One tool most end users don't know about (or choose not to use) is sandboxing. Its creating a memory space that can run an application (including web browsers) without allowing direct hard drive access. So if you do get an infection - and it doesn't get caught - when the sandbox is "flushed" - the virus goes away. It never gets out of the "box"
Sandboxing, this is new to me, I'm going to look into this, looks like a must have. I recently made a visit to a trusted site and clicked on a howto picture link only to be hit by a trojan. Security Essentials picked it up right away and wiped it, but the site has now been black balled as a bad risk.

Security Essentials seems to work quite well I recon, any thoughts on this ?
