Hello,

How do I setup my PC for 100% max security? In oder words, I leave my PC running all the time, how do I set it so others can't use my PC at all? What I mean by no one won't or able to use it unless that have an installation disc.  I already set a password for the Administration in Control Panel.

I went away and left the no compter knowledge responsible for my computer. My computer will be safe. Yeah, right, it wasn't safe. He doesn't know me but I knew he was on it. I found some downloads from him. I didn't tell him that I knew.

Please help me keep my computer safe. That you so much, everyone!avast antivirus and comodo firewall Quote from: computeruler on October 16, 2008, 07:06:10 PM

No one's computer can be 100% safe...from anything...and/or anyone...

You can take preventative steps by doing what Broni suggested.  Make sure your password is known only by you...never write it down.

Make sure your computer is up to date with the latest updates from Microsoft...specifically those that are "critical" and/or "high priority".

Make sure you have a trusted antivirus program installed...as well as an adware/spyware program...and a firewall.  Stay on top of those as well...when it comes to updates and regular scanning intervals.

In addition...if you don't have a router...get one. Most routers provide an additional form of security in the way of a hardware firewall.  It will also come in handy if you plan to network in the future.

Last...but not least...shut your computer off when not in use...and if you want to keep it safe from someone turning it back on and downloading something...simply remove one of the ethernet cables you use and make sure there aren't any spares laying around.

That'll pretty much do it...

Good luck!
