Security: Boost Protection with Sysinternals Tools

Sysinternals will be a familiar name to Windows power users and system administrators. The Sysinternals suite of tools and applications have long been used to plug the gaps in the Windows software environment that Microsoft neglected, allowing users to quickly check the security on their shared network drives and search out hidden rootkits amongst other things. Microsoft liked the tools so much that they actually bought the Sysinternals company a couple of years ago, and now the tools are available via Microsoft TechNet. However, some of the tools can seem at first glance a bit unwieldy and complicated to use, which is why weve brought you this handy guide to securing your system with the Sysinternals security toolkit.
