Why? Google is amazing, except the privacy part.seems you missed the last line in my configuration post :
nothing...absolutely nothing from google!!!
i used to be a hard core fan of the old opera...but i dumped opera ever since opera went from presto to webkit.
i would rather use mozilla's firefox than a browser that even looks like google chrome.
i do use mozilla firefox once in a while.

Let me agree here... Your hate to Google is understandable.. (I am a hater, too
)But don't forget their browser is based on Chromium, something completely different.. It has nothing to do with Google.. Chromium-based browsers are not bad at all and are quite safer..
sherlock holmes too was amazing
you belittle the privacy part...invasion of privacy is the main reason i detest google.

Everybody invades your privacy. Your antivirus (no matter whichever you use), your websites (including MalwareTips ; court's orders) , your TV, your ISP, your co-workers, and...yourself.sherlock holmes too was amazing

You should as well as hide from the govt, because they're the mastermind behind privacy invasion.

which is why i prefer windows mobile over android & ios.

There are almost no apps for Windows Mobile. Why do you trust M$? It's a little ludicrous so say, but I've never owned a legit copy of any Windows I've ever owned. Minus Windows 3.1, which was my first Windows PC.
I'll try to get a summary of what's happening here.
Why aren't you upgrading to Windows 8.1 yet ?
What are your computer specs ?
What was your last known malware infection ?
Why aren't you running Internet Explorer 11 yet ? I thought it came by default under Windows 8 ?
You're running way too many Antiviruses at the same time, altought Windows Defender is more of an Antimalware.

IE11 requires Windows 8.1
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/internet-explorer/ie-11-worldwide-languages
Love how Internet Explorer 11 is available under Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, but not Windows 8.
i personally think windows 8.1 should have been just a service pack rather than a whole new operating system.
in windows 8.1 i see no real temptation besides internet explorer 11.
are you saying MalwareTips snoops on my data ? does MalwareTips invade my privacy when i am online ?
If you want to receive security updates in the future, I strongly suggest you to update to Windows 8.1 as Windows 8 support will be dropped way sooner than expected because of Windows 8.1.
Will precise it in the future.
