Defender +1

Rather than expect an anti-virus Swiss-Army knife to provide total

safety, I use several different vectors of protection.

1. Defender (and keep it up to date)

2. OpenDNS for DNS resolution

3. CryptoPrevent for Crypto-hijack thwarting

4. A constant, some would say annoying, reminder to all those I support

to never open email attachments that they weren't already expecting to

receive.
