Each year, thousands of harmless PCs suffer the pain and humiliation of buggy Windows installations, bad cable connections, mismanaged system resources, viruses, spam infestations, poor backups and evil hackers. All too often, these downtrodden PCs end up being scrapped before their time by owners who just can't care for them any longer. The real travesty is that with a little love, these wounded PCs could become useful members of society again. That's where Leo Laporte's Guide to Safe Computing comes in. Part medical dictionary, part how-to, this book walks users through the symptoms to diagnose and treat the problem.

Leo Laporte's Guide to Safe Computing,
By tomyou "Tom" (Tx.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leo Laporte's Guide to Safe Computing (Kindle Edition)
I bought this book twice and had the same problem: there were many pages where the text would go to the bottom of the page without completing the sentence and would not continue on the next page. The index in the back is useless. I believe there is a problem with the formatting. For the price of this book, this is all unforgivable. I do not recommend this book.
