    It's my weakest part...:(

    I do a 'classic backup' on DVD with infra recorder and evey important files was copied in a encrypted USB keys and stored somewhere on earth and after erase from my hard drive...

    But I'm looking for a external hard drive with backups apps...

    Have a nice day

    Installed Chrome for the first time.
    It's a big improvement over IE8, speedwise and otherwise.
    Now to learn how and what to tweak.

    I used to have Firefox, but it takes so long to start :p I'm also using Chrome now with Ghostery, Adblock, Notscripts and Click&Clean!

    You can have whatever you like.

    But I would personally be trying to get as light as possible.

    The ironic thing is, you really dont have to pay for a light but solid setup. Why we do still befuddles me.

    Something like Panda Cloud or Avast or Avira free, then if you want a firewall one like PC Tools. Backed up with MBAM free and for about 98 percent of users, it works. Coupled with some free common sense.
