But what Colpol said: What will stop a naughty program from starting or playing silly buggers. In my mind, the only way to prevent or monitor this kind of thing is with a program like Comodo's Defense+ or Threatfire's Antivirus. As they say themselves: Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed. For me, this is simply not good enough. But even with just a simple default-deny system (whitelist) you can allow only the applications you know and trust, and deny everything else. Since any virus is in the "everything else" category, you are protected against all current and future viruses	Agent_24 (57)
