Buy This Before You Need It
10. März 2005
There's basically only four kinds of things that can go wrong with your PC: lost or stolen, hardware failures, software failures, stolen data. Each of these, however, can really mess up your day.
Each of these however can be not solved but made much better with just a bit of advance planning. Losing your computer and/or crashing the disk drive is easy to fix if you have a backup, or if like Beethoven you remember everything in the manuscript you lost on the train.
Most of this book, however, turns out to be software oriented. It's here that the bad guys can attack your system from afar with virtually no chance of getting caught. Perhaps they just want to screw up your life with a virus they created just for fun. Perhaps they want to send you a never ending stream of advertising, even customized based on keeping a record of what web sites you've visited. But perhaps they also want to capture your credit card number so that they can use it to buy a new computer (to be shipped somewhere in Africa).
The first thing I look for on books like this is CoolWebSearch. If they talk about it, they know whereof they speak. And sure enough CoolWebSearch is discussed on page 231. The book says: "Removing ... can be an extremely complicated process. He'd absolutely right. When one of my companies machines gets one of these, sometimes all I can do is go back to the last system restore file, or even start over with a new version of the operating system.
Invaluable help if you do just a little bit of work in advance.

Good preventative medicine...
16. Mai 2005
When things go wrong with your PC and/or on-line existence, you need quick help in figuring out how to fix it (or how you should have stayed out of it in the first place). Surviving PC Disasters, Mishaps, and Blunders by Jesse M. Torres and Peter Sideris (Paraglyph Press) makes for some pretty interesting reading.
Chapter List: Theft and Loss; Hardware Disasters and Mishaps; Software Disasters and Mishaps; Network Disasters and Mishaps; Wireless Networking; Internet Fraud; Spam; Surviving Viruses; Junkware: Malware, Adware, and Spyware; Email and Other Internet Hazards; Travel Mishaps and Disasters; Power Adapters and Batteries; Backup and Recovery; Digital Lifestyle Hazards; Piracy; Index
Each chapter starts with a list of "disasters to avoid" and "mishaps and blunders to run from". Within each chapter, there are subtopics that will teach you about certain things (like how data theft occurs, how to prevent and detect data theft, etc.). The rest of the chapter is made up of "how do I" questions that address topics within the chapter. Throw in quite a few "horror story" sidebars based on real life experiences from the authors, and you have a pretty readable and practical book.
It was tempting to originally think of this book as a troubleshooting guide... a resource you would turn to when you had to fix something. But really, it's more of a "be prepared" guide. Reading this material *before* you need it will save you a heap of head- and heartaches. This isn't the book that contains a bunch of technical step-by-step instructions on how to get into hardcore repair of your wireless router. It may help you, but it's best to use the material to stay out of trouble in the first place. And the digital lifestyle hazards chapter is *definitely* better to use as preventative medicine. It's easier to reset a PDA than shut down a stalker...
Good material for those who are not uber-geeks who live in cyber-space. It's a book that could easily pay for itself in short order...

the rise of malware
1. März 2005
Looking at the litany of mishaps that could befall your PC, as described by the book, one might wonder if you would buy it in the first place, had you known of these. Realistically, many of us live by, if not through, our PCs. So you still need one.
The authors cover hardware and software problems. Many. Like your disk getting flaky and crashing. Perhaps just a function of time.
But in some ways, the software issues are the ones that have grown, as compared to a book of this ilk written ten years ago. Now, the authors devote a chapter each to the areas of Internet fraud, spam and junkware. A sad sign of our times. The discussion on Internet fraud talks briefly about phishing, amongst other topics. While the advice on avoiding it is good, the chapter perhaps does not give enough space to this hugely growing blight. In the two years to the end of 2004, it rose some 7000%. It has emerged as a danger to many, especially those new to the Internet. Far more dangerous than being spammed by rebates, which is another topic in this chapter, to which a similar amount of space is allocated.
There is also an amusing chapter on various other Internet hazards. In part, it declaims about the possible perils of meeting people online. You know, online dating and all that. And, like, gee, shall I meet him/her in person? In a dark alley, perhaps? Another chapter that speaks to our times.
