When I first read Firefox and Thunderbird Garage (The Garage Series) I realised that this book is perfect for everyone having trouble with Malware and Virii. Most novice users should grab this book and install these applications to replace IE and Outlook. All advanced users should buy this book and give it to all those novice users you end up helping with their PC.
