Security and safety for a Novice...

[rrrh1]

I have a friend which got a new computer for Christmas, they are a complete novice.

The can turn it off and on, log into their account, and surf and email.

When it come to anything else I am talking in a foreign language to them.

I need a site that explains computer security and malware protection in the most basic of ways.

I don't want a site that tries to sell a product or service, just the facts in layman's terms.

Then after they get the basics maybe start talking software.

I am not able to go there personally, so I need something to get the ball rolling.

I went and looked at the site and sent them a link.

Theres work in keeping up a computer and keeping you information safe and some people will not take the time to learn.

Then they come crying when the big bad "thing" happens.

Ever notice most people only start thinking about security and safety after the fact.

Thanks for the link!
