I was recently introduced to the web site http://onguardonline.gov/ ,
which is a site paid for by US Tax Dollars and designed to make it
easier for the "average joe" to learn and understand how to protect
themselves online. I tried their "Spyware Test"
http://onguardonline.gov/quiz/spyware_quiz.html and became somewhat
impressed with it after second time through - once with all right
answers and once with all wrong answers - the one thing I would change
is to not be so obvious in some of the wrong answers. I thought the
correct information was very useful when the question was answered
wrong.

I think a thorough examination of http://onguardonline.gov/ would be
time well spent for almost anyone interested in personal security
online.

YMMV
