Securing Windows XP, v2
Well this one will be a short one.
Wanted to bring to your attention a program I’m using for a long time on my personal computers and in my work - “Security and Privacy Complete”. I know, I know, name sounds like crappy shareware useless app, but it’s not.
It is an opensource project hosted at SourceForge.net, http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmia/
Now, WARNING. If you are not sure about an option, do NOT check or uncheck it. I could show you the settings I use, but it is possible that in your situation you will need something else. Hover your mouse over the setting, read the balloon tip that shows up, if you understand it - decide on the setting. Google it if you don’t understand it.
First run: There is a button, Create a Backup. USE IT. You can restore from backup later, using the “Restore from backup” button. Do not change any settings before you have created a backup!
