    Back to Windows 7. Whilst Vista has certainly improved since its release (especially with SP2), Windows 7 is where it's at. Also, re-installed WinPatrol PLUS. Scotty is just too handy to not have around.

    Using LastPass Premium now. I have added Sesame 2-factor authentication for added security (while I await my YubiKey). I missed last pass :D

    All of my important passwords for encrypted devices/volumes are stored in a KeePass data base on my IronKey flash drive. I also only put in one or two characters for every section of the password to remember it by. :thumb:


    Looking for a SAS or MBAM like solution for Mac OS X does any one know of any?
