A lot has been written about the recently exploited flaws in Internet Explorer, Microsoft's well-traveled Web browser. (It's used by an estimated 95% of Web surfers.) What's gotten much of the attention have been the recommendations of two security organizations that said people should consider using an alternate browser until Microsoft has plugged all of the holes in IE. Some have gone even
further by suggesting that users swear off of Internet Explorer altogether.
It would be a drastic step for many users, and a potential headache for many administrators. Would you make the switch to Mozilla or Opera or something else? Cast your vote in our new poll: Will you stick with Internet Explorer? And, if you feel inspired to say more on this subject, please click on the Sound Off link below the poll or send an e-mail to me here at SearchWin2000.com.

Dear Jeremy,
At our school we have a number of wireless laptops that can be moved from class to class when needed. We are running Windows 2000 server with Windows XP clients. I would like to be able to stop users of the laptops from running Internet Explorer when needed. Is this possible?

Viruses in the System Volume Information folder
Desktop antivirus programs may detect viruses in the Win XP Windows System Restore directories, but not be able to clean the virus, as these directories are protected by the system. A user faced with such a problem -- an apparently uncleanable virus -- may panic without knowing what the real problem is. Find out how to deal with this situation.

Dear Paul: I have tried to lock down Windows 2000 Pro to prevent users from accessing the Internet. I recently discovered that by utilizing active desktop, users can still access the Internet. How do I prevent active desktop from being used in this manner? Come read Paul Hinsberg's advice. |
