Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 781060, member: 63811"] I always go with this graph. Do you have every layer covered? Some programs cover multiple layers like security suites. Others only cover one. If you have a security suite and a good brain capable of being a careful and skeptical Internet user, you really don't have to worry about anything other than intrusion detection and even that is pretty rare in a home environment if you don't draw attention to yourself on the Internet.

Everything depends on brain.exe. All the other programs are just for your convenience and automation. I think the most underrated security software is Windows Update, Group Policy and your favorite backup program of your choice. I recommend Group Policy to everyone because it's just like registry tweaks but your security tweaks persists through feature updates and across the entire computer no matter how many users you add or remove.
