[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1061885"] Almost all security software "i say almost as im sure there is an exception out there somewhere" are set with balanced settings of protection and usability for average users. Windows is no exception it can be tweaked for stronger protections even the firewall can be set with custom rules to harden. If one has the Pro version you can extend upon this with Windows built in tools via gpedit. This last part though im going to keep mentioning, as eventually it will be understood at some level, is for instance the attack avenue Leo used above with his scripts, the urls. You have to ask yourself a very simple but profound question, how do i access a URL on the internet. Wouldn't that be the first line of defense i should be concerned with. From finding extensions such as ublock with its online malicious block list ect, to understanding how to look at URL addresses and question them if they are legit, to checking such URLs on sites like VIrustotal before proceeding to them if unsure. Back to the basics of looking before clicking. In my best Elvis voice "why thank you, thank you very much" and he bows :) [/QUOTE]
