    after trying a L.U.A. for almost a few days it is now part of my permanent setup.

    i am one of those who swore by using an Admin account before.
    once you have installed all of your apps LUA rarely bothers.

    i am also using UAC for a few days now, so IE Protected Mode is enabled.

    also added EMET which makes for a very light setup.

    small IS beautiful!

    and, IE9 will be released in 5 hours and 56 minutes from now! :D

    o Comodo AV
    o Windows Defender

    * Real-Time:
    o Avast 6.0.1000 Home - All settings set to max and auto-quarantine.
    o SAS V 4.49.1000 PRO - Default settings
    o PrevX SOL Facebook version - MAX settings and scan every 3 hours when connecting to a HTTPS site.

    i agree.

    but not before it hit 1 000 000 views. :D
    which should be around April 10 at this rate.

    i think it should then be retired to the Hall of Fame or something. :shifty:

    anyway, to get back on topic:
    it's all in the sig and it's all free! :thumb:

    Testing with Norton 2011 went well, impressed on the performance and detection, the interface still needs a little bit of work though :)
