Os Armor - a must have security software

[Gorstak]

actually, once you enter oobe you can join a domain or workgroup...try googling leaving workgroup and it will appear there is no way to do it. And once you're in the workgroup, you're "sharing resources" with other devices in it. I remember deleting files that later reappeared, and my browser tabs changing by themsleves and my headphone and speaker jacks uplugging and plugging in by themselves, all sort of crap. First I thought it was a glitch, then I suspected malware, and in the end it turned out my neighbours were the culprit with me being in same workgroup with them.

I'd echo Bill's list except for a change on 1st item.

a) Turn off Windows ability to Install Hardware drivers
b) Delay all security and other fixes for 3 days to a week in the meantime searching for problems

Windows Update installing "not ready for prime time" fixes has eaten more IT time than all other OS issues combined .... if there's a problem, can usually find it on Woody Leoard's site within 24 hours,

When I see the pop up that the server has KBs for me to DL, I will follow the links , see what they fix, see if I care, see if I want to hide it (telemetry), see if it's breaking things... and If nothing comes up within a few days I will install it.

I see we are still incapable of staying on topic. I suggest making a thread about the intricacies of workgroups or even just basic networking judging by some of the responses. If you want to continue talking about OSArmor itself (or by extension software like it) by all means PM me.
