The Stephen Cobb Complete Book of PC and LAN Security by Stephen Cobb Everything microcomputer users need to know to protect their hardware, software, and data BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA -- Computer viruses and security leaks make the news almost every month. Local area networks are particularly vulnerable--in less than one second, a virus can erase megabytes of data and wipe out weeks of work performed by dozens of people. To help personal computer and local Area Network users protect their data and systems from today's most common threats, computer expert Stephen Cobb has compiled this complete guide to PC and LAN security. Cobb takes a realistic approach to this growing problem, explaining the most cost-effective methods for guarding against: ** Hackers and other interlopers ** Viruses, worms, and logic bombs ** Vandals and thieves ** Competitors and industrial spies ** Power failures ** Fires and other catastrophes Throughout, the emphasis is on how to create effective security through careful planning, simple precautions, and user-training as an alternative to purchasing expensive equipment. For PC users and network administrators, this is the best comprehensive book available for improving data security without spending, a fortune.
