Computer Security for Poker Players (videos)
Here's my series on Computer Security for Poker Players. I try to cover every route that could lead to hacking. I hope some people learn from this. My hope is that people follow the advice in these videos so we can finally end all of the "zomg I got hacked" and "i got a virus" threads. I will go so far as to say that if you follow my advice the chance of getting infected with malware or hacked is as close to zero as reasonably possible.
These are the cliff's notes to making yourself more secure online. I hope it generates some interesting discussion.
