Question about Full Armor

I do not recommend Full Armor.  I tried Full Armor about a year ago 
and quickly broke through the security it offered.  I had accidently 
"locked myself out" while testing it and found that through a 
security hole in Netscape, I could execute any program even though 
the icon for the program was "locked".  It was very easy to disable 
the whole thing once File Manager was running.  I suppose that if all 
of the programs you run have no security holes in them, then Full 
Armor might work for you but I recommend looking at the alternatives.
