Today at lunch I had a conversation with someone who had just reinstalled Windows on his home computer. Here are five things I told him he should have running:
1. Anti-spyware software. This is no longer optional. Spybot , Microsoft, or Ad-Aware.
2. Anti-virus software. Norton, Authentium, Panda.
3. Firewall. Zone Alarm or Windows XP SP2′s firewall.
4. The latest update to your version of Windows (or Mac OS, or Linux, etc.)
5. A personal backup plan.
Leave me a comment if you want to know more.
