    After switching back to Windows from Mac... :ninja:

    ESET Smart Security 5 (after deploying Nod32 on my network at work)
    MalwareBytes Free - scan once a week or so
    Adblock and Lastpass on Chrome
    All behind a NAT router with ID, and OpenDNS

    Just trying out Hitmanpro as an on-demand scanner.

    Any suggestions? My huge annoyance is anything that slows the system down. I didn't just drop a lot of money on nice specs to slug it down :argh:

    It's funny how my outlook towards my network security at work vs. home PC differs. I guess it's because I do online banking at home, and just re-image at work :D

    You can add Sandboxie to sandbox browsers and other exploitable software. I would also add some backup software to backup your system (just in case something gets through)...

    Neither will slow down your computer :)

    Thanks tomazyk! :D

    I forgot to mention I do have backup - Backblaze (love, love, love it!)

    Will check out sandboxie, thanks.

    You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it. It's one of my favorite software.

    EDIT: I checked out Backblaze but they say, they don't support OS backup, only files backup. I would suggest you to backup your system also. It can save you a lot of time.
