Earthlink's Protection Blog

Earthlink has a fairly new "Protection Blog" which I like a lot!

Its mission is to "provide information and tools to enable Internet users to stop online hazards and annoyances and get more out of their Internet experience." Although sanctioned by Earthlink, none of the info goes by Earthlink brass or lawyers before posting.

I particularly like the post "Three Basic Tools", which explains that you need a spam blocking program, antivirus software, and a personal firewall. Some good posts on spyware and it’s removal as well.

I'll be reading this blog. Good common sense, explained in an easy to understand and implement fashion, is pretty rare!
