    • Streaming audio/video content from shady sites

    • Working from home
Computer specs
Digital Storm, liquid cooled, I forget all inside hardware, sort of mid-range for DS.
I used to have virtualbox installed and did minimal malware testing, but then had a minor snafu with VB, got busy at work and have not reinstalled VB. Was considering VMware paid version, but have not had the time to seriously consider it.

just realized I forgot to mention shadow defender, which I use occasionally when I install a new software. I also use tweaking.com app to backup the registry before some installs. And revo pro for most installs. I guess I have to go back into the wizard and tweak config some more.
