[comp]Windows people question. HElp plz[views:2051][posts:9]_________________________________ [Dec 29,2007 4:01pm - sxealex ""] My friends sister wants her comp reinstalled but doesnt want ubuntu... so whatever ill put XP on it but I was wondering if there was a method you guys used to make it secure like linux. As in can you make the root user secure? Can you do other shit? I was hoping for some commands more than software but I'll take either for a spyware proof xp(if its possible). A quick solution would be best. Or if you have a link to a guide google searches all tell me to put mcaffe and other spyware apps. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 29,2007 4:44pm - the_reverend ""] install AVG or if she has comcast, install macafee. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 29,2007 6:45pm - the_reverend ""] delete the guest account |
| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 29,2007 7:32pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I disable all other accounts, ditch the default administrative shares, turn off drive sharing as well as ALL unneeded system services. There's a bunch of other stuff I usually follow on a checklist I made but I don't have it with me at the moment. |
