Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Everyone who uses a computer has heard of Internet security issues such as viruses, e-mail scams, and hacker attacks. Many computer users don't see the need for security or feel helpless in the face of hacker attacks. Both of these assumptions are false as will be discussed in this paper. This paper is written for non-technical computer users who need to know the security risks of the Internet and how to protect their important digital information.
