- Anyone who has spent any time with computers…and the web know that for all the amazingness…they give us, they also come with some serious risks.…When I first learned how to use a computer…those risks were more or less confined…to viruses that could infect your computer.…Today viruses have taken a backseat…to more sinister attacks on our online services…and sadly, that means unless we take some precautions…the web can be a dangerous…and unwelcoming place.…Feeling scared?…Well, I'm not here to scare you.…
