As editor of TechTarget's Expert Answer Center, I'd like to make you aware of the site, which features a different featured expert every two weeks. Today marks the start of Kevin Beaver's second week. Kevin is ready and waiting to answer your queries on viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware and other
baddies that can affect your systems.
Enter the beauty of the Expert Answer Center: Ask your question today, get your answer tomorrow. During the next week, Kevin will answer questions every day, which means that if you ask your question today, an answer will most likely be posted tomorrow. Where else can you have that immediate resolution to your malware problems? Of course, not all questions asked can be answered. If you want to give
your query a better chance of being posted on the site, include as many details as possible.
Kevin's specialties include network and wireless network security, information security assessments and incident response, so he can help you with your toughest security-related questions. Kevin's only taking questions through this Friday, so get asking!
Another charm of the Expert Answer Center is our blog feature. Kevin has been posting daily blog entries, to which you can reply if the mood strikes you.
Upcoming topics of the Expert Answer Center include enterprise messaging management and careers in software development. Take a look at our topics page for links to ask your questions and for the dates our experts will be on call. If you ask your question now, you'll be among the first to receive a response when these experts step up to the plate.
Speaking of Windows security, do you know about TechTarget's newest site, SearchWindowsSecurity.com? Learn all you need to know to beef up your Windows systems with tips, articles and answers from the site's own panel of experts.
See you soon on the Expert Answer Center,
--Dana

Dear Jeremy,
How do I set up a security rights policy where the power user is allowed to install software from our server only? They should not be able to install software off the Net, floppy or a CDROM drive.

| Tip of the Week: |
