Windows Security

Was just reading over a link from a colleague (thanks Jeff Clark @ West Coast Cable and Networking), and found a great write up I thought I would share with my readers (I said "Jeff you're preachin to the choir."): http://lifehacker.com/5401453/stop-paying-for-windows-security-microsofts-security-tools-are-good-enough

It goes over the default security in Microsoft and covers how a few simple free addons can really lock down your PC (vs buying Norton Internet Security and completely clobbering your PC), which is what I often times have a hard time getting across to my users. This view may not fit into a lot of corporate schemes (this is when a consultant really needs build a complex game plan to keep your network smooth), but it definitely fits in with the desktop gang.

In short - read that article.
