    NAT/SPI Router
    Firefox 3 with Adblock Plus

    Before I shut my PC down,
    I rollback to a Clean SnapShot
    created on the day I formatted it.

    im guessing its just to be safe, cuz maybe something did get in and was unnoticed at the time. thats my guess of why.

    In the -Extremely- RARE case that
    something penetrated my NAT/SPI Router and Sandboxie (Registered).
    It takes me about 10 seconds to Restore my System with Rollback Rx 8.1 Pro
    An AV, AS or AM scanner needs at least 15 minutes to check my system (Win XP Pro SP3).

    Since November 2007, AV, AS, and AM scanners have found -Nothing- But cookies...
    Rollback Rx 7 and 8 have been a milestone in my Security Setup.
