Description
Does it seem like your computer is constantly getting bombarded with ads, popups, or scammy emails?
Maybe you suddenly can’t use your PC because of some random screen that
claims you have a bad infection and just pay them some money and they
can have it removed.
Even worse, you start noticing odd charges on your credit card bill
that you know wasn’t made by you (unless you did actually buy that 25th
anniversary edition pet rock – no judgement).
It doesn’t have to be this way!
Most times, many of the bad things mentioned above happen to you
because of actions you take on accident. You think that by clicking on a
button that tells you to “Click here to scan your PC” or receiving a
phone call from Microsoft warning you that you have a virus, that you
are doing the right thing.
But, it’s these exact things that are opening up your systems to the bad guys!
Cyber Security: Beginner’s Training Guide to Online Safety is a course that comes from over
23 years of working with computers and seeing how making some simple
changes can protect you and your PC from potential threats. Whether a
single user, family, or business with hundreds of employees, these
lectures and videos will walk you through step-by-step what to do and
not to do.
Let’s
build a community of users that can learn from each other!
Cyber Security: Beginner’s Training Guide to Online Safety will be updated over time with advice and examples
from you, our users, so that we can all benefit from shared experiences
and grow in the process. Remember, there’s no shame or judgement if you
accidentally ran across something that tricked you into getting
infected or worse. Share your story and we can all benefit from your
knowledge.
CompuTerrors wants your
