non--technical readers, and for offering useful real--world advice about complicated topics. Mr. Miller is President of the Molehill Group, a writing/consulting firm based in Indiana.
