HUADPE writes "As reported by The McGill Daily there is yet another new way to over-connectedly rant against being over connected. The Anti-social site NOSO encourages you to "create NO connections by scheduling NO events with NO friends." When you sign up, you are assigned a random number in place of a name, and are invited to enter such details as "what you are not interested in, what schools you did not attend, what is not your favourite music, and what professions you do not practice.""

HUADPE writes "I am a technology writer for the McGill Daily, my college paper, and although I've already expounded the virtues of Linux, I am preparing an article on how to lock down a Windows box for general security. McGill provides students with a free copy of Norton Internet Security, but as I have seen on many a cleanup, this is not enough. What do slashdotters recommend as Windows security measures that are both effective and user friendly?

Specific commentary on the following three applications (or others you can think of) would also be useful.

Norton Internet Security

Zone Alarm Firewall

ClamWin AV"
