Welcome to the Blind-Computing.com Security page!

The purpose of this page is to provide sources of information for Internet security

Including where to get specific information about virus warnings, hoaxes and more.

Many times, people will post virus information to e-mail lists, and this only serves to panic and confuse those users who are just getting started with computers.

More often than not, warnings posted to general mailing lists turn out to be hoaxes, or misinterpreted information.

Every computer user, blind, or not, is responsible for the security of his or her computer,

And can use the resources on this page to help them stay informed about internet security.
