NIS is junk. But then, a lot of antivirus software falls into this category.
A general rule is that the more silly gimmicks (safe surf, firewalls,

If a hacker has already had my password for 30 days I don't think changing

Should I upgrade to IE7 or IE8

No.

I find it messes-up running of apps from server shares.

Seems to change the OS in such a way that any app not in C: is regarded as
being downloaded from the Internet.

Returning to Windows 7

Before going anywhere with this I would quiz the client as to WHY he/she

Internet Security measures in XP/SP3

DEP has nothing to do with online transaction security. Its role is to
