Conclusion

To all interested/reading:

I think this is it guys, I know of NO MORE to secure a Windows System... & again - IF any of you have points to add (OR, alternate tools to use in lieu of those I posted)?

Please - DO, do so!

(However, I only ask that you keep it @ a technical computer security level (per my 1st initial post here's "P.S." section @ its termination)).



* ENJOY A FASTER & SAFER Windows based system of modern variety (2000/XP/Server 2003 & even VISTA) online today (especially TODAY!)...

P.S.=> In other words, please - no "grammar & spelling" English "writing style" critiques, as they do NOT help to secure a system further... not even if you possess a PhD in the English language (as this is NOT 'english class' & that does not help secure a system better).

I did try to keep it as SHORT as possible, & to have folks use the CIS Tool to help make it easier + more fun.

HOWEVER, @ times, the material is complex & I could not "shorten/condense it" anymore w/ out losing critical details & such!

Please bear with that much, & gain by this thread by getting those 90++ scores on CIS Tool, surfing safely & F A S T E R online as a bonus once you apply the points I layered ontop of CIS Tool's guidance points (based on "industry best practices" & such)... thanks! apk
