| Abstract: | The home computer is quickly evolving from a productivity tool into a digital-lifestyle management hub that is connected globally. Home computer security should be on top of the list of online defenses. The purpose of this study was to show how increase in education and preventive behavior would lower security incidents for home computers. Findings showed the reverse. Increases in education and preventive behaviors increased security incidents. Possible reasons for these phenomena are better recognition of incidents better, more risk taking since more confident in prevention, and greater exposure due to greater interactions.
