Worst-case Scenario
Lockedby santeewelding · about 14 years ago
Is that my door is blown and breached. Agents with MP5s take me one way, and the computer another — both to secrete and violate with intrusive inspection.
My anti-malware is not up to this.
What is?

capabilities of what any anti-malware can do, of course.
So, in that worst case scenario, you need about two well-armed and highly-trained commandos on guard outside the premises and two more inside.
You probably want them to be unobtrusive, perhaps in “plain clothes” instead of a uniform, although uniformed personnel have a deterrent effect. So would a stronger door, but it shouldn’t be stronger than the walls and the shutters that quite rapidly move into place to cover the windows when an approaching threat is detected.
Assuming that each 4-man team works an 8-hour shift, there are three shifts per day, and each team has two consecutive days off-duty per week, then you would need at least twenty bodyguards with perhaps one or two more available as “backup” if someone is unavailable for duty.
Of course, the defenses depend upon just how many enemies you have and what resources that they could feasibly have available to them. I would not expect nuclear warheads, but remember 9/11.
There are also worse threats, perhaps, than enemy agents that kidnap you while others steal your computer — nerve gas, for example. Or an earthquake, a firestorm or global warming and climate change. 🙁

In these matters one must avoid fingering the beads of security.

But, if ‘they’ want you they’re going to root you out of there or just blow the whole thing in on top of you and sift through the rubble for your corpse and your dead pc.
I recommend compliance with the law. It’s too tough to remove bloodstains.

As you imply, all the helpful tactics can be defeated.
Clean underwear, though — now, that would be a shift to strategy, wouldn’t it?

Relevance is a relative, which you aptly put as a question.
If you are asking yourself, I can’t answer. If you are asking me, the answer should be obvious: I put it here, and here it stays.

with a remote detonator that uses a virtus to activate the detonator when the user presses the enter key?

Become totally unobtrusive. Sell all your possessions including your computer. Move to a cave. Live off of lizards & rats. The agents with MP5s will leave you alone. The social workers… I dunno
BTW: leave yourself at least one change of clothes, clean or not. 🙂
