GC007 Geek Speak and Computer Security (part 1)

from Geek Counterpoint -- Your antidote to soundbite science! Hosted by Lorne Ipsum

A recent survey has revealed that a significant number of personal computer users is so baffled by computer "geek" jargon that they don't take even simple security precautions in their computer usage. In this week's episode (and a bit more in next week's episode), I try to give everybody a basic grounding in jargon you'll run across in discussions of security threats to your computer usage. Also, please check out the geekcounterpoint.net web site -- I've drawn up a handy reference sheet of all the terms used in this episode and next week's followup episode as well.
