    Router firewall
    Chrome 12.0 with malware protection enabled -- scans downloads. Javascript for whitelisted sites only.

    MVPS host file on my router
    Spybot host file on my computer
    UAC at Max
    EMET 2.1

    Honestly... the only way I can get a virus is if I allow it onto my computer and run it.

    Ya man I know that feeling. I kept looking at MSE and I was like I might as well not have anything if I'm not going full out. So I re-installed NIS2011.

    Felt odd not having an anti-virus like...something was missing. G'luk.
