Personal privacy and security on your PC are the topics addressed by this timely guide. PC Confidential reveals to the average user the security secrets the experts already know and shows users how to protect their computer files from unwanted intruders. This book is written for the average PC user — not for the network administrator, software guru, or hacker. Anyone who knows how to work in Windows knows enough to benefit from this book. It is for the PC user who wants to protect his or her privacy on a desktop or notebook computer that can be easily accessed by others at home or at work. Everyone who uses a PC should know how the computer keeps track of their data (even when it has been deleted), where they've been on the Internet, when and how long they've been working, and much more.
