Thanks to both interviewers and the interviewee for the depth and breadth of coverage.

The recommendation of cloud back up cannot be over-emphasised. The easy of availability of one’s backed up data is probably the biggest win for it.

The one thing I still feel requires a bit more mention is the efficacy ( or lack thereof ) of free anti-virus software such as Microsoft Security Essentials that are so freely available nowadays. There is an inclination to think there is safety in them, at least at the minimum end of the security spectrum.
