PC Security Handbook Now Available

By on September 9, 2009 (54 Comments)

The PC security handbook is now available. This handbook is designed to help you find ways to protect your Windows XP/Vista/7 PC and ensure your data is safe.

The purpose of this book is not to define the ultimate solution; its purpose is to give you simple, unbiased advice on what I’ve found to be the best options out there. In this handbook, I only give advice and share programs that I’ve used for at least a year. Some programs seem good when you first use them, but quickly annoy you or slow down your PC.

    Hey, I have a suggestion. What if you make PC Registry Handbook. It doesn’t contains a complete registry guide, but just tips and tricks such as “Enable fade or scroll-down animation menus”, “Add CMD Prompt Here to context menus” and etc. It would be great, I think.
