As long as we rely on PCs, there’s a risk that our valuable files, personal information and even money could be stolen. It seems as if every week a government department or other large organisation loses another laptop containing confidential records; identities are stolen; and computer viruses go raging across the internat. In the face of these threats, keeping your identity, bank details and credit card numbers safe is a real challenge.

It’s not all about money, though. Children are far more computer savvy than ever before, and the internet provides a vast amount of useful information for kids. However, the internet also includes websites that will waste the time of young minds and presents opportunities for perverts to corrupt them. Keeping young people safe online is tough.

This 137-page supplement (worth £7.99!) is downloadable FREE when you sign up for a 3 for £1 trial to Computer Shopper, and explains everything you need to know about the threats you face when using a PC both online and offline. We’ll explain how you can protect yourself, your children and your data from thieves, hackers, accidents, fraudsters and other perils. We’ve even devoted a whole chapter to setting up a secure wireless network.

Whether you’re worried about identity theft, viruses or even just a crashing PC, this guide tells you how to reduces the risks and recover your data when disaster strikes.
