Istall firewall protections, antivirus protections, spyware protections, and adware protections on your computer. I just dealt with this. The programs that come with your computer unfortunately aren't that great. I have some great programs on my pc right now, and the best thing, they are all free. AND MY PC IS VIRUS FREE!!! \nHere is what I use, and have no problems.

You can create a guest account and prevent the changing of any programs and access to the administrator files that is your account on the PC.Nothing they can do can corrupt your data or programs,as the system wont allow any change by the guest.

You should only login as an administrator when you are doing administrative task (installing software, etc) \n\nthat way you'd be protecting the computer against any mistake or virus that you might make

"The USB Wireless Security lock is a simple yet effective means to ensure computer access is limited to an authorized user. Each kit is composed of a USB receiver dongle connected to the computer, and a battery-powered access transmitter, which is to be carried by the authorized user. When the user moves more than 2 meters away from the computer, the security dongle will disable access to the computer until the user carrying the transmitter has returned within the vicinity of the computer."\n\nhttp://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/698d/

I don't think you can write protect the registry but if you could you shouldn't!!!  The registry is constantly being updated.  You can back up the registry if you want. The computer will quit working if the registry can not be written to.

There are quite a few things you can do to keep your PC safe.  Take a look at the paper at the link below in Source(s).\n     Although the paper is intended for business end user devices, the protection principles are the same when deciding how to protect your home PCs.\nIf you'd rather not wade through the paper, you can also visit http://www.adventuresinsecurity.com/podcasts.html to listen to the End User Device Security podcast series.\n\nHope this helps...

Probably a room because if you had a computer in a shared room, the person you are sharing with could find out some personal things such as passwords or what you are instant messenging about. Please give this a "best answer" award.
