[QUOTE="Soulbound, post: 903427, member: 33155"] I do not endorse overkill setups and this was a discussion I had in the past here in MT. Often than not many people believe they must protect and plug in every hole, when in real world scenarios 70% of the "plugs" are literally pointless. I often use default settings on Security software and yet to be infected. The only time I was infected was posted here in MT which I strongly recommend people to read and post: [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/how-i-got-infected-last-time-thread.57614/[/URL] I change every so often mainly the AV solution because I am lucky enough to have enough connections to have access to quite a few solutions and I prefer Balance of performance and protection over overly protected systems. It does help having several systems I can do the swaps (not VMs). [/QUOTE]
