Is there a "best practices" security website for
home/office xp users? More then consumer/user level, but
not really AD or enterprise level ??

OR:What's your favorite XP security tip?

Thanks for the info, I have used the mbsa tool and technet
regularly.

It seems that some non-MS sites offer addtional security
tips that MS doesn't deem necessary.

For instance, many SAs think that the administrator
account should be "renamed" to take away the string
from "brute force" cracks... Yet, I've never seen this
type of comment from within an MS community...

Any comments?

Renaming the built-in Administrator account is, I'd always
thought, standard practice in any environment interested in security.
So I was taught in my very first Microsoft networking class, by
Microsoft certified instructors, many years ago. Has that changed?
