glad it helped... I find it really does a very effective job of stopping malware, especially when you have high risk users at the controls..
if you have a version of windows that will let you edit group policy, gpedit.msc has a nice and easy to configure way of setting autoplay and...
This is not an issue at all since the only places they can copy the file to are places they are not allowed to run files from. Ideally, if you...
In Windows 7, I'd say they are both well secured, although IE will be a more common target. From what I've seen though, most people are...
IMO, path rules are the only rules that are easy to maintain. Hash rules are just impossible, and publisher rules are nice, but there are many...
I've done it through Applocker/SRP (depending on the OS). I'm thinking that disabling the secondary logon service will also prevent you from...
The thing to watch out for is that there are a lot of user writable folders from within C:\windows\ . You need to deny these entries on all...
I won't disagree that Firefox has its own security problems, but that is why I'm using chrome nowadays... for both the enterprise and personal...
Hah.. I've done that on quite a few occasions. Not sure why its disgusting exactly, in a lot of cases people simply can't grasp the idea that...
Well, security by obscurity is bad if its your only security... but all other things being equal, I'd choose to be in obscurity. Security by...

Yes, the new experimental protection mechanism is obviously the only real match for the 32-bit protection.. but it goes without saying that the...
by anti-vm do you mean that it does not execute in a vm? There have been no confirmed cases of live VM breakout that I know of.. Also, I...
I think in a 64-bit system, drop my rights is required to have the same level of protection as the 32-bit versions (aside from the patchguard...
FWIW, I've yet to actually have to use the A/V on my machine... However, my brother in law managed to infect himself using a crack he ran outside...
Sandboxie is great, and I love it... but lets be perfectly clear here. It has a limited scope of protection. For one, it does nothing for files...
I think its because people like us keep our machines updated. Everyone else is six months+ behind on Windows and programs updates.. Some of them...

Its sort of a moot point, isn't it? Without a user, everyone's computer would stay in the off state. Its more or less assumed that we are...
Ok, still a little shaky on the rules here.. but I will consider two scenarios A) Where I set up the security 1) Sandboxie w/ drop my rights,...
