[OPLINTECH] spyware & malware

[Philip Robinette]

Greetings Chris,

Jim Kenzig posted a useful summary of techniques in this forum on June 30.  I would only add that XP Service Pack 2 has added several security features, including the default-on Windows Firewall, the Internet Explorer Add-ons Manager, and Data Execution Prevention.  And that no one should browse the Internet as a user with administrative privileges.

  Hello,

  We are planning an XP & Office 2003 roll out to replace NT 4.0 and Office 2000 on our 350+ staff workstations.  We have Windows 2003 on our server.  Several of our staff workstation's browsers (IE) have been hijacked with malware.  How are you preventing spyware at your locations?  What tools are you using?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks,

  ChrisZ
