Any idea how can I protect my LAN against:
Mailware / Spyware
Turn off port 25.
How does that help?
Install a malware scanner on your mail gateway and all vulnerable boxes.
ActiveX and other malicious codes
Don't use Internet Explorer. It's pretty much the only one that does ActiveX.
Virus / worms coming from the HTTP route
Eh? That's a new one.
The same ones that exploit IE with ActiveX holes :). Not new, just getting more popular. IIRC, Nimda was the first large one to use this.
