Actually, I already have Windows 7 Home Premium. Installed the OS and all the soft I need. Then used Advanced Tokens Manager
for making a backup of the keys for it, as well as for Microsoft Office. Backuped the whole C partition with Acronis.
Put it on the shelf for rainy days and returned to my beloved Windows XP. The old flame is hard to put out, you know.

Well, I made up my mind to try and see if I could manage without an Antivirus.
It didn't take long to get a surprise. So, I restored my Acronis Image and gave up taking risks for fun.

Only Antimalware. I have tried Online Armor but found out that I can do quite all right without it.
I don't usually prowl around. Just audible or audible dot co dot uk where I download audiobooks for free.
When I want to check a website, I just use WOT (Web Of Trust).
