Noone can guarentee 100% security but we can assure 100% risk acceptance.
for example: i use to go far as changing the file permission of every executables of my computer to r-only and backup to R only to even the one with Administrators privilage... so even in a worst day, a virus runnng with my privilage won't be able to damage the file the straight way! I did practiced many twisted* security configurations. But once in every 6-12 months these things saves me from disaster!!!
Rule: when things has to go wrong, it will go wrong in a worst possible way.
Truly speaking, being little* paranoid in everyday has saved me several times from BIG troubles.
