Quality information raco, thanks!! I decided not to go for it.

Could you recommend some big hosting companies for me to rent a server? Anything in particular I should look for while choosing one?

Now just have to find out how to run a VPN server on it

Syndr0m,

Maybe you can try http://dada.pro/, they operate under different brand names in several european countries. I had a VPS with them that was very cheap (5 euros per month) and worked well (a VPS provides somewhat the same service as a real dedicated server, is much cheaper, but the setup of a VPN server might be more difficult -sometimes even impossible- on a VPS).

What you should pay attention to :
- the country the server is located in
- the terms of service, to check if what you want to do with your server is allowed
- traffic/bandwidth limit
- whether the server is a VPS or a real server

That's all I can think of. I hope I don't forget something.

Hi,

like suggested I use router Linksys WRT54GL but it goes "only" up to 54 Mbps download and my connection is 100 Mbps, so must buy a new one and would need some recomendations, which router would be OK?

Thak You.

I've just installed eset security system and malware bytes. Is that a good combo?

Eset is fine.

Great post. Many thanks

If you want to run a file you are a little unsure about is it possible to do this is in sandboxie or some similar software or is the only option a virtual machine?

SB should be safe enough as it runs the file in an isolated environment, AFAIK. Make sure you scan it with your anti virus software before that, just in case.

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in this thread, so I'll add that to make KeePass easier to use in Firefox there is an add-on called KeeFox that you can install in Firefox that will automagically fill in password fields for you using your KeePass database (if it is unlocked, otherwise it prompts you to open/unlock it).

But how do i open a single file in Sandboxie, like a doc or a video?

Another thing:

PUB.Casino infection according to malwarebyes
and
[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell 32.dll,-21787
which opens randomly by itself in notepad

Is nothing to worry about according google. Right?

Yeah +1 to this. There's also the same thing available for Chrome:

Im thinking about buying a new computer.

I have followed OP on every point for years except the encyption and
I havent had a single problem with infections.
I am very grateful for that.

And i will ofc continue doing this on my new laptop.

From a security point of view is there any difference buying
this PC

Acer laptop

(Its in swedish but its one of the better laptops - i7, SSD, 18.4" etc)

or buying a macbook pro
17 ", 2,4 GHz Quad-Core, Intel Core i7, 4 GB 1333 MHz

If I install windows on the macbook pro i assume there is no difference between the two with regards to safety.

But if i dont install windows is the macbook pro more secure?

Also; Is it possible to run the safety programs in OP on OS X Lion?

And is it possible to run the necessary poker programs like
HEM, tablescanner, the poker clients - Ipoker, Stars, Ongame, SvS, party poker etc?
