Very Helpful Indeed!
Apparently, a "reader" from Fort Lauderdale, Florida is yet another bitter and out-of-work IT person. This book was excellent and is a crucial reference for the average home pc user like myself. Thirteen 5-star reviews are RIGHT-ON!!!

Clearly Written PC Disaster Prevention
I must say that I have never enjoyed reading a technical book as much as this one. I read it cover to cover, every word. I couldn't believe how well the author took a complicated technical subject and explained it so clearly in everyday terms that just about anybody could understand. I'm sure that I will refer to it over and again. The author is to be congratulated on a very fine writing job. I wish that all technical authors could write this clearly. I look forward to future publications.and articles from this author. I will recommend this book to everyone. Keep up the good work.

Delivers everything it promised and a lot more
As a previous reviewer mentioned, I really love the emphasis this book provides on disaster prevention. It taught me what disaster prevention products (hardware and software) to purchase, and how to install and configure them for maximum protection against hackers, spyware, and viruses. I've learned so much from this book that I would have to write a much longer review to truly do it justice. Best of all, the author has a companion web site that provides additional valuable information, and the author is accessible through his web site. The author also writes a monthly column, Defensive Computing, in Smart Computing magazine that ads new insights to the subject of defensive computing, which, by the way would have been a better title for this book.
