The original Guide to Computer Security was produced by the Newgon.com Support Team after consultation with the Newgon.com forum community in 2008. It explained how you could protect data stored on your hard drive and stay anonymous on the internet. The guide may be of interest to people who wish to protect their anonymity and data from adversaries. An updated version is currently under development.
