[FlashDrive (Poppy)]

I am running Win7 Ultimate 64bit.
i7 2600k CPU @4Ghz
16GB G.Skill Ripjaws PC2133 Ram
nVidia GTX560ti 1GB DDR5 Video Card
1 x Wildfire Patriot 120GB SSD ( C: DRIVE )
1 x Wildfire Patriot 240GB SSD for Gaming
1 x OZC-Vertex 2 120GB SSD for FSX
1 x 2TB WD Sata 3 for Data and Backup.

I built this system myself ... to the spec's I wanted .. far cheaper than buying from HN or DS or G Guy's etc.

Hardware Firewall at the Modem/Router
Software Firewall on the PC ( keep an eye on what wants access to the internet )
Avast Antivirus ( free edition )

Don't seem to be plagued by any resource hogs ... runs nicely ... but running FSX with HD Textures on the Aircraft can be ' taxing ' on 'Frame Rates ' .. although you can ' tweak ' this in the settings.

Antivirus is running all the time...except when installing programmes ... will turn it off to prevent any ' false positives ' which can cause corruption of installations.... then turn it back on again afterwards.

I also have Malware/Trojan Scanners which are only used when needed to ' run a check ' from time to time.

So far ... no infiltrations have been detected ... although my Firewall ' tells me ' several attempts have taking place to gain access to my Computer.

This Computer is always connected to the WWW ... unless I ' block ' all internet traffic in/out ... engaging the Internet Lock.
Nothing get's in...Nothing get's out.
