The CB Awards - Steve Gibson

by ComputerBob

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.
