You have been busy James haven't you? :p Can't really find anything to add, but any reason for Internet Explorer 10 or is it because you use it with Windows 8?

Since my newly laptop is running fast and smooth, then I decided to use IE10 since its responsiveness is fine enough + providing SmartScreen Filter and Tracking Protection as another layer of protection.

Yeah really busy during a year so I need to focus from commonly lifestyle.

Ahh, right I see. How are you like the Metro compared to Windows XP and 7? Something different I bet. :p

Definitely a big different which caused me to confused a bit but could managed it well. Even the first time boot up guide made it understand a bit of using of Metro Interface version.

But the main reason is that it provides better security enhancements as posted from articles before.

Plan to buy 1TB Hard Disk Drive for my backup, which hopefully would meet up the money that I've save before.

I've decided to remove the preinstalled NIS and trying the experimental version of a virtualization software with a HIPS/Firewall feature.

Common sense at any type of vectors to occur an infection attack thus my level of exposure are increased.

+ Backup from my external HDD in case of a problem arise.

Made a restore changes for my Windows 8 so I'm using MBAM Pro, Privatefirewall, and Sandboxie. :)

Shadow Defender works well however for some reason I need to hard shutdown or restart as it couldn't completed fully.

While Toolwiz Time Freeze and Wondershare Time Freeze gave an error when its virtualization mode was ON.

How are you finding Sandboxie? as if I recall you always used to use Avira?

Well its an ease to use with peace of mind and the free version is really good at all. :)

My history of my AV used on desktop as followed:

1) Avira
2) NIS
3) Avira again
4) Avast

In my ultrabook I've decided to became fast and simple: MBAM Pro does fine at all and not experience slowdowns.
