[QUOTE="Eddie Morra, post: 774958"] Situations like the one with CCleaner are impossible situations. Trying to prepare to defend against attacks which will be coming through rogue updates which are unknown of for genuine and popular software is an impossible solution. You can block automatic updates and wait X amount of time before allowing them in or use a firewall to restrict network access but specifically going out of your way to try and form some cocktail combination of paranoia real-time defence usually never does any good... it just teaches you to be more paranoid the next day and get unreal expectations that your configuration cannot be beaten, when in reality it can. Every single online company can be attacked by an attacker one way or another... it is simply a guessing game on how long it will take for it to happen or be identified once the breach has already happened. There's always someone better than you out there... faster, smarter, experienced and patient. It goes without saying that piling on security software increases the risk of compatibility issues and more vulnerabilities being introduced - like with anything else. [/QUOTE]
