Title

Microsoft Zone Internet Games are installed on the system. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

The setup wizard in Windows XP does not allow as much flexibility in component selection as previous version of Windows. Since that is the case, several default components are installed. These components must be removed from the system. These components include the Microsoft Zone Internet Games.

Check Content

Select “Start” Select “Control Panel” Select the “Add or Remove Programs” applet. Select “Add/Remove Windows Components”. Highlight “Accessories and Utilities” Highlight “Games” and select details. If the entry for “Internet Games” is selected, then this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the system to remove Internet Games.
