[QUOTE="n8chavez, post: 1010412, member: 90863"] So....a couple things: 1. Holy hell that's a lot of repetitive security layers. Most of that is not needed. Ditch the scanners and spyware shelter. They won't add anything to what VS already offers. And , b. Yes, BitLocker is cool. Yes, it can be useful. But it presents it's own set of issues. DDrives that are encrypted are very diffucult to back up and restore correctly. That being said, there's nothing I recommend more than a reliable disk imaging program with externally stored images. If it's a choice between the maybe possible and the reliability of in backup, I choose the backup every time. If this system stays at home, you don't need encryption. If this system does not stay at home, you MIGHT need encryption. But is encryption worth the tradeoff? I never err on the side of paranoia for paranoia's sake. [/QUOTE]
