[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 799036, member: 37647"] Just install Linux Mint Cinnamon and get it over with. It's a pleasure to use. Easiest of all distros. It's made to just work. If you are skilled enough to secure Windows, you are skilled enough for Linux Mint Cinnamon, and you don't even have to waste your time and nerves on security. There is a reason why Linux doesn't have real-time malware protection: it doesn't need it. :) Spin up a Windows XP virtual machine for things you can't do easily in Linux. XP runs so light in VM, it's like running an app. And no updates. Just pure Windows functionality. [/QUOTE]
