While Wind0ws Vista may be M$'s most secure operating system ever, it's far from completely secure. In its fresh-from-the-box configuration, Vista still leaves a chance for your personal data to leak out to the Web through Wind0ws Firewall, or for some nefarious bot to tweak your browser settings without your knowing. But by making a few judicious changes using the security tools within Wind0ws Vista--and in some cases by adding a few pieces of free software--you can lock down your operating system like a pro.
