I saw an article on the PC Magazine website which might be of use to a wide range of users. They detail how to secure your PC’s at home and when using public venues.
These guidelines were published by the NSA’s Central Security Service.
They are very good, and are the same recommendations being implemented throughout the government.
Worth a look, I’d say. It covers Microsoft, Apple, Linux and Sun’s OS’s – pretty much the full range.
