The best computer security system these days is right between your ears. We have all heard of or have experienced - viruses, worms,
Trojans ... Spyware & malware & scams ... Oh, my. There are many good tools to use in creating a security net on your system, both
free and for purchase or subscription. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware programs are all parts of our arsenal. These are part of
good computer security. Regardless of what programs you use, there are also some simple, common sense, rules of thumb to consider
whenever you log on. Bring your questions for a Q&A session at the end of Jolyn's talk. If you plan to attend, please reply to
