    dropped Comodo Dragon browser due to not being supported with Ccleaner.
    I'm thinking of going back to Opera or Firefox. :shifty:
    ... or back to Chrome because it seems the only browser that works with Kees' ACL protection. :(

    Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 as a Standard User with DEP and SEHOP enabled for all process; Windows 7 built-in software firewall; OpenDNS for malicious web page blocking; and a Netgear WNDR3700 NAT router/SPI hardware firewall.

    That's it... in addition to my common sense.

    I think using LUA & SRP should be secure enough. Although i would suggest using MBAM &/or Hitman Pro as your On-Demand scanners. Spybot is very out-dated, and ClamAV detection rates are very poor.

    I have Avast 5 Free (with All Shields Up) only on the slower Desktop Computer. Removed DefenseWall and PrevX SafeOnline. Probably will put Winpatrol back on it too.

    DefenseWall and PrevX SafeOnline rock, but my computer is just too old to run them.

    I'm Kees1958 copycat. :D
    most is the same except I'm running as Limited User instead of Power User.
    Ah... I also have Comodo Time Machine installed.
    Peerblock for my P2P habits.

    maybe I'll add Keyscrambler or something.


    gpedit.msc is sexy :D

    Until I get time to reinstall my current setup (maybe this evening), I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I do remember this and it works very well, but sometimes trying to play media (stream audio) is a pain. Matt
