Windows2000 in 2012

In 2012, I'm still using an OS from the last milennium - Windows2000. Windows2000 was introduced in 1999 that seems eons ago in software time.

For all the bad things they say about Microsoft software, Microsoft did it right in Windows2000. Even after more than 10 years.

This is not to say that Windows2000 is secure in today's malware infested web. To enhance Windows2000 security, I use avast! 4.8 Home Edition Free (www.avast.com), Comodo firewall 2.4.18.184 (www.comodo.com), and WinPatrol 17.0.2010 (www.winpatrol.com). These versions are fast in Windows2000 and can be found in their websites or in Filehippo.com.

Process Explorer 11.33 formerly of  Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) now of Microsoft, shows running processes including possible malwares.

I disable Administrator sharing, and run 'Net stop winmgmt' after startup.

Disable all unnecessary services.
