[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 850868, member: 82776"] My grandma uses a 15 year old laptop (Athlon dual core) with: 1. Windows XP Pro 2. Grandma logs in as a Basic User 3. Programs (C) and data partition (D) 3. SRP deny execute in user folders and D partition 4. Time freeze which only virtualizes C partition 5. No dotNet, some sponsors disabled or blocked with SRP, Office trustcenter all macros's plugins, DLL's, Active X disabled Because grandma found updates confusing, freezing the PC (running as sort of Kiosk PC) was implemented a few months after she got the PC. I remember as a kid when we went to grandma, my father always updated the PC and 'frooze' it again. Never heard her talk about a problem (with malware nor configuration), so light virtualization from my experience is a good solution for old fooks. [/QUOTE]
