This practical guide on cyber safety and privacy is designed for a non-technical audience, providing essential steps to protect yourself without judgment or excessive jargon. Many people are unaware of their computer's security status, and while technology has transformed our lives, understanding the associated risks is crucial. Protecting your computer is akin to defending a medieval castle—effective yet not overly complex. This guide focuses on safeguarding against common hackers and mass surveillance rather than targeted attacks. It emphasizes straightforward actions everyone should take to secure their computers, similar to everyday safety measures like wearing seat belts or installing smoke alarms. The revised fourth edition offers over 170 tips with step-by-step instructions and visuals, ensuring maximum benefit with minimal effort. Key updates include information for Windows 10, Mac OS Catalina, iOS 13, and Android 10, along with recommendations for the best apps and services. Readers will learn how to create strong passwords, browse the web safely, protect their privacy, shop securely online, defend against identity theft, and enhance smartphone security. The book also covers safeguarding children online, blocking tracking ads, sending files securely, setting up secure home networks, and managing social media sharing. Ideal for anyone using computers and mobile devices who seeks practical guidance on personal security
