Hi all, I am going to give a little class on pc security for people at my church. I am by no means an expert on this, but I see so many things that need changing whenever I do something for so many people.
I would like to get some ideas from you all on what I should cover. Off the top of my head, I see (in no particular order): 1) Discussion of why they need to secure their pc - trojans, viruses, adware, malware, etc. 2) Antivirus - What are some of the recommended free/paid versions? I know many hear do not like NAV, but I have had no problems. I usually recommend NAV. 3) Anti spyware - Gonna recommend AdAware, Spybot, and MS Defender for the free versions, and Spysweeper for the paid version. 4) Broadband - why you need a router. Gonna recommend the Linksys WRT54G. 5) Why you need a software firewall. Kerio for the free version. Also Kerio for the paid version. 6) Passwords - strength of passwords. 7) Wireless network security. 8) Using Firefox. 9) Safe surfing. 10) Safe email habits. 11) Phishing stuff. 12) Windows update. 13) Installed software updates Anyone have any additions/changes? Thanks, Bobby
