Also, always make sure you've got the latest version of Java, since older versions are exploitable.

No problems here, no worries— I use Kubuntu Linux. Every once in a while I boot up to my XP drive, and I’m amazed at all of the security that I had set up, and all of the security updates that have to be done. Good riddance.

Lots of good tools on that page. Many of them are either Linux only, or best used with Linux. There are very few(useful) security tools that run on Windows.

I'm now running the full AVG Internet Security suite, so if there are viruses, trojans and spyware out there it stomps them out in short order.

Amazing XP Tools to Arm your PC from Hackers

Well, I suppose I deserve this.
For chuckling at the keyboard of my XP machine...reading
of all the sorrows of folks "up-grading" to Vista machines.
And even retro-migrating to XP.

I should have realized those news reports were also a red-letter
message to hackers:
"Don't waste time with Vista: go after XP machines even harder!!!"

. . . Insisted they give it to me with XP-P instead of VISTA 32 BIT.

They said they had no XP-P 64 BIT to load it with. So, will likely get it set up and going and then upgrade to XP-P 64 BIT.

My concern is what ANTIVIRUS etc. to use.

Evidently SYSTEM MECH 7 is not viable

I refuse to let Norton near any of my systems ever again.

Not thrilled with McAffee.

Is there anything solid I could use?

I am not real keen on Microslop’s FIX AND PROTECT EVERYTHING software—ONE CARE or whatever it’s called . . . I don’t trust Microslop any further than I could throw Seattle.

Am planning to load UBUNTU soonish, too. BTW, what’s the difference between UBUNTU AND KUBUNTU? I read the sites for each and still couldn’t discern what the big difference was.

3D-Traceroute : Enhancement for the Tracert command.

Can I use this to find where a hacker/spyware/trojan-maker scum lives and beat the holy hell out of him?!
