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.
