What's your 2010 security recommendations on a small office computer?

Current Setup
Vista Business
Internet Explorer
Acrobat Reader 9
Microsoft Office 2007
Online Armor (Paid)
A-Squared (Paid)
Prevx (Free Scanner Only)

A-Squared is very good software but there is little development of new features. I propose the following subject to your approval.

New 2010 Setup
Vista Business
Acrobat Reader 9
Microsoft Office 2007
Google Chrome (No need for Sandboxie right?)
Norton Internet Security 2010
Hitman Pro 3

If I download a document, say for MS Word. If I open the download, MS Word starts within the sandboxie. If there a way to stop this from happening ?

You are rather naive if you think any kind of current browser security is the same level as sandboxie. Sandboxie reinvents the wheel by working at the kernel level to prevent infection. chrome relies on file level mechanisms such as policy restricition to insulate 'sandboxed' items from the system. One rights elevation flaw in the OS and you're doomed with chrome. Sbie provides an executabe whitelist feature where nothign runs unless you permit it to. If virii cant run how can they infect? also sandboxie allows you to cordone off net access for unknown programs ie keyloggers.

Sbie is free for the most part, what have you got to lose huh? :D
