My book available in PDF
I am delighted to let you know that my book - Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Security Spam, Spyware and Viruses - is now available in PDF, but there’s a small catch. You get it on CD when you buy Leo’s new book Leo Laporte’s Guide to Safe Computing.
I don’t see it on Amazon yet, but I am told it will be on the market any day now.

I’ve been un-loyal Andy!!! I haven’t picked up the book yet.
I don’t think it’s a necessity for me, but I know a few people who should read it, so I’ll pick it up for that reason, if nothing else…
Does the PDF version come on a CD in the paperback version of yours?

A misconception a few people hold, sword. There’s actually a lot of material in there you’ll find interesting and useful. Not just for beginners. I mde sure there’s lots of intermediate to advanced material in there. (ie how to use Hijack This and diagnose a log to remove a browser hijack) The PDF version does not come in the paperback version. Adding CDs costs $ so to keep the price down the publsiher left it out. Leo’s book is priced higher, so it got a CD.

Andy,
Any chance that you could offer the pdf file on here for download (at a cost of course). I guess probably not cause of deals with the publisher and also to limit the distribution…

Sand:
A good idea, and something that I can investigate. Though it can be complicated. However I understand that Que , may have a service where you can buy the book via PDF. I’ll ask and if so I’ll let everyone know.
best,
Andy
