Protecting Your PC (General Computing Series)
$39.95
Using a computer that's connected to the Internet seems to be to be a lot like living in the old west must have been. That is rather like a law of the jungle with the Sheriff out of town a lot.
There are people out there who would like to send your computer troublesome software like viruses, spyware, adware, all kinds of malware. For some reason they seem to think that just your being there is an open invitation for them to try to compromise your system.

The author is a principle software engineer for Symantec, the company that produces the Norton security software. In this book he describes the various types of attacks you are likely to get and tells you how to protect yourself from virtually all types. He includes with the book a trial version of Norton's Internet Secutiry 2006 and tells you how to get the best out of it.

The interesting thing about computer security is that if it is working perfectly you never know that its there. You simply use your computer without interruption, without popups, without mysterious -- well, you get the picture.

The Best Little E-Mail Address & Password Organizer
$4.99
It is smaller and less sturdy than I expected, plus the addresses are at the front of the book and the passwords are at the back. I would have preferred to have space to write it all together. I did not put the passwords at the back of the book saving myself time and energy. It is good for when we move though.

Internet Address Book with Computer Back Up Files : Professional Version
$19.95
It's not a bad organizer, but it could be more user friendly. It would help to have divider tabs between the different sections, or some way to immediately go to what you're looking for. As it is, you have to flip through the pages to locate a specific page. Also, the information is rather crammed together. There is more than enough room on each page to have a double column for information, and less space for notes.
