    if you really do not connect much on the net that is something but do not forget that usb sticks may infect you as well. I myself always got infected from usb.
    AVAST
    AVIRA
    AVG
    are the best free ones. You can always get the off line updates by downloading them once in a while at their sites .

    Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits, running Safe Admin since march 2010

    Paragon 4 image backup + Syncback 4 data backup

    Windows 7 FW - two way

    Barrier from medium to high rights (UAC)
    a) UAC on full
    b) Installer recognition off
    c) Elevate only from safe places (Windows + Programs)
    d) Deny elevation of unsigned programs
    s) Set registry key autoruns in HKEY_CURRENT_USER to high rights with regil utility (admin is allowed to acces, normal user not)

    All software running Medium rights, Hardened setup through GPO.
    Vulnarable software (e.g. Office) running Windows internal 'file + registry virtualisation' (RUNASINVOKER)
    User space hardened with deny execute
    a) download directory (icacls) for everyone
    b) data partition deny execution (icacls) for everyone
    c) USB drives (Software Restriction Policy deny execute)

    Internet facing - containment low rights
    a) EMET2 internet facing software\
    b) deny execute of downloads (mail, browsers) through 1806 trick
    c) mandatory level set to to Mail + Windows Media Player through chml (icacls alternative with more options)
    d) IE9 contained through GPO (users not allowed to change policies, allways running protected mode) with trusteer rapport maxed out for banking (IE has good smartscreen filter which is allways on)
    e) Chromium (unsigned program from user space, can't elevate) with Mcfee site advisor and Bitdefenders's traffic light plug-ins added to chrome's phising protection

    Hitman Pro on demand

    blue = real time additions, otherwise using Windows native options to secure Windows :D

    Anyone else feel like posting all of our security setups might not be the best idea?

    In what way might it not be a good idea?
    Individually, or as a group?
    Either way, I don't think it is a bad idea, i.e. it won 't come back to bite us in any way.
    I do recall that when I first joined Wilders 4 years ago the thought did cross my mind.

    IDK, if someone were to target a user they'd basically know what they were going up against before starting.

    edit: And while I "believe in my arsenal" I don't believe that I'm hack proof.

    What do you mean? They see X user, they look up their security setup, they attack that user with the knowledge of their setup.

    Early applicants were included in the initial Beta process for the new Prevx software to iron out the early wrinkles. It will eventually go to public Beta (hopefully soon) for everyone interested to put it through the treadmill. I'm greasing up with Hydrocortisone because I am itching like crazy to try it...
