Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 774069, member: 19756"] I usually use a free antivirus like the one from Bitdefender and a free version of a firewall like the one from Sphinx. I have to set the firewall to disable or enable (sometimes temporarily) some software, especially when updating. For the browser, I use addons like uBlock Origin and NoScript plus a few more, but usually in non-default mode, so I have to make adjustments for some websites because videos or some parts of pages won't show up. Anything else, like the free version of MalwareBytes, is used for manual scanning. Beyond that, I have several backups scheduled: one full with periodic increments to an external HD, auto backups of some folders to the cloud, and a periodic system backup to one of the internal HDs.
