Hello, Neil.. Thanks for sharing your config..
It isn't stated on Extensions, but you should consider adding an adblocker (maybe uBlock), WOT and HTTPS Everywhere. Also, I'm not a fan of MSE, but if you practice your common sense, you are OK with that.
Other than that, it looks good.

Thanks for the advice. I will be a 'happy bunny' when I can rid my computer of this nasty "Go Save" malware.

Hi Neil McNicol. It's nice having you with us on the forums here.:)
A noteworthy Anti-virus (among the many favorites here) is called ESET. In fact, I just updated our NOD 32 Version to 8 on our own Windows 7 SP 1!;):D
There just happens to be a Free Giveawayo_O for the twin AV to ours which you can enter here
Who knows? You might just be one of the lucky winners for a whole year!;) I just came here from entering myself!:p:D ..and in the meantime, you can read all about it and even download a 30 day trial.:):)Either way, You get to decide!:rolleyes:
Thanks for sharing you configuration with us. Oh!
..just one more thing (besides some of the great advice our member/friends have already imparted)
there is a free extension we use at my home that securely encrypts your password, protecting against key loggers, and particularly increasing the safety of any monetary transaction you conduct while online.:cool: It's called LastPass.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Yes, I have entered in ALL 3 Free Giveaway's, fingers crossed I get lucky. I acknowledge the fact that I can do better in the AV protection. I am currently reviewing a lot of post's on this site to come up with the best option. Lastly, I have heard of 'LastPass' and intend to download and install it in the not too distant future.
Thanks for your time, it is truly appreciated.
Regards
Neil
