    Yes I went back to 32 bit. I dedicated 4 GB of RAM to RamDisk and put pagefile and Sandboxie container on it.

    @Windows_Security: some exploits against Foxit seem to have appeared ITW. None against the current version, I think, but the Metasploit database has a few for older versions.

    Anyway...

    grayarea (EeePC 1005HAB netbook)
    - Debian Wheezy (Xfce) x86
    - ufw firewall
    - Firefox + Noscript
    - Emacs + GPG for password management

    harvestlore (custom AMD A4 workstation)
    - Backbox Linux 3.09 x86-64
    - ufw
    - Firefox + Noscript
    - Emacs + GPG
    - dozens of pentesting tools
    - Virtualbox (works much better with hardware virtualization)

  8. Yes there is no zero risk solution. Finally managed with the help of eventmanager to solve Adobe reader issue (unsigned dll's in Program Files\Common folder which Adobe is using). Happy with my locked admin setup, for install I need to change ACE on Temp Folder

    Good Morning! Just received the latest build update from Avira...very stable...no surprises. I uninstalled Zone Alarm...once it reached into the kernel...browsing became slower...also disconnected from Firefox unexpectably. Avira's a keeper...just uninstall the Ask Toolbar...during Custom install and your good to go. Avira is layered with WSA Security Plus and HMP and HMP Alert 2...Sincerely...Securon

    Now happy with this very light combination:

    WSA AV
    Avira AV Suite (minus Firewall control as don't think it is needed with WSA)
    MBAM Pro on-demand

    Switched from Ubuntu 13.10 to Linux Mint Debian Edition. I love to watch the malware download itself and not know what to do.

    I have a client of mine that asked for some security setup advise

    The client isn't quite savy, but learns programs very quickly.

    What do you think about this recommendation for him?

    avast! 2014 Free Antivirus with tweaks and Hardened Mode enabled
    AppGuard 4.0 (He's interested and willing to learn)
    WinPatrol Plus (Client already owns a license)

    His current security setup is as follows:

    Microsoft Security Essentials
    WinPatrol Plus

    He is looking for simple, but yet powerful against threats, which is why I thought my above recommendation would be perfect for him...what do you think?

    Sounds good. Maybe an alternative DNS server like Opendns or Norton DNS, as well. I know avast already has a web filter but it can't hurt!

    You're welcome! :) Maybe a on-demand scanner such as HMP and/or mbam for second opinion as well.
