[QUOTE="Nico@FMA, post: 175204, member: 8154"] Absolutely great guide + gazillion rep. There is however one issue with live.com and the passwords, last year i was at the [URL='https://www.ncsc.nl']NCSC Convention [/URL]which is a convention hosted by the Netherlands Cyber Security Centrum and they did show that Windows OS can be hacked within 60 seconds due to all the info people have stored in their live account. Live likes to synchronize things with your PC and will fetch the status and health info from the local live applications. And as you guessed your account credentials and network pass is part of the info being send to live.com and this exploit is being used VERY often. So it was said that live.com is by far the weakest link to your average security. and therefor i would recommend Gmail instead of live.com But thats me. Anyway great guide buddy. [/QUOTE]
