Doug Woodall

No newcomer to Spyware, Doug Woodall has 12 years of experience. He has been online since 1993. Presented with a Commodore 64 for his Birthday in 1983, it didn?t take long for him to become hooked to the online world. There was no Internet then, he says, just Bulletin Board Services. "Today I see a lot of headlines about Identity Theft and I wonder why?" questions Doug. "Education is the key when using the Internet. Your personal information is your property, why give it away to someone who will use it for financial gain?" "The question I get most often is, 'Why is my computer so slow?' You should see the look on their face when I tell them it?s probably Spyware." Doug Woodall has recently put together a Website called SpywareBiz to provide free information and recommended products to combat Spyware. He started SpywareBiz to help educate and protect those who are unaware of the dangers online. A new out of the box computer put online without proper protection can be compromised in less than 20 minutes! He is a member of the IWA (International Webmasters Association) and he also runs a Blog where users can post problems and questions concerning Spyware. Doug's site has already won several awards, including the Elite Learning Fountain Award. Accessibility of information is a important aspect of Doug's Website. His expertise in trouble-shooting Spyware is available at his site, SpywareBiz.com Doug believes education is paramount concerning Spyware. At his site he provides the latest free information and recommended products that he hopes will provide the answers his visitors are looking for.
