    I looked at it thinking it was just going to be another one of those "Get Norton and Zone Alarm an turn on auto updates", but this article was a pleasant surprise :)

    In the "Lock It Down" section, there is total ommision of running as a Limited User rather than an Administrator.

    This is an easy setting to change in XP.

    I found it good, but rather basic in its recommendations. Most of the programs and ideas mentioned are just for basic security. I suppose after hanging out at forums like this one, most other security recommendations seem rather basic and someytimes downright boring. ;)
