Back in August, 2002, Carl Siechert and I put the finishing touches on Microsoft Windows Security Inside Out for Windows XP and Windows 2000. It’s a big, fat book, encompassing more than 800 pages of fairly technical material aimed at helping ordinary users of Microsoft operating systems break through the haze of misinformation, myth, and technobabble that defines most of the currently available information about Windows security. As it turns out, we may have been a bit ahead of the curve. One year ahead, to be precise.
In the wake of Blaster and Sobig.F, I decided to adapt some of the material from that big security book and publish it as a short, easy-to-follow preventive program. The results are posted at my Web site: Protect Your PC – A Four-Step Program
I hope you find it useful.
