[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 978957, member: 32260"] These are questions without easy answers. Generally, If you are going to be infected then you need more security (joke). :) According to the AV vendors, all you need is a good AV. Most people on MT will probably agree that on the well updated Windows 10 one can do some things to be effectively safer, for example: [LIST=1] [*]Develop some safe habits (probably the most important for security). [*]Learn how to recognize scam and phishing attempts. I do not think only about the scam & phishing techniques but rather about psychology. The attackers usually try to convince people about easy profits or about something that is important for the targeted victims. [*]Accept that your security software is not for saving you when installing cracks and pirated software. [*]Use slightly more security layers than the rest of the world and accept that more layers means also less convenience. [*]Additional security is also required If you use popular vulnerable software like MS Office, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc. [*]Learn how to be protected when doing risky things like visiting DarkNet, etc. [/LIST] Point 4 can mean different things for different people. The happy clickers, casual users, and children will require more security. The cautious MT members would probably need only a good AV, but many of them will apply point 4 anyway. [/QUOTE]
