[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 902458, member: 82776"] The only time I got a malware infection was the malware which came with CCleaner. At that time I only updated my software every once and a while. So it was bad luck (I only updated CCleaner once or twice per year), that I managed to install the infected version. Until Avast free told me that I had installed the infected CCleaner version I was unaware of the infection. I had no clue about security. The explanation of Avast, triggered me to learn something about security (according to Avast free, my data was not stolen, because the malware had not succeeded in the second stage of its intrusion). Next I started to read about security and piling up security programs until my Windows7 gave me a blue screen. So the only time I bricked my system was by using to much security. This bad third-party security software experience is probably also the reason I prefer Windows build-in security (enforced with Configure Defender and Simple Windows Hardening). So I would agree with [USER=63961]@bribon77[/USER] since it accurately describes my experience/leaning curve [/QUOTE]
