It's not the computer. The hacker's first target is YOU! A dirty little secret that vendors don't want you to know is that good computer security doesn't cost a thing. Any solution you can buy is guaranteed to fail. Malicious hackers use this fact to their advantage. Real security is gained by understanding the enemy's tactics and offsetting them with appropriate and consistently applied Windows settings. These expert authors realize that an effective strategy is two parts technology and one part psychology. Along with learning about Vista's new security features (such as UAC, integrity controls, BitLocker, Protected Mode, and IIS 7), learn common-sense recommendations that will immediately provide reliable value. Vista Security Tips Have a healthy sense of paranoia Understand and apply the basics properly Use longer passwords. No, longer than that Use admin privilege very sparingly Don't believe Internet Explorer Protected Mode will stop all attacks Don't believe DEP can stop all attacks Don't believe any technology can stop all attacks
