( against all odds, for us using Emsisoft). And lastly, one could use a visualization software. It could be everything from Vmware to Oracle virtualbox (free) or a more semi user friendly solution as Shadow Defender. But the best weapon is still our common sense. It can’t prevent infections, but I would say that, with a little bit of awareness + good basics protection of your system, you should be pretty safe, generally. (as long as you don’t open small not digitally signed files with strange names like, snow/bot.exe – andr7.exe)
