I just don't log dives
I just thought this might be a good question to ask with the recent increase of malware code being injected to vbulletin boards and with the general risk while surfing the internet..

Personally, Im always on a limited access account with the user access controls active - Or similar for other operating systems.
 
I have decent security on my machine. I have the standard spybot+avg free security setup, I use noscript to block all unnecessary scripts, and I browse smart.
If I am doing something that with "questionable" security implications I use my linux partition or a virtual machine.
