[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 774975"] It's definitely not a myth. Part of the problem is that (especially on security forums) there is so much fear that is generated (at times) people think that the more programs/extensions they have the more protected they will be. Also, people tend to create bad habits becuase they think that their security program(s)/setup will protect them 100%, which is not true and will never be true as no product/setup is 100% fool proof. You have to have a good balance between your security program(s) and good habits in order to be truly safe online IMHO. I agree with this 100% Having safe habits is very important to any security setup. Adding more and more programs/extensions isn't going to make you safer, all it does is potentially create more stability issues and if they conflict with one another, actually make you less safer. Also the vast majority of security "suites" are more then enough by themselves. As you said, one needs to take the time to learn what it can and cannot do, and fill in the gaps from there if there are any. [/QUOTE]
