Learn More About Computer Security

Were would someone go to learn more about computer security. I have a site were I write about various types of malware, removal, protection, but i feel like I am missing something. So are there any places to learn about computer security. Tried my schools computer all i found on there was a bunch of worms :frowning: I am just curious about the topic I find it very interesting, I know a lot compared to people around my age but I need more information. The fact is once i started learning more I focus more and I a more ā€œimaginativeā€ so any thoughts?

Just Google any question you might have regarding ā€œComputer Security informationā€ and you can read for a lifetime! :wink:

If there is a good site for that then I do not know of itā€¦least not these days.

http://blog.emsisoft.com/ or http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/ will usually post some info on major new viruses but im thinking you want like a full analytical dump like showing all the registry entries and stuff like that and I donā€™t know of a single site that does them all. You can sometimes search for the specific virus name and find a site that covers those details. For example sophos has a pretty decent report on one of the variants of zero access.

Mayhap the best way to learn would be to sign up for an online training programme. This will teach you the signs to look for in a system including the registry and how to safely fix them

You could also attend one of my Avast sponsored Security Seminars. :slight_smile:
