Can anyone recommend a site, or sites, which will take a relatively-
new- to - computing friend of mine (they are familiar with working in a
Windows environment, but not with PC configuration issues) from a point
of no knowledge of PC security, to a position where they have Zone Alarm
and AtGuard configured, for a standalone PC using dial-up, to save me
the bother of trying to do so at a distance, via e-mail?

Thanks.
