I think we could add a few more items to the security section. It’s important to keep in mind that there are several laws (not just best practices) that dictate privacy and security. Thus my recommendation is to change “permissions, privacy and security issues” to “Privacy of Electronic Information – Laws, Regulations and Policies”. I would suggest that we mention these explicitly under “Wy needed”: HIPAA, FERPA, PCI, the Vermont Social Security Number Protection Act (I could provide a few more).

I’d also recommend changing “How to protect your computer from viruses” to “How to protect yourself online” (viruses are no longer the only threat and computers are no longer the only target). We should also be mentioning phishing emails and phishing websites explicitly under “Why needed”. As scary as it sounds, knowing how to distinguish a phishing email and phishing website is more important than knowing how to use an antivirus software. Nowadays, if your computer is infected there is little you can do to clean it, thus we should focus on prevention.

Thank you for putting this together!
