I have a win2K machine that I use mainly as a firewall using Winproxy
running as a service.
When the machine boots up winproxy will start and function normally even if
you never
log in. My question is this...does a win2K machine sitting at the login
prompt suffer the same
vulnerabilities as it might if you were logged in - in other words, does the
fact that you are not
logged in help in any way in protecting the machine from virus, trojan,
etc., attacks? What evil
deeds can be wrought upon the machine while sitting at the login prompt?
