BY ANDY IHNATKO

I'm wholly in favor of (1) spending as little money as possible, and (2) making my computing experience as safe and happy as possible.

Toward those ends, (1) I pursued a career in Technology Punditry, in which software and hardware manufacturers are more than happy to send me stuff to try out, and (2) I got a Macintosh.

But this plan won't work for all of you. Some of you have already impulsively spent all of your education money on medical or law degrees, for instance, and only an enlightened few are arrogant enough to make a serious go of Mac ownership.

But while there's no shortage of solid commercial software for protecting a Windows machine from online nastiness, there's no shortage of free solutions either.
