    A typewriter, as complete safety is impossible.

    You could also add exploit mitigation software like EMET.

    True that mate, True that, Internet is not a safe place, It's full of cat.gifs and people that are writing malwares in dark rooms :p. Back to the real talk, I was thinking about adding EMET, But it makes some apps act weird though (I guess i read that in their support forum).

    And what about Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Premium (along with Bitdefender Total Security 2016)?, I read that they didn't go well together in the older/previous version(s).

    Run the occasional scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free and you'll be fine, I suspect.

    If you're not comfortable with EMET or Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. The only one left is HitmanPro.Alert 3. I currently have HitmanPro.Alert 3 running along side Comodo Firewall, G Data Anti-Virus and SecureAPlus without any problems.

    Nice thing about Webroot Security. It run along side another Anti-Virus or Security Suite.

    Avira Antivirus Pro (Antivirus)
    MBAM Premium (Anti-Malware)
    MBAE Free (Anti-Exploit)
    CryptoPrevent Premium (Anti-Crypto Hardening)
    Sandboxie (Sandbox for all incoming files)
    SpywareBlaster Free (Generic System Hardening)
    SpywareShelter Free (Anti-Logger)

    Chrome with HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin, Disconnect.

    Everything works fine together, only uBlock Origin and Disconnect do block the same things sometimes, which causes an extension warning.

    You could try adding these Disconnect lists to uBlock Origin Custom filters and disable Disconnect?

    https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt
    https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_malware.txt
    https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_tracking.txt
    https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_malvertising.txt

    Edit: I see the Disconnect basic tracking and malvertising filter lists are already included in uBlock - dunno if these cover all four lists above though, or just the last two.

    You mean, uBlock can do everything Disconnect does, as long as it has the Disconnect lists?

    I would imagine yes, but would someone else care to confirm? Else maybe post on uBlock Origin thread.

    I've just started using Process Explorer for occasional checks, since it can scan all running processes at VirusTotal. I had no idea it could do this until I saw the following article at InfoWorld (I had not used Process Explorer for many years).
    A free, almost foolproof way to check for malware

    Thanks for posting Roger. I was aware of that capability but had not tried it.

    To each their own :) An obscure OS could also be backdoored in a way that could circumvent an AirGap whereas Qubes has many eyes on it and they are trying to get reproducible builds (and move to a Debian base I believe). This could be argued in circles though.

    I do like your idea of using a machine that is slow though. A machine with no networking a very little storage or Ram would make it hard to infect with a sophisticate piece of malware. Maybe something with 256MB of ram running BSD and no networking would be ideal. Not much wiggle room especially to break an airgrap. Plus older hardware is probably less likely to have a hardware backdoor or anything like that.

    I mainly picked something I was familiar with that did what I wanted. I also have to handle documents such as PDF's so disposable VMs are a must. You are right that most people here aren't dealing with state or corporate secrets. I am though (Corporate) so I have to be careful. I also have a lot of funding I can throw at this stuff.

    I was thinking of older machines that use non intel processors and other obscure hardware that would involve a lot of hours of homework for anyone trying to code for them plus tracking down obscure development tools that are long out of production. Any infection would involve some very good social engineering or out and out burglary.

    Qubes is interesting to me for networked use due to the way it sets up firewalling and virtualization. Air gapped, I would find it pretty dull to work with.
