[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 778591, member: 32260"] The example of my wife is interesting. She is not an average user when we are considering the knowledge about informatics and computers, but she uses her computer like the average users do. She is happy with the extremely restricted setup: WD (advanced settings on max) + SRP default-deny + no elevation on SUA account + Windows hardening (all made by H_C). She does not even install the new applications - she could not, because installers usually require elevation. Two times a year, I have to turn off SRP, and she installs the GPS software on the memory card. That is all I have to do. Everything updates/upgrades without any issues, she does not make full scans, at all - no third party real-time security, no optimizers, etc. Zero problems for me and her. The system is silent as grave, fast and responsive for 3 years, without any manual maintenance. Before using the above WIndows built-in security setup, she installed a few AV, used optimizers, registry cleaners, etc. She infected computer by PUA, because she ignored the Avast alert. The system was not responsive, so I had to reinstall Windows and then asked her to apply restricted setup. She agreed. [/QUOTE]
