It's a phrase that causes dread in the hearts and minds of many a security professional, including myself.
The firewall is on and tightly configured, AV is is installed .. all the usual precautions are in place but inevitably, somehow, every few months, the system becomes infected.
With three family laptops in the house ... well I think you see where this is going.
My wife and kids have been resistant to move to linux systems so I've been considering running a linux hosts with Windows VMs that I just revert to snapshot as needed.
I know I'm not the only one who is in this situation so if you have a better solution, send it in and I'll add it to the diary.
If you're in the same boat that I am, check back as someone may have a solution for you.
Oh, and, uh .. in addition to fixing the laptop, I have a honey-do list so I may take a bit to get back to you, but I will.
Anyone know how to install a built in dishwasher?)
