    Thanks, working without any problems so far.
    Keyscrambler premium was giving me system errors so off it went, support was of little help. Really not needed with the others though.

    Tweaked my Safe-Admin setup to perfection (Win7 x32 ultimate, behind a router), found a nice registry tweak at Symantec to install MSI's as admin. Its a lot of tweaking to have full control on installs and config changes (first move executable outside Chrome, Mail folder, second remove the 1806 deny execute through right click, third and last shoot in the foot threshold is a right click run as admin);

    Windows FW two way, manually added programs/services to go outbound

    Protection from Medium rights (LUA) to High rights (Admin/System)
    a) Only allow elevation from safe places of signed programs (User Account Control settings)
    b) Group policy hardening (deny installation of unsigned drivers by User & Deny auto-run plus installation by User from removable drives & disable per user installs).


    -------------------Medium to High rights boundery ------------------

    Run as Limited User
    a) ICACLS - Added a Mandatory Medium Level token to Mail and Mediaplayer (using Chromium which is unsigned so will never elevate) and other office software running in safe places (Programs Files folder)
    b) Software restriction policy, set default protection level to basic user, only allowing safe places (root & program files) to run unrestricted for all users except Admin. With run msi as admin tweak of symantec I can run all my installs as Admin from a directory in user space.

    Deny execute protection
    a) Through SRP of data and media partition, image and data backup (NAS) and USB drives
    b) Through 1806 trick of executables downloaded with Chrome or Mail
    c) Throug folder permissions set deny execute of Downloads Folder, Mail folder and Temp folders of Chrome (add deny execute/travese folder for user Everyone)

    Registry protection (HKCU)
    Changed permission of users (with Regedit) to prevent adding/changing HKCU registry key entries listed by Autoruns (so added a fake key for all empty entries)

    Memory protection
    EMET 2.1 (office, media player, browser, mail and foxit pdf reader)


    -------------------Low to Medium rights boundery -------------------

    Chromium Low rights containment (sandbox) with
    - Norton DNS, starting page.com and ghostery, only allowing first party cookies (tracking & privacy protection),
    - Norton DNS, Bitdefender traffic light and Googles safe browsing & AVG Threatlabs (phising & download reputation protection)


    -------------------ON DEMAND CLOUD SCANS -----------------------

    Total of 9 engines scanning less than 3 minutes in total before monthly backup to NAS (using Windows image and Synctoy for data).
    - HitmanPro (AEM=A2+Ikarus, G Data=Avast + Bitdefender, Dr Web)
    - Norton Power Eraser,
    - McFee Get Suspicious
    - Panda Active Scan
    - Comodo Autorun Analyzer

    When my Norton Internet Security 2012 trial expired 2-days ago, I replaced it with Panda Cloud AV 1.5.1 and PrivateFirewall 7. So far the new setup seems to be working pretty good. :thumb:
