The book for teens that every parent should read!      You have been immersed in the technology since preschool. You download music, Google your homework, and constantly IM your friends. You check your email before dinner, tweak your MySpace page, and bypass that hardcopy diary for your own 31337 space in the blogosphere. While you’re doing that, you also need to protect yourself. This book is about keeping safe—protecting your data, your identity, and yourself without giving up all the great stuff the Net puts at your fingertips.      Learn how to       Kill viruses, worms, Trojans, and spyware    Give Spam the curb and smash web bugs    Understand just how public your “private” blogs are    Keep wireless freeloaders off your network    Safeguard your parents’ credit card and financial data    Understand what tools you need and how to tweak them        Linda McCarthy is a Security Architect in the office of the CTO at Symantec. Linda has been in the security field for over a decade, and has broken into systems around the world to show executives how easy it is to break into their networks. Linda has published seven books on computer security, and is the author of IT Security: Risking the Corporation. Linda also received the Woman of Influence Award in 2004 for computer security, a prestigious award given annually to only four women in the world.      A portion of the proceeds from this book have been designated by the author for nonprofit work to educate teens about Internet security.     Acknowledgments   About the Author  Preface   Chapter 1: Know Your Villains   Chapter 2: Drive-By Malicious Code   Chapter 3: Data Grabbers and Dumpers   Chapter 4: Spy vs. Spy   Chapter 5: Giving Spam the Curb    Chapter 6: Pretenders and Pirates   Chapter 7: Phishing for Dollars   Chapter 8: Taming the Cookie Monster   Chapter 9: Safe Cyber-Shopping   Chapter 10: Private Blogs and Public Places   Chapter 11: Any Port in a Storm   Chapter 12: Look Pa, No Strings!
