Protect your
home computers from attack with this free toolkit:
Microsoft's Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP is a free and
little-known way to protect your family's computers from damage and
unauthorized use.
Don't want your kids to browse the Internet? The Toolkit can restrict
users, on a per-person basis, from accessing Internet Explorer, Firefox,
or other browsers.
With the free User Restrictions tool, you can:
* Restrict access to Windows system utilities
* Prohibit access to important data
* Prevent users from running unauthorized software
* Simplify the start menu
Want to stop your kids from making changes
to menus or the desktop, from installing programs, or allowing malware
to modify critical system files?

With the free Disk Protection tool, you can:
* Protect operating system files
* Clear changes when the computer restarts
* Automate critical and antivirus updates
* Choose to save changes to disk
These tools take advantage of the little-known local Security Policies
available on Windows XP (both Home and Professional versions). Companies
that use a Windows Server can create Group Policies to do the same
thing. But home users or companies that don't have a Server can take
easily take advantage of the local Security Policies with these tools.
Give these free tools a try. But do it NOW, BEFORE damage is done to
your home's computers. Repairing a malware invasion on a PC
can cause dangerous leaks of private information and can render your PC
useless.
Use this toolkit NOW. Before you hand that new
computer to your child. It takes only minutes for an unknowledgeable
person to unintentionally allow a computer to be contaminated by
trojans, worms, or viruses.
