* Windows Updater and Windows Security Center (including Windows firewall) are not covered here. Windows Firewall is problematic. Use a hardware firewall wired between your PC and your Internet source.* Although it is important to keep your Windows installation up to date, Auto Update may install useless annoyances like WGA and Microsoft spyware such as that which is built into the new Windows Media Player. It is recommended that you review and install all updates manually.== Windows Registry Backup and Change Tracking ==== Traffic Monitoring ==There's simply so much spyware and backdoor trojans, and so on out there that no tool is going to be able to detect them all.
