Microsoft Security Tools and Tips: Running Windows XP Safely in the Classroom

  • David Norris, Productivity Advisor , Microsoft Public Sector

Please join David Norris, a Productivity Advisor with Microsoft Corporation, to discover the latest security enhancements for Windows XP. During this session we will explore the additional security features for Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6 provided by Service Pack 2. Attendees will learn to leverage new tools such as Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) and the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to protect students from the potential dangers of working in a connected classroom. We will also discuss how the new Shared Computer Toolkit, a free download, helps make shared lab, classroom or library computers more reliable, secure and less time-consuming to maintain.

As a courtesy to other conference participants we ask that all cell phones and pager sounds be turned off during the sessions.
