Topic: Prevention is better than cure

here is a very good browser that should prevent most malware infections.
What’s different about this Firefox?
With Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions, the SVS application virtualization technology from Symantec™ further protects your PC by containing Firefox – and everything you do on the Web! – in a “virtual layer”

did you hear about this fantastic little program - sandboxie
Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.

Benefits of the Isolated Sandbox

    * Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
    * Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.
    * Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.
    * Windows Stays Lean: Prevent wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.

DefenseWall HIPS is best for prevention i think.
