Are you trying to be safe online? Are you worried about accidentally downloading a Trojan horse, or a virus, or a worm? Are you unclear as to what those words really mean? It's a legitimate concern; as the Internet grows, so does its seedy underbelly and the associated scum and villainy. There are viruses written specifically targeting Facebook users, and it's possible for your computer to become infected simply by opening an Adobe PDF. How is anybody supposed to keep track of all of the threats out there? That’s where Internet Security 101 comes in. Computer engineer and Internet expert Wolfram Donat teaches you not only about the best antivirus programs available, he shows you how to effectively use the one you may already have installed. You may not even have to buy an antivirus program; a free program may do everything you want it to. This guide to staying safe online takes you step by step through the entire process. In no time at all, you’ll be able to protect your computer and your files like a professional, allowing you to surf the web without worry.
