In fact, I constantly test, examine, and ask friends who have expertise in areas that I do not to examine my computers and network. That is not my primary use for computers, but I do not trust, I verify, re-verify, and re-verify. I do trust some sources, but I verify. Even if you are not an expert in some area of computer knowledge, you do have friends who have used these programs and have experiences good and bad. You can learn from your friends, their experiences; that is much better than chance in choosing software. There are online forums like Lockergnome, Protonic, Speedguide, Tek-Tips, Spyware Info, and Wilderssecurity to name a few. These site and others like them have folk with experience with software and solutions.
