[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1081069, member: 31436"] My experience over many years has been that, if I keep Windows and vulnerable apps updated, and am not click happy, that it's very hard to get infected. As a result I've never felt that I need to use a layered setup, or put much effort into protecting my computers. In my case, I don't care about having 100% protection. Knowing that it's very hard to get infected is enough. This isn't the case for everyone, but it is for me. Aside from one time when I got infected simply by visiting a compromised website (and that computer had outdated versions of Flash and Java), the only other times I've been infected is when I've opened an infected file. This is despite never making any effort to visit only trusted websites. [/QUOTE]
