Not to beat a point into the ground or wave MS's flag, but that's why win9.x is a HOME OS, while NT and W2K are business OS's. There is no and has never has been any illusion of security involved with the Win9.x OS and that includes ME.     Greg -----Original Message----- From: Kelly Borndale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 5:57 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: securing older machines While they may not be the highest in security, there are things that can be done.  I know that if you use the Windows update, there are security updates for both OSes.  Also, there are updates for IE that are security updates as well.  You should also probably disable the file & print sharing for WinXX as well.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ K.Borndale   [EMAIL PROTECTED] -home email ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 5:36 PM Subject: RE: securing older machines Format. Unless you install third party apps (Zone Alarm, Tiny Personal Firewall etc), there's nothing I've found from MS that will help secure 9x. -----Original Message----- From: Don Collier (Intermap Denver) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 12:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: securing older machines Does Microsoft also supply patches for win9x and ME machines?  I have a few of these machines on my network and I need to know what to do to keep them secure.  Well.... as secure as can be with Win9x that is.  I use the hfnetchk for patches on my 2k and nt machines, but this does not seem to work with 9x.  I have gotten all of the updates from windowsupdate.microsoft.com for the 9x machines.  Is there anything else that I need to do with them?  Thanks. _________________________________ Don Collier Network Administrator Intermap Technologies Inc.
