How to Avoid Most The Annoying Invasions of Your Personal & Online Privacy.
Written in a conversational style, this book offers practical advice, with step-by-step instructions when appropriate. Author Dan Tynan covers topics that affect readers both online and off- everything from what a web site learns about them when they visit, to which organizations really need to know their social security numbers. Dan quotes sources and provides personal advice to readers about how they can shield themselves from hackers, viruses, spam, and identity theft, as well as telemarketers, junk mailers, medical snoops, and much more. After a brief topic introduction, each chapter presents information in an Annoyance/Fix format.
'Privacy Annoyances' strikes a balance between prevention and after-the-fact solutions for "how-do- I-fix-this" predicaments.
