[QUOTE="Practical Response, post: 1079699, member: 109138"] I myself use ChromeOS as my main. The security on these devices is among the best, at least for now until they become a bigger audience and target, but as you pointed out there are certainly "less holes" to contend with. I enjoy my ChromeOS though, as I am able to get on it and just use it as intended. To be fair though, I do the same with windows. I can open a windows laptop with nothing but default security and an ad blocker in the browser and just use the device as intended. I used to run my windows machine this way for a long time just fine. I kept analysis tools on hand to manually check the system from time to time, but other then, I did not focus on it as much as I used to when I did all the security/application testing here. I would keep Process Explorer/Autoruns both with VT enabled, PeStudio and TCPview on the device for checking from time to time. I of course always checked files and applications "downloads" ect in VT or PeStudio before execution, I always cross referenced websites before proceeding, I "verified" everything as I was never in too big a hurry to not be cautious and thorough. I kept everything backed up and on external devices should something happen, never storing personal important items on the system directly. No infections in all that time. It was not tons of security that kept my system clean, it was habits. [/QUOTE]
