[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1082306, member: 19756"] That's what I mean. "Good habits" has several definitions here, and one of them involves restrictions and let users take matters into their own hands, e.g., default-deny. Others would advice coupling that with tweaking the built-in security program, which may lead to other complications, like some apps no longer able to access data folders, or slowdown when virtualization is turned on, and so on. Meanwhile, to avoid all that one has to take on the role of a security program: either let things sit out for days (and hoping that it won't be reported that they turn out to be infected after those days are over), or run them in a sandbox (or in a fake machine), or run them (whether they were downloaded manually or automatically by the OS) against other sites to check them, and son. Which is something one can do if one has a lot of time in his hands, and which unfortunately isn't the case for average users. [/QUOTE]
