[QUOTE="pithlyx, post: 1082009, member: 110513"] I try to be security forward as much as i can but sometimes the download button was for `randomfile23_425_316243_6426141326_135135134_15313.exe` and not `usefulTool.exe` or sometimes the useful tool just feels off and makes me worry about my computer ... or the developer's mental state, but I'm not a therapist so I cant do anything about the ladder. I see from a lot of people that with good browsing habits you really only need windows defender, which knowing what I know is mostly true. That being said if i did want a small extra layer of protection or at least detection for either harmful files or potential viruses/malware already on my computer. I don't want anything too intrusive with pop ups and the like (looking at you avg) If its a one time purchase then I will look into it (but free keeps the bills payed on time) Not resource intensive (again avg you are killing me and my pc) Or am i still just overthinking it and fearing the monsters under my cpu?
