By A Customer
This review is from: Protect Your Privacy on the Internet (Paperback)
This has been a boon and an eye-opener. The text and the CD have shown me several programmes which I now use - PGP, TSS, Win-Secure-it. I urge all readers to carefully consider the privacy implications of using the web and email. This is an important resource book
