[SECURITY] Windows Awareness Question






I need a resource to take someone through step by step what they need to
do when they buy a new PC.  It was assembled months ago, it doesn't have
50 patches it needs, and ...

I have been asked for a "Where do we start" article.  When I help
friends out at home, I burn the latest free firewall, free antivirus,
free ad-aware, and free anti-spyware to a CD, load that before
connecting to the network, and then start windowsupdate after everything
else is loaded.

How do you advise users of home systems, and students?

Jim
