No, though there is a firewall... A third party firewall will happily inform
you when it's doing it's job as will and IDS if you'd like to invest in one.
I'd recommend at least a third party firewall however.

By internal intrusion you mean someone on your network or someone on your
PC? Both don't come natively with the OS though support mechanisms are in
place to help avoid such from happening. Good usage of the permissions (and
NTFS formatting) will go a long ways at preventing that and the user groups
and various security levels that go along with that are already in place and
ready to use.

You can configure auditing for logon events in Local Security Policy
or at the domain/OU level if that is where auditing is enabled. Then
you need to review your security log via Event Viewer to see who has
accessed your computer either successfully or not. The links below
explain more. --- Steve

Interesting idea. I think it would have been my fault for thinking too deep?
Thinking, I guess, of one able to log on and then edit the logs to say as
they wish for instance. I wasn't thinking simple enough. <g>

Anyhow, if you ever get a minute, ping me off-list if you have time? I'd
appreciate it but have some off-topic questions that I think I've been
meaning to ask for a while.
