    Decided to go for simple version of SAFE-ADMIN windows7

    Windows internal FireWall 2-way

    UAC full
    Manually changed (UAC) through regedit
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures"
    Only elevate executables that are signed and validated
    1 = ON

    "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"
    Behavior of the Elevation Prompt For Administrators in Admin Approval Mode
    0 = run in quite mode (keep UAC on, but automaticallu elevate to Admin)

    "FilterAdministratorToken"
    Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator Account
    1 = ON

    1806 trick
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3
    1806 = 3 (denies to run executables downloaded through Chromium or e-mail

    Browser Low Integrity Sandbox
    Daily Browsing
    Chromium's internal low rights sandbox with siteadvisor and Avast's web rep (just throw the crx file onto your extensions tab). Because Chromium is not signed it will never elevate to admin.

    Banking
    IE9 in protected mode with TrusteerRapport (TR does recognise Chrome, but not Chromium, so IE9 slightly slower startup with TR is only noticeable for ad hoc on-line banking)

    Hardening
    Used right click properties of download directory and denied "traverse folder and execute" for everyone. Disabled autoruns. Added a deny execute policu for public folder and USB-drives through Software Restrictions Policy. EMET (IE9, Chromium, E-mail, Media Player)

    On demand
    Hitman Pro

    even OA free will stop malware in real time if your browser is set to run safer all the time also other programs that brings malware to the house;)
    also concider this;
    1806 trick
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3
    1806 = 3

    Yep system restore is a pretty good goof proof to fix something that went array on install but IMO a offline image should be made and then kill off system restore for good,that way malware has one less hidding place.
