Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Ars Technica has an excellent article up on some basic practices one can follow to secure one’s computer, whether said computer is running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X.

I think I might format this one for printing and hand it out to everyone who asks me for computer-related assistance from now on; in this digital age, if you don’t know at least these “ground rule” basics about securing your computer, you really don’t deserve to be using one in the first place.
