How to Keep XP Secure
This is a great blog post that I just read about how to keep your windows XP installation running smooth, since those of you who are reading this will most likely be using XP (55% of my visitors). Only 10% of you are using vista (hopefully you will learn). Luckily, linux weighs in at 12% and beats out vista (I am so proud of my viewers). As long as I am talking stats, I am also proud of you because Firefox beats out IE 45%-37%.
Anyways, this post details almost verbatim the advice I give to people trying to keep their computers up to date, with a few caveats. I don’t recommend backing up to an external hard drive, mozy home backup is far better when you have a broadband connection since it backs up automatically and off site. Mozy is the only thing that keeps windows running in my house (otherwise I have no reason not to be all linux). I also have a password set on my computer, but that is because I want to be able to get in remotely. Either way, the post has some good advice in it.
