Looking for guide to securing W2K



Hello - I'm looking for a guide to securing Windows 2000 SP4 on an older laptop. I like Windows XP but I'm really performance minded on hardware that old, it's reached it's upgrade maximum, and as I'm going to be using it as a modified HTPC, I'm wondering if I can modify it so that it's roughly as secure as Windows XP SP2.

I've already done the basics - installed AV software and Ad-Aware, though I've yet to find a good firewall solution other than having it connect through a Belkin router.

Please reply to brian dot boyko at gmail dot nospam dot com and remove the nospam.
