Hi this is Randy! Opened the account a couples of days ago but just decided to say hi now! I consider myself and advanced user and I have a major in Computer Science. Love everything about computers, security and some extra stuff. I'm writing this post using my mac right now but I do use my PC most of the time as well. I don't know if its going to be interesting but I just want to share the security programs I use with my Windows 7 HP Laptop at the moment. Used to have Kaspersky but didn't wanted to pay again because it slows down my system a bit. Now Im running Symantec Endpoint Protection (running excellent so far) and very light on system resources. Running Malwarebytes Premium, Zemana Antilogger, Malwarebytes anti exploit, plus EMET 4.1 as for extras I run hitman pro sometimes to scan and see if it finds anything and Emsisoft Emergency Kit, plus I run Kaspersky Rescue Disk or Norton Power Eraser. That's basically it! System runs smooth with all these. I love to do a lot of security test and I tend to use sandboxie or bufferzone and I know I have a lot of security programs but besides the first ones the rest I run as portables with Comodo Cleaning Essentials. My laptop is an HP i7 extreme with 6 GB RAM and 750 HDD 5200 rpm I hate my hard drive but planning to get an SSD since my mac has one and its really a PLUS. As for extra devices I own 3 laptops with Windows and 2 Macs and 1 ipad 2 and an ipad mini. Love my Galaxy smartphone too.
 
Welcome Randy (randj89)!:) Excuse my late arrival in greeting you, but better late than... you know.:rolleyes: Let me say how reading your introduction was as enjoyable as it was filled with detail!;) I'm also looking forward to reading more threads you shall post, and learning what security, if any, you use on your Galaxy's Android system.:cool:
 
Nice Cats-4_Owners-2 on my Galaxy I use Kaspersky free and malwarebytes I don't run anything on real time because you know battery concerns. But I do a weekly scan with them just to make sure everything is ok ;) I really like to exploit my phone's battery to the maximum and with an antivirus running I don't think it could work as I want!
