UK Internet Virus Alert Service launched

The UK government has launched a new security service intended to allow wide access of security alerts for the UK general public.

IT Security Awareness for Everyone declares that ITsafe will provide:

1. A website that gives advice on keeping your computer safe, including a glossary in plain English to help you understand the technical terms used.

2. A low-volume Alerting Service which will warn you of the most serious risks that might affect you when you use your computer.

The website is aimed at general users who probable do';t have good tech knowledge, who can then be alerted via e-mail or mobile alerts if subscribed, or else access information on dealing with high risk threats.

The site will use information provided by the National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Center (NISCC).
