BE AWARE OF INTERNET DANGERS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM!
If you use the Internet for work or play, you are wide open to serious exploitation unless you take specific measures to protect yourself. Nothing may happen this week, this month, or even this year but, as sure as eggs are eggs, it's only a matter of time before you find yourself with serious problems. "But I have anti-virus protection already", you might say. Sorry to disillusion you but, although that's good, it's only a small part of what you need. There is more to online security than just having an anti-virus program! Real security is all about: (1) the things you need to KNOW; (2) the things you need to DO; and (3) the things you need to AVOID doing.
So how can I be truly safe online?
The truth is that nobody can guarantee 100% security. However, if you are new to the Internet (or perhaps even if you're not so new), you could pick up many really useful Internet security tips from this ebook that will make you 99% safer than you probably are right now. It is written in plain English for the 'not so technically minded' and is all about how to get the most out of being online at the same time as guarding against its many dangers.
For example, some of the topics covered include:
...How to get free virus protection
...Other free defenses you should install
...Keeping your children safe online
...Vital information about safe surfing
...How to recognize and avoid online scams
...Securing your PC and its private data
...How to spot unscrupulous marketers
...Guarding your personal privacy online
...Staying safe from criminal intrusion
...Keeping your home Wi-Fi network secure
...Crucial advice regarding password security
and much, much more!
If you are a parent with children who use the Internet at home, at the library or at a friend's house (especially where they might access it unsupervised), it is your duty to have at least the level of understanding that this book provides, in order to properly advise them. Internet safety for kids is mostly a matter of advising them what not to do online.
Tech-speak really cannot be avoided but this book includes a comprehensive Glossary Of Terms too, which lists and explains over 350 common acronyms and other snippets of jargon peculiar to the world of IT and marketing. In other words, Internet Traps, Rip-offs And Pitfalls (ITRAPS) covers Internet security for those with limited technical know-how as well as for absolute beginners.
The Internet is an incredible communications hub that can link you to a virtual treasure trove of knowledge, as well as offering a plethora of work from home opportunities. However, if you want to make money online from home, you need to be very, very cautious. There are thousands of money-making schemes online that are really just traps for the unwary. ITRAPS spells them out and points you in the right direction. The book even has a section on finding the ideal 'work from home' opportunity, if that is what you really want.
At less than US$3.50 This book is a real bargain.
