UKITbits - Your source for IT information
Welcome
Hi and welcome to the UKITbits site, a place where you can find all sorts of useful IT information.
If you're looking for help on some of those hard to solve problems or you're after advice on something to do with computers then we're here to help. The site features articles written by the UKITbits team as well as those we've found by other people that we think are worth reading. Although the information has been written by experts the intention is always to make them easy to understand.
The site is growing all the time so be sure to pop back regularly. Alternatively, join our email newsletter and we'll tell you when we add or change anything.
Computer Security
This is the area that's got everyone hot under the collar these days. What you really need is good, practical advice that's easy to follow and that will help you to use your computer safely, particularly on line. That's what we've tried to produce here. You can find general information on virus protection, firewalls, passwords and other computer security in our Security section. For information specific to security on Wireless Networks then we've got a whole page on that in our Wireless section.
Don't believe everything you hear
Some of the stuff we read about wireless security is, to put it frankly, pretty scary. Every day we see articles telling people about "simple" steps they can take to make their wireless network more secure, but a lot of it won't do any good. Before you throw up your hands in horror though we have some good news. You can improve the security of your wireless network easily. We show you how in our Wireless Security Guide and we tell you why some of the stuff you'll read elsewhere is a waste of time.
