Come on, man.

I'm trying for best practices here. Not running as Admin. Backup of the new machine. I'll down the AV software, update the out-of-the-box OS, down two application programs and air gap it. It's a big-ticket item and I want to protect it.

I spent 2 years in the Windows Antivirus queue at Symantec, helping the victims of Gate's and Ballmer's perfidy. The rest was helping Mac owners.

And as for staying away from shady websites, I've inadvertently clicked on links were on Ecomodder that took me to Facebook.
