I'm about to install Windows 7 on my Mac. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Never done this before. What's the best approach to security, regarding software & settings. There seems to be so much security software stuff out there, it's getting confusing.

Any advice/pointers/sage observations welcome...

Learn how to use apostrophes.

It isn't hard.

HTH.

Learn not to be a pedantic arse. It isn't hard, etc etc. (I'm a grammar nazi, but not for one typo..!)

OP > A combination of Microsoft Security Essentials and staying off porn sites is free and sufficient.

Your comment on porn sites...I laughed ๐Ÿ˜€

You think that Microsoft Security Essentials is enough?

I'm asking because it seems too easy. I had a feeling that securing my system would involve installing a bunch of varied stuff.

I've got Windows 7 on my iMac, running through Parallels, and installed avast, and zone alarm as I would have done if I was using a PC, and not a Mac.

All seems to be working fine, but then, I seldom fire up Windows 7.

[edit - now with a few more apostrophes just to spice things up a bit]
