Windows XP Security and Optimization Wiki

It's a common misconception that Windows has to be vulnerable to hackers. It's also a misconception that it needs to be slow. The fact is, if you choose the right software and make the right tweaks, you can have a fast and secure PC.

In this wiki, I've attempted to compile as much information as I can about securing your Windows XP computer. This wiki also contains instructions on how to make your copy of Windows XP run efficiently.

The suggestions contained within this wiki strongly favor free software. Although commercial software may at rare times be more protective, a free solution can often be found that is comparable.

Many of the security suggestions are geared toward Windows XP Professional users, but they will most likely work on Windows XP Home as well.

Secure your Computer

• Get a Firewall
• Get an Antivirus

Optimize your Computer

• Get fast replacement software:

• PDF Documents (Replace Adobe Acrobat)
• Web Browser (Replace Internet Explorer)
• Office Suite (Replace Microsoft Word)
