Default Finally Dumping Micros**t and need wise advice

It is really just as easy to avoid keeping anything you are worried
about off of your "browsing" PC and keep it well backed up. Do things
like your taxes on your air gapped machine. Most "hacks" are usually
things you clicked on and opened that you should not have.



Sort of hard to do taxes on an air gapped machine as the tax program
needs many updates. I use a computer to pay many bills, so hard to keep
that off the internet. I do use some external hard dirves for storage of
pix and other things I do not want to use. Thinking of switching to a
usb drive as the price keep comming down. Often burn them to a DVD.
Hard for a hack to mess that up.
