Bullet Proofing Your Machine

Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to familiarize the student with some of the things that get installed on your machines without your knowing about it.
Description:
To do this project you will need to install two pieces of software on your machines:

Run Spybot on your machine (this may take a couple of hours on a machine with a pretty full hard drive), this will produce an inventory of the various pieces od spy ware and bots that have been placed on your machine. Save the inventory and then immunize your machine. Take the inventory and look up on the internet each item found by the Spybot scan(most of them should be in Wikipedia). Create a document (text) that contains the inventory and the description. Try to discover what casued these issues.

Run CCleaner and make an inventory of the found files and registry issues descovered. Make a text document list of these items. Make sure to clean up any and all issues discovered by CCleaner and what they are.

Put the two reports on your FTP site as Lab 5.
