How we are different

Here is what verified readers have to say on Amazon:
-- "Hands down the best book I have read on the topic. From setting up your home network to tips on creating complex passwords, this book has it covered. In the past I have found computer books intimidating and filled with 'geek speak.' Thankfully, the author kept the technical terminology at a level where your basic level user, like myself, was able to understand... As an added bonus, my husband who actually is computer savvy (unlike myself) was also able to pick up some useful new pointers. Bottom line: I appreciate the bite size chapters and have found them easy to reference back to and feel like I have a better understanding of what I can do to secure my home network." -- C2DUB
-- "I learned alot reading this book and have applied some free security backups to protect my desktop computer. I learned that layers of security are necessary in today's world. This book should be read by everyone who has a computer or smartphone and apply the layers of security that you feel is necessary. It IS the Bible of having safe and secure computers." -- Katy
-- "Best book for family protection. From pornography to monitoring family activities this is made simple and optimally effective." -- Vincent Escandell
