[[VirtualBox is your friend. If you are doing anything sensitive, always do it from a Virtual Machine.]]

Great point- if you must use flash, open up virtualbox, then go to the site- just another added safety measure-

One thing i always used when i ran windows as main os was rollbackRX- IF i ever got a virus, which was very rare- (or something just messed up on computer that i couldn’t figure out) I could do a complete rollback to a time before i got the virus- You can install your OS, get all your programs on, updated, set windows up how you like it- then do a baseline system snapshot- as your ‘last resort’ snapshot- when everything else fails- then do snapshots along hte way whenever you have major changes-

What i like about rollbackRX is that it runs before windows starts up if you want- gives you a list of snapshots to restore to before windows loads- and it restores EVERYTHING- just the way it was before you got the virus-

I know this is Mac thread- but for those whio are also windows users- I’d highly recommend rollbackRX- Saved my bacon many times- easy peasy too- no hunting down virus files on computer- no quarantines- nothing, just do a rollback-

The only thing is that it hooks into the master boot record- so that it can start before windows boots-

Anyways- anyone interested- check it out- i never worried about viruses, or messing up the computer by mucking with the registry or anything like that- was free to try things without fear of having to do a reformat because something got messed up- just did a rollback and in 2 minutes was back up and running- I went for years like that when i ran windows as main os- very very pleased with the program-
