[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 746636"] It is like everything, noobs will be infected , security aware people won't. 1- i always do a baseline image just after i clean installed and updated my OS. so image is clean. 2- then i do a second one after i added my apps and security soft, which were downloaded and checked as clean prior the clean install. so image still clean. 3- then i do regular backups from a restored clean image, once a month, usually after Windows Cumulative updates, i take the chance then to update my apps (which again are checked). if you have some logic and stick to a proper procedure, an image will never be infected. so yes , it is a security measure in case my system miraculously get screwed. and i just kill this thread :p [/QUOTE]
