I don't disagree, but the machines are there... in the
meantime, I would say to do what you can to lock them down.

Not
to beat a point into the ground or wave MS's flag, but that's why win9.x
is a HOME OS, while NT and W2K are business OS's. There is no and has never
has been any illusion of security involved with the Win9.x OS and that
includes ME.

While they may not be the highest in security, there are
things that can be done. I know that if you use the Windows update,
there are security updates for both OSes. Also, there are updates for
IE that are security updates as well. You should also probably disable
the file & print sharing for WinXX as well.

Format. Unless you install third party apps (Zone
Alarm, Tiny Personal Firewall etc), there's nothing I've found from MS
that will help secure 9x.
Does
Microsoft also supply patches for win9x and ME machines? I have a
few of these machines on my network and I need to know what to do to
keep them secure. Well.... as secure as can be with Win9x that
is. I use the hfnetchk for patches on my 2k and nt machines, but
this does not seem to work with 9x. I have gotten all of the
updates from windowsupdate.microsoft.com for the 9x machines. Is
there anything else that I need to do with them?
Thanks.
