Know your system, if you see any suspicious process/names google it.
Install a adware/virus shield and make sure the option to alert you to any startup/service/system changes.
Even though there are glitches, the game is the most complete gaming experience for me in the past few years.
It has FPS, RPG, adventure elements on space exploration, superb story telling technique, choose your own story, good degree of freedom for exploring, very detailed Sci-fi world, SUPERB dialogs that doesn't bore me because they come with good acting/voice on every single one.
Another thing, if you've played Star Control 2, Mass Effect does it one better by letting you land on some selected planets in 3D(live) and explore it using your vehicle or foot. Each planet has its unique looks and their history explained. The developers give you a list of things to find on the galaxy such as mineral deposits, artifacts and of course hostile action can be found on some of these either from side missions or distress/radio calls. This itself give the game so much extra value from the main mission.
The Codex(galatic encyclopedia) is well implemented where it doesn't shove you with the entire volume to sift through. Instead, it is unveiled as you interact and find new things, experience is gained by finding them, that's one more incentive to collect new knowledge.
Time's up, can't say more on action, and other story elements, lets' just say they're all good. I haven't been excited to play a game when I get home for a while now, this is it and it reminds me of good times.
MS says no back door, *some* terrorist gets stupid and store their data using BitLocker. MS says yes back door, *all* terrorists finds an alternate solution. Very smart of MS/Gov't.

Is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure if the dominate state is having 2 states at the same time, a single state object would seem strange.
