   | I had a very long, detailed reply in progress but decided against it.   
   | I'll just say I think you are misguided in your approach to security,   
   | and leave it at that.

     Even after reading my explanation? I've never had a   
   virus or malware infestation. I haven't used AV for   
   many years. I certainly wouldn't use "malware hunter"   
   software. And I never have to tangle with restriction   
   hassles. I also don't enable script online. I download   
   very little. And I only read unknown email as plain text.   
      
     To me it seems misguided to lock every door in your   
   house while paid security guards traipse through the   
   living room... yet the front door is wide open.   
      
      But isn't the real test in the results and not what in   
   Microsoft defines as "best practice"? If you want to   
   shop and Facebook and don't want to have to hassle   
   with paying attention to what you do online, then I'd   
   agree with you. In fact, I'd go further and recommend   
   that you buy a Apple product.
