All: My decade long winning streak with Symantec Corporate Edition has come to an end. Restricting user access and SAV worked so well for so long I began to take it for granted...
Now, I'm working in environments that won't let me restrict user access. With users running as Admins on their local machines and the new generation of malware I need to look at new ways of protecting machines so that I'm not spending all my time fixing registry entries and/or re-imaging the same machines every other week. So, my question is, what do /you/ do to keep Windows XP functional and malware free? What AV packages work well for you? Do you use more than one? In my research it looks like /none/ of them are really more than 90% successful at detecting a threat, and then it might even be too late. What else do you do to keep the machine secure other than keeping AV and security patches up to date? I.E. configure the firewall to block certain ports? Restrict download file types? Web proxies? Turn off administrative shares? Any and all ideas welcome.
