[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 787291, member: 32260"] I assume, that you do not intentionally run/open the suspicious programs/content and do not ignore security alerts. If not, then the below suggestions (and others) will be pretty much useless. [LIST=1] [*]Windows & software updates. [*]Reducing the attack surface (disabled SMB protocols & unneeded services, etc.). [*]Standard User Account. [*]Default-deny setup. [/LIST] You can think about kernel exploits as about the HIV disease, which exploits the human immune system. The most efficient solution is a reasonable prophylaxis. You can try other solutions like hardening the system processes, but this will be a painful way just like the HIV disease treatment. [/QUOTE]
