That's pretty broad...

You might want to narrow down what you are trying to accomplish and in what
environment. But in general..

-- Use NTFS so you can better use the groups to limit users.
(File/Folder permissions as well as Registry permissions.)
-- Use the firewall to protect from some worms/trojans.
-- Use a good/updated frequently antivirus software.
-- Use group policies to further limit what users/groups can do.
