Free Computer Viruses For Dummies
The one thing about viruses that I've always wanted to know: why do people want to write and propagate virus programs. Surprisingly he does make some comments about virus writers, not to specifically identify them, but to give some history and general comments. I don't know that this was a help, but it's at least interesting.
Beyond viruses, this book also goes into other forms of nasty programs like Trojan Horses, HiJackers (that replace your home page with theirs), worms, Phishing Scams, and Spyware. I'd have liked to have seen just a little more about some of these, such as an evaluation of the anti- software that is available.
Like all the For Dummies books, this is a good introductory book, not the final word. But if you have a computer connected to the web, you'd best be paying at least some attention to Viruses, and this is a good start.

While this book is a very good value with the price, and at 292 pages it is by far worth it. However before reading this book, I did read this one
Computer Security: Keeping Your Computer Safe with Virus Removal too. It is priced a lot lower, and still gives most of the same information.
Both books do a wonderful job discussing the history of computer viruses, how to get them off your computer and how to prevent them from coming back in the future. Guess it just comes down to what you want to pay versus how easy the reading is to understand, and how easy the instructions are to follow.
Both books are easy to read and understand. This one however is a bit wordy, and little more technical. Might be hard to understand for some readers that are a little less "techie".
