Each year, thousands of harmless PCs suffer the pain and humiliation of buggy Windows installations, bad cable connections, mismanaged system resources, viruses, spam infestations, poor backups and evil hackers. All too often, these downtrodden PCs end up being scrapped before their time by owners who just can't care for them any longer. The real travesty is that with a little love, these wounded PCs could become useful members of society again. That's where Leo Laporte's Guide to Safe Computing comes in. Part medical dictionary, part how-to, this book walks users through the symptoms to diagnose and treat the problem.
