Everyone who owns and/or uses a computer should have this book and the live Knoppix cd that comes with it. It shows you exactly how to use Knoppix to clean up Windows problems, like viruses, root kits, etc. Backup anything from outside the system with no expensive software to buy. Neat trick: cruise the internet from a live cd and avoid the adware, viruses, trojans, etc that plague Windows installations. If I could only have one computer book, this would be it.
