Introduction
Windows is the most popular consumer operating system in the world, estimated to being installed on 1.3 billion computers. Besides being the most installed operating system, Windows is also a huge target for malware. Malware and malicious users have been an unfortunate part of the Windows ecosystem since pretty much the beginning.
While malware has been a serious threat in recent years, much of the malware can be prevented from being a concern on your Windows computer. This book will explain the steps you can take to mitigate the threat from malware and malicious users.
