[QUOTE="LDogg, post: 793031, member: 72150"] I'm glad I looked over at this thread. I completely agree with all the talking points that the OP made verbally. I believe less should more. The concept of a 3 layered security is great. Most common attack vectors nowadays happen via our Web browser and email. For home users the Web browser should be the first point of call, such as an Adblocker and if your AV has Web protection, this should be the basic things covered. Then a firewall/Syshardener (not advised for basic users) , then backup. Approaching a setup this way will have most attack vectors covered. ~LDogg [/QUOTE]
