    Yes Easter means PowerShadow, which protects his system partition in single shadowmode or all his harddisks in full shadowmode.
    I use FirstDefense-ISR which uses a different method but with the same result, FDISR only protects my system partition and can't protect any other partition or harddisk.
    Unfortunately both methods act too late IMO. I'm waiting for another software that works the way I think.

    Depends on what you are doing. If high risk surfing, I'll run full set up of security software, along with Sandboxie, in the virtual machine. If I am playing with fire, I like having a lot of water around so to speak.

    Going with no AV is like driving a car without a seatbelt. High Risk.

    Start going fast or visiting bad parts of town and you will soon have trouble. ;)

    You can setup DefenseWall to treat all external drives (USB) as untrusted thus eliminating any possible infections.

    It will be interesting to see threads simuliar to this one when Comodo releases their new firewall :D

    PowerShadow (specifically version 2.6).

    He has made comments about 2.6 works very well for him.

    The 2.8.2 version is not native English, and v2.8.2 has hidden data... https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=175191

    Also see EASTER's signature.

    He only has PS 2.6 = NO full shadow (only single shadow). UPDATE: I was wrong... see following posts.

    I tested PS 2.6. and I saw both modes at reboot :
    1. WinXP
    2. WinXP single shadowmode
    3. WinXP full shadowmode
    and also the Shadow Screen gave me both options.

    Well, I was wrong... sort of. ;)

    My XP boot screen (boot.ini) shows ""Single shadow mode for microsoft windows xp professional".

    BUT, the PowerShadow GUI "Startup Menu" tab, allows you to display Single/Full/Both/None.

    So, I guess the default install only shows Single.

    How about giving my 1/2 a point for being half-axe right? :D

    When I was trying PS, I had the impression that it didn't work properly, because these 3 options weren't displayed at the very beginning. For awhile it showed only two options without the full mode and then suddenly all options appeared.
    If I booted in single or full mode I got an error message, so I could only boot in winXP mode and activate single mode on the desktop. So I ditched it.
