Hello @Egyed László ,

  • My advice in this regard would be Eset online scanner along with MBAM.
  • you can add Ccleaner to your Privacy software.
  • you can add Macrium Reflect free/AOMEI Backupper free to your B&R.
  • you can add FF as your second browser.
  • you can add these to your E&P: HTTPS everywhere,WOT,VTchromiser.
Thanks for sharing your config with us.

Fine configuration there ;)

Optional step: Since its a shared you may activate guest account which most of the function will be limited upon the approval of administrator. Or add a Sandboxie on a shared account or just have F-secure AV as password protect to avoid terminating the program by anyone user.

Hello Egyed László. Thank you for sharing your configuration.

I like all your extensions, and agree with @scot's list of suggestions. Last night I'd followed @Sr. Normal's recommendation of PrivaZer!:) Here's the developer's site where you can both download & read more.
I'd opted for the portable version on USB. It appears to be a very thorough cleaner, and thus far looks to be a quality software already endorsed by respected staff & members more knowledgeable than myself.:rolleyes:

As you are familiar with uBlock, I shall mention uMatrix which blocks & graphically identifies Java script as well as many other elements including cookies & images you can see & control whether or not to block temporarily or permanently. Similarly to Ghostery, it does not sacrifice functionality in most cases allowing 1st party cookies by default. It is a greatly marked improvement to it's forefunner, HTTP Everywhere, & blocks what you decide, & (imo) even more than Ghostery.:cool:
Read more and give the extension a try;):
I'm using uMatrix beside uBlock, so Host Files checked on uMatrix w/ a (*) are unchecked on uBlock:
  1. µMatrix hosts file‎
  2. Peter Lowe’s Ad server list‎*
  3. Malware Domain List*
  4. hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers*
  5. Dan Pollock’s hosts file‎*
  • The key is for only uBlock or uMatrix to use the one non-duplicated file!:)
Edit: *Peter Lowe's Ad server list

Thanks for this information sounds very interesting . :)

For Umatrix and ublock coexist , i unmark in ublock which have marked with an asterisk , Peter Lowe’s Ad server list‎ is repeated , do i unmarked it in ublock ?, do I leave it as is ?. I am very happy with Ghostery , but if thou recommend obviously have to try Umatrix .

Thanks friend :)

Hola @Sr. Normal. Thank you for pointing out "Peter Lowe's Ad server list" to my attention! Yes, you are correct by not repeating them.
(Gracias otro vece!):D

PS I am a fan of Ghostery too.:rolleyes: The control & ability to see what uMatrix blocks is a 'different' approach, so disabling one extension while trying the other is a way to test which works best for you.:):)

@Cats-4_Owners-2 thank you my teaching friend . ;) :)

Today I'll prove it . The best thing about MT, for me, is that at 07.00 hours have already taught me something new. And in the most friendly mode. :cool:

Thanks again friend :)

Editing several hours later:

After trying it I decide to leave Umatrix in my computer and remove Ghostery . Why ?,

  • Ethics. It always annoyed me tremendously Ghostrank
  • Avira Browser Safety. I love this extension and simply does not work with Ghostery
  • Allows better control over what happens
Ghostery annulling Avira Browser Safety
