growing concern that everyone must deal with. Whether its an average computer user or a highly
skilled computer user they are always confronted with different security risks. These risks
range in danger and should always be dealt with accordingly. Unfortunately not everyone is
aware of the dangers or how to prevent them and this is where most of the issues arise in
information technology (IT). When computer users do not take security into account many issues
can arise from that like system compromises or loss of data and information. This is an obvious
issue that is present with all computer users. This book is intended to educate the average and
experienced user of what kinds of different security practices and standards exist. It will
also cover how to manage security software and updates in order to be as protected as possible
from all of the threats that they face.
