Protect removable drives from virus/malware
You don’t need a lot of time or knowledge to execute the few changes that Trend Micro suggests protecting your drive against the Autorun feature. To be able to do this, you must first format the drive using NTFS (if you haven’t already), because only this type of formatting allows you to execute the wanted procedure. Create inside the root directory of the drive a file or folder named Autorun.inf. As worms are known to bypass this simple solution by replacing the legitimate file with the malicious one, use file permissions and restrict possible changes.

What Is OpenID
OpenID allows you to use an existing identity to sign in to multiple websites, without needing to create new passwords. With OpenID, your password is only given to your identity provider, and that provider then confirms your identity to the websites you visit. Other than your provider, no website ever sees your password, so you don’t need to worry about an unscrupulous or insecure website compromising your identity.

The Microsoft Anti-Cross Site Scripting Library (Anti-XSS) is an encoding library designed to help developers protect their ASP.NET web-based applications from XSS attacks. This encoding libraries uses the white-listing technique – sometimes referred to as the principle of inclusions – to provide protection against XSS attacks.
