PC Security and Gmail

Many people, especially the internet savvy, already know the basics to PC security. If your not one of those people, or if you just want to review the basics, I've found a great website that details the basic information of computer security. I found the article on Digg, but it originates from www.itsecurity.com. The article goes in depth and covers almost every element of basic PC security.

Check out "The 20 Minute Guide to PC Security".

Second, if you are in need of a new e-mail service or are flat out tired of the one you have, then Gmail may be for you. Compared to most mainstream webmail services, Gmail is superior in numerous areas, especially storage size and spam protection. Most of all, it is free. The highlights of the service as advertised on their website include:

  • Free
  • Over 2,600 megabytes of storage
  • Superior spam protection
  • Fully supports all major browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Safari...)
  • Integrated chat
  • Free forwarding and POP3
  • Supports 40 languages
Tired of spam? Tired of paying for an overpriced webmail service? Want more storage? If so, you can now sign up for Gmail for free. It was released to the public about a week ago.

Google inches closer to "perfection" everyday.
