    Well i use my PC for gaming every now and then and i need the extra ooomph. :D :D
    It's cheaper than building a completely new PC.
    CPU was $62 US Dollars.
    HDD was $55 US Dollars.
    RAM was $45 US Dollars.
    GPU will be around 100-150$.

    Hahahahaha, well the CPU and the HDD were purchased from eBay.
    RAM is brand new and GPU will probably be brand new HD7850 i'm waiting until black friday or christmas to see if there are discounts for HD7850.

    Once i've completed my new build i'll reinstall OA in my desktop because i've been using my desktop without OA for a couple months. (I have it on my Laptop)

    Windows Ultimate x32 lazy admin setup

    Firewall
    Router with Norton DNS and WFW setup two way

    Real time protection
    1. Threatgates containment
    Disabled USB autoplay/execute USB through GPO, Added SRP deny execute and ACL deny "Traverse folder/execute" for everyone on Download, mail and media folder. Added EMET to mail, VLC media player and browser (Chromium). Installed Exploitshield beta for Chrome and browser plug-ins. Running Chromium with flash and PDF plug-ins in (untrusted) sandbox. Enabled Google safe browsing URL + reputation filtering. Using Chrome's switcher extension manager as extension/application/theme intrusion detection system.

    2. Internet privacy
    Chromium internet browser is started with --no-referrers switch with following privacy and content settings: Send a do not track request with your browsing traffic (new), Allow only session data, Block third party cookies, Using startpage as search engine.

    3. User Space protection
    Hardened HKCU autorun entries through GPO, hardened Run and Run Once with regedit (removed "set value" permission for normal users). Set "Basic User" as default level, for all files, except Administrator. Added symantec Run MSI as Admin tweak. This prevents programs from elevating and executing in user directories, but allows to install with "Run As Admin" right click (after having removed the 1806 block).

    4. Admin Space protection
    Set UAC to full, disable intelligent installer recognition, disabled unsigned programs to elevate. Chromium, 7-zip and VLC are unsigned, hence can't elevate to Admin.

    On demand scan check
    HitmanPro free, Panda Cloudscanner free, Sysinternals (programs and autoruns) => only before monthly backup

    Backup/Imagine
    Windows own image backup, Synctoy free for data backup

    lol. i needed a new toy. ;)

    i've been trying a few firewalls lately.

    there doesn't seem to be many 'big name' firewalls left.
    sure it is not like it was about 5 years ago.
