Colarik’s advice is pretty sensible and presented in as nontechnical a manner as possible. I don’t think anyone can quarrel about the proferred advice. Though I’m a little dubious of “Executive” in the book’s title. Perhaps he’s trying to appeal to the ego of the reader. Or perhaps it’s just a way to underline that this is not a specialised technical book.
There are explanations of various types of attacks that your computer might meet. And protective, largely preventive countermeasures on your part. For this, the best advice might be to install an antivirus scanner and regularly run it. Along with having it connect to its vendor’s website, to download the latest virus signatures. Another good advice is to consider running a firewall. These days, you might not even need a dedicated device. Software firewalls are now quite refined.
