HOW DO I PROTECT OTHER USERS?

Hi This is a new post. Can anyone help me?
I've recenly completed a vicious battle with cool web search trojan and than Gaobot worm

I've got every shield that I think I can have on my computer ex:

SpywareBlaster ,SpyGaurd ,ie spyad, Ad-ware 6.0 and Spybot

My question is ...After all this work that I've done to secure my computer..I want to set up another user...Will they be protected by all that I've installed. or will I have to do something complex .

I just don't want to take any chances

Thank You

First: Posting using Caps does NOT make someone respond quicker
Secondly: Personally i find it quite rude

as for your question, most programs (including spyware blaster) have protection for alot of "Per User" settings, so you will probly have 2 install it on the other user accounts

Please refrain from using extensive caps, as it really doesnt get anyones attention any faster

 

I split off some quarreling.

MCT, if the caps annoy you I would appreciate you ignoring the posts.
Now if you both could try and get along...

Thanks for understanding,

Pieter

 

I meant the whole thread. all the way back to the main page


I have some other questions but i feel like a new post would be appropriate

Thank you Admin,

O.K. I just did'nt want my name associated with something as offensive as cap letters

BUT,now that MCT pointed that out ..It is kinda of annoying scolling down thru there and seeing that each time. hopefully it will drift off to the end of the treads.

Thank You again Admin,

Rather than carry on the off-topic part of this here, I've posted some thoughts, comments, and suggestions of my own in General Topics, here

 

I don't know what else is going on in this thread or what might have preceeded it (although I'll observe that as always LowWaterMark's comments are well worth considering in future postings) but in response to the first post and question I see in this thread:

Go to the link I've posted below for advice on preventative measures that may be taken against future spyware infestations. While having programs that address these issues is of course advisable, programs like the excellent SpywareBlaster for example inevitably rely on updates to keep current with new spyware techniques. For a truly proactive defense, one must also look to the user's practices, the browser used and whether its security settings are tight enough to prevent an unauthorized download of unwanted programs when just surfing the web (aka "spyware or malware 'driveby' installations".)

In addition, since there are various exploits out in circulation that take advantage of known vulnerabilities in the Internet Explorer browser and MS' Java Vitual Machine, another way to protect oneself is to make sure your system is updated with all critical updates. Using the Windows Update site is an easy way to accomplish this. (Note: Microsoft's Windows Update site requires ActiveX to scan your PC to see what updates are needed. So IE is required to use that site and one can simply put the site in IE's trusted zone so you can use it. I mention this since it's recommended not to have ActiveX fully enabled in IE's Internet Zone as you will note if you read the link I posted above.)

 

Well thank you sig,

I appreciate the input.I will check that site out. and I appreciate how you,sort of,read into my initial question...even though not directly linked you could tell that,that was my main concern as well as interest.

Thank You Again.

P.S. Thank you to all that have replied to this tread
I hope this is more appropriate. I just like to be a little to creative at times.
