You are the most important link in the protection of your computer

Greetings Citizens of the Realm!
Today the Paladin is working hard behind the scenes to bring to you a quality location on the Internet for the protection of your computer(s). However, as he ponders the nature of the defense of the citizens of the realm, he has an early thought that he wants to plant in your collective head…
In the end, the best weapon against the destructive forces of the Anti-Programmers IS YOU!
Yes, that is true.
No matter what tools and procedures you institute to protect your data and your physical assets, it will ultimately be the level of your understanding of computer-based threats, and the constant vigilance you display, that will be your best defence.
You see, the Anti-Programmers more often than not prey upon the average citizen of the realm’s good nature and curiousity, as well as ignorance (no offense intended) to lure you into performing actions that enable them to gain control of your computing resources.
Your defense against such things goes beyond “do not open any email attachments from people you do not know.” It includes a basic understanding of how your computer performs the tasks that it does, as well as a basic understanding of the Anti-Programmer’s psyche.
The proper defensive tools for your computer system only reach their full protective potential when you, the user, are fully versed with the weapons just mentioned above (a.k.a. knowledge) and exercise a judicious amount of vigilence.
That is enough for you to meditate on for now whilst we here at MyComputerPaladin.com continue our labor of love in creating the resources to arm and train you in this fight against the Anti-Programmers.
