* Appleman is a well-known, bestselling author of computing titles;
has a great writing style and has valuable input/review on content
from a teen focus group of technology users. * Contains the
fundamentals that every teen should know: emphasizes protection of
computers from viruses, and privacy issues (including identity
theft), not just the usual online security that is hyped by the
media. Emphasizes topics of interest to teens - for example:
security on instant messaging and configuring firewalls for online
gaming. * Unlike other security books written for parents, this
book is written to empower teens to protect themselves and their
computers. It requires no effort on the part of parents beyond
buying the book and handing it to their teens. * Offers practical,
well-researched much needed advice on how to protect teens and
create a more secure home computing environment. (The author's
survey showed over 50% of teens have had a computer virus. A recent
Newsweek article describes how Oberlin college found viruses on 90%
of the Windows machines of incoming freshmen).
