[QUOTE="LDogg, post: 798955, member: 72150"] I agree that it's nicer when all the layers come out of the box. With locking down windows from my experience it's best to go the route of using Firewall rules to restrict access from unauthorised software, malware & other(s). Additional usage an Anti-exes and AV Firewalls such as Zonealarm or Comodo FW can add a detrimental effect on Windows security. Linux security wise out of the box is more powerful than Linux, on the flip side of the coin not many virus authors target Linux compared to Windows designated OS'. ~LDogg [/QUOTE]
