PC Self Defence

The internet is a dangeous place nowadays - full of worms, trojans and other malicious programs trying to steal your money and wreck your computer.

This workshop is a not-too-technical guide to keeping the nasties off PCs. Learners get to install and run several programs which will clean their PCs of infections and help keep them off in the future. This course is particularly suitable for people who sometimes have to work from home and/or get no technical support.

Learner skills pre-requisites:

  • No technical knowledge is required - just basic PC skills and a determination to thwart the spammers and scammers that are out to get you.

Student comment

“A great course for anyone who’s worried about the nasty things that can happen to your computer and how to avoid them ruining your life.”
