The book I read to research this post was Malware Forensics Field Guide For Windows Systems by Eoghan Casey et al which is an excellent book which I bought from kindle. This book looks at the legal aspects mostly according to American law and also looks at the technical aspects of dealing with a virus infestation on either a network or desktop pc. It lists loads of software that can do the various jobs, far too many to list here and looks at doing the basics with some of this software. Eoghan is a bit of a legend in Digital Forensics and I have read quite a lot of books by him. There is also quite a lot of posts on different aspects of digital forensics at my computing blog at http://scratbag.me & my technology blog at http://scratbagroberts.com
If your computer is attacked by malware it's best to analyze it in a live state which means with out re booting it which will often destroy any evidence. Many professionals use MD5 or Memory Digest 5 to copy the hard drive. One problem facing you in this job is there is various types of memory that all need to be copied. Another problem is what you copy it to, in most cases it will be an external hard drive due to the enormous amount of data. Also copying it to writable media like dvdr's takes longer. A good program that will copy a network to another network hard drive is Encase Enterprise. A lot of malware nowadays contains keyloggers to find things like passwords, something to locate credit card numbers & an email address for this information to be sent to. One way you can spot malware is you use a port sniffer like wireshark it will constantly try to access the internet to send its newfound information. This book is nearly 1,000 pages and covers every aspect of malware and I really enjoyed reading it.

Google Nexus 7
The book I read to research this post was A Newbies Guide To Nexus 7 by Minute Help Guides which is fairly short but a very good book which I downloaded from kindle. I have done a couple of posts on the Nexus 7 at my technology blog at
http://scratbagroberts.com
This is my computing blog but I thought this is a relevant subject for this blog too. The Nexus 7 is a digital tablet which is much cheaper than the current leading tablet the iPad by Apple but has a similiar amount of processing power and on the whole does away with some of the more superfluous features like a sim card in favour of wi-fi & bluetooth which it still uses but also is very cheap for a tablet especially with the features it has. It generally needs a wi-fi network to do things like install apps via your computer or a wireless hotpoint. It's worth mentioning Google were giving away $25 away in the form of a voucher if you joined Google Play for you to download apps and I know currently give away 1 paid app free every day. It's worth noting Google remove any apps that get a lot of negative reviews but don't check them as such like Apple do with the Appstore. It's best to check reviews prior to downloading an app to make sure it's value for money.
The Nexus holds a charge for 300 hours, lets you watch 9 hours of video & lets you read a book for 10 hours when fully charged. It has a 7 inch screen measured diagonally. You can watch video in high definition. I noticed in a technology magazine that rated digital tablets it was 2nd behind the iPad and it has the latest form of the Android Operating System 4.1 and as new features are rolled out you can update that via a wireless connection to the internet. This book keeps it simple & I think was a free or very cheap download but I think if you want something more detailed on the Nexus I would recommend the book Google Nexus 7 For Dummies by Dan Gookin.
