    OMG! I'm so bad. I ditched Avast 5 free after a whooping hour on my laptop. Back to Avira premium I go! I can't wait for A-squared 5 to come out.

    Autocheckdisk f***** my pc up a bit (disabled now, but too late obviously :mad: ). Before that trouble with IE7/8 and Avast not installing. Had nothing to do with CTM, but won't reinstall it for now anyway, because why bother with a recalsitrant machine. Have only one image, so :thumbd:. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen :ninja: .

    Security Setup:-

    1. NIS 2010

    4. AppLocker Implemented
    5. Autorun Disbaled.

    I always use Virtual Machine (Win XP Pro) for my daily activities...Even i surf Internet on my virtual system which is again protected by Panda Cloud AV, MBAM 1.44 and Shadow Defender. I also use Sandboxie in my Virtual System for browsing activities. :)

    I try myself to be secure, and let other secure.

    Just switched from Avira to Panda Cloud. Avira let a rogue AV go by, and when I was doing a manual update for the AV database, Avira's servers took up to 50 minutes to respond to provide the update. I'm always connected to the Internet, so Panda Cloud IMHO has a better chance of catching a rogue. Can't wait for Comodo Internet Security 4. I'm very eager to utilize their sandbox.

    Actually i don't know how to configure Shadow Defender so that AV Updates won't get reverted. So i thought its better to have Panda Cloud AV because its directly connected to Panda Servers, so no need for updations at all. I hope so that i won't get infected in future unless and until any sophisticated malware break my Virtual System Security and get my real machine infected....
