[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 808627, member: 37647"] You can get Windows to function more like the Linux security model by using a Standard user account most of the time, and switching to an account with admin privileges only when necessary. Also, set User account control at max. Many anti-exe programs make OSArmor unnecessary. The realistic risks that we still have with your suggested config are very minimal. But you still need to keep your OS and software updated, because of exploits. To avoid all the headache and worry. Windows with good security is like living in a well-protected fortress within driving distance of downtown. Linux is like living on a peaceful deserted island, just you and the penguins. Take your pick. Most people will pick the option close to downtown. You can't get ice cream on deserted islands, unless you compile it yourself. :) [/QUOTE]
