Hi Tony

Thank you :) bitdefender seems to be fine havn't had any issues,
it scans abit quicker then the 2014 i think
nothing shows up in the scans

will prob do a test on a vm at some point to see what it picks up

what antivirus are you running and why

Hi Artaz

I was using Bitdefender 2015 but could not connect to Google Chrome, plus it was blocking my internet connection. I am now using Kaspersky 2015 which I really like. The reason is I like all the features included, like application control, system watcher etc.,

Tony :)

mmm i wonder why could not connect to Google Chrome, i never use Google Chrome but works fine on my friends
did you have comodo free firewall installed

my old setup was comodo firewall and free avast
i uninstalled both of them before installing defender

comodo left behide a item in my wireless network connections
even after a uninstall ,
so i uninstalled that item manually and it worked right away :)

il test it out at some point cause im never settled on just one antivirus
there always up and down on the detect ratio

i like the features you said it has whats the firewall like on it
or are you useing a standalone one

I'm using their internet security suite 2015. I've heard that the firewall is very good!

No I don't use a VPN I have no need to. You should give Kaspersky a go, it's very good. Bitdefender tends to have a lot of bugs

Artaz, I liked Privazer, Macrium Reflect (..reminded me I should probably use it for our Windows 7 ..Now!:D) and your configuration as a whole.:cool:
Thank you for sharing it.

Consider reading about and trying Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free here:
Probably the most used add-on extension in our home is the password manager/generator called LastPass. It uses security encryption, is like having an extra/secure bookmarks option (vault), and has made life much easier for my safer yet (sometimes) lazy self!:p:rolleyes: (choose the non-binary file download.)
Among members' favorite free tools here which enhances both system performance and privacy is CCleaner.
Finally (..for now, lol!:D) if you have not yet entered our Free Giveaway
for the Kaspersky Internet security 2015 which Tony Cole endorses,;) you've until 9/25:eek: ...just one day remaining!
Update: You are not alone. My wife suspended her Facebook account. I call MT my other Facebook, and joined Twitter (it's so easy, I used the link on the thread) just for the purpose of entering our Giveaways!:p:D When you join o_O I'll follow you on Twitter!:p:rolleyes:
