The Internet has been part of our lives for many years. From a new and strange entity, which seemed unfamiliar to many at first, it has managed to become an essential means of communication and information for a large number of professionals, while simultaneously serving as a great medium for entertainment.

This book is the golden guide to connecting to the Internet, especially for the average user and beginners. It is aimed at anyone who wants to achieve a seamless Internet connection without needing to hold a master's degree in Computer Science. Special emphasis is placed on simple language, avoiding, as much as possible, the use of specialized terminology.

Thanks to the rich illustrations and the step-by-step approach, the reader can, without any external help, accomplish things that until now seemed incredible to achieve alone. It would be advisable, for the reader's convenience, to read the book next to the computer so that they can apply the practical instructions provided.

Even if something goes wrong, we can refer to the last pages of the book where immediate solutions are provided for the most common problems encountered when connecting to the Internet. Furthermore, this book includes an extensive description of the usage of the two most popular programs on the Internet: Internet Explorer and Outlook. These chapters will be very useful for anyone wanting to take the ECDL diploma exams (module 7).

The structure of the book is mostly in the form of questions and answers, thus making the reader's engagement with the topic more direct and allowing them to refer to any question that concerns them at any time. The explanatory photographs, on the other hand, assist in the perfect understanding of theory, even if we do not have a computer.

On the pages of this book, we will learn:

• how to establish a simple connection to the Internet,
• how to share the Internet among multiple computers on a network,
• how to surf the WEB,
• how to protect ourselves from viruses,
• tips on how to choose the right computer and its peripherals,
