Some reading:
Hello, after reading this poll, I've downloaded KVRT & impressed by it's performance. Does it detect Script based malware & tracking cookies ?

But I have to download it every time so MBAM is better ... i think.

It does detect script based malware, but no tracking cookies.
For that use a good adblocker, block 3rd party cookies and/or clean your browser.
You have to download it again when there is a new version, but KVRT will inform you.
It is one of the best of its kind.

Monthly one time scanning is enough I think... with KVRT

Here is my updated ( as on 28th November 2024 ) computer security configuration. Switched back to ESET Internet Security & I'm happy with it. ESET is my FIRST used paid antivirus ( used ESET NOD32 in the year of 2012 ). First love. I'm planning to upgrade with ESET Smart Security Premium.

I'm planning to install Opera Browser. Any problem if I use Opera browser ?

Feel free to give me advise / suggestion to improve performance / security. Thanks to all .
