Generally running windows in a vm for vulnerable apps, only running trusted software, and keeping AV and programs patched is sufficient. You're overdoing things a tad, I think.


(Oh, and smart computing is more important than any gimmicks. Know what best practices are for safe computing and follow them. 90% of security failures are a result of human error. Any system badly configured, badly managed, and inadequately protected will be easy pickings.)
