| | I like using other browsers other than IE as they usually stands up better against hackers... not at all times but most times... just my 0.02 cents...  a good virus program like MS or Avast and touch up the firewall a little with something like Windows Firewall control and your likely good to go... common sense is also the best protection...

Just put turn on DEP to all programs except those. To exceptions you will put programs which you find can't work with DEP ( when you try to run those program it will be closed and you will be notified that DEP closed it.) F.A.Q. on DEP: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...sked-questions |
