It is with great pleasure that I present a CB Award to Steve Gibson. From the depth and breadth of his
body of work, it is obvious that Steve is extremely intelligent; yet he writes in a very understandable style. I became familiar
with Steve's work back in the late 1980's, when I bought and used his
SpinRite hard drive data recovery software.
SpinRite has long since become an industry standard and a must-have tool for tech support people. Steve's impressive
Web site is a testament to how hard he works. It contains
many pieces of free computer security software that he developed, online security testing software, plus many articles, reviews,
tips, and even multimedia presentations, all designed to help people undertand, use and protect their computers, while asking for
virtually nothing (pun intended) in return. Hundreds of Web sites provide computer security information and tools,
but Steve Gibson's site is one of only a handful of sites that I trust to help me protect my computers.![]()
