British police have announced plans to publish an "online survival guide" in January, which aims to advise online newbies on how best to protect themselves against viruses, hackers and other security problems when they log on to the Internet. Sponsored by the Halifax Bank and Trend Micro, the guide will be published by West Yorkshire Police and is believed to be the first of its kind issued by any police force in the UK. Initially being printed in a 150,000 print run, the plan is to distribute the guide free across Yorkshire, Humberside and North Lincolnshire, although if it is a success, then it may be distributed elsewhere in England.
