Have You Locked the Castle Gate?: Home and Small Business Computer Security Review by Joanna Daneman
Great intro to computer security--recommended
Not a techy-geeky type? When someone says "Linux" do you think of a Charles Schulz character with a security blanket? If that's you, you may profit from Brian Shea's excellent introduction to computer security.
Shea uses the same metaphor we use at home to explain security to the novice computer user--a home or a castle, with doors, windows and locks. Viewing security the way you view locking up a house is helpful to visualize the concepts of firewalls.
In addition, there is a fine chapter on how to set up your email accounts to avoid spam and how to get rid of spam (not easy, admittedly) coming in existing accounts.
Highly recommended for the average computer user.
