[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 798961"] Attempting to fully secure windows is largest a waste of time IMO. There are too many leaks to plug and as such, I feel Windows use should only be in cases where the alternatives won't serve the purpose. In the case of Gamers, not much choice other than Windows. As such, those gaming rigs should be considered compromised devices and isolated accordingly from the network to eliminate lateral movement from Windows machines within the network. (VLAN, etc) I always consider myself working on Windows systems to be operating in a compromised environment, regardless of security precautions. [/QUOTE]
