Inside Track
There are some useful software products on the market which can assist you in Analysing, cleaning, securing and generally tightening up your PC and Server secuirty.
Some products I have found useful :-
Spybot - Search and Destroy -
www.safer-networking.org
Sygate Personal Firewall (for those not running the XP firewall)-
www.sygate.com
Symantec System Works 2005
www.symantec.com actually does quite
a good job of cleaning up your PC and protecting you from virus
threats...you should be able to get it for around £35-£45.
(standard vs. Pro Edition). If you are interested in purchasing any
software for more than 5 users then I am usually able to secure a
discount on the list price.
