RE: [PCTECH] Trying again - Windows XPPro "Security/UserSetup" Question(s)

Chuck,

FYI, we mitigate the Administrator privilege exposure through use of 
firewalls, virus scanners, maleware scanners, and group policies.  Also, 
for the handful of users with Administrative rights, we try to train them 
in the DOs and DON'Ts to further reduce exposure.  The TrendMicro 
OfficeScan is nice.  Scans for virus' some spyware/maleware, and includes 
a rudimentary firewall.


Good Luck,


Keith Blazek
MIS Coordinator
