Now, consumers can learn to protect themselves from more than 20 types of computer scams with "The Real Safety Guide to Beating Cybercrime."

"The best defense against cybercrime is knowing how to recognize and avoid possible threats," said Adams.

We wrote this guide to educate Internet users and help them stay safe on online."
