[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1114868, member: 114717"] There is a person here at MT that uses 40 security browser extensions. All the effort put into customized security by security geeks amounts to nothing more than passing the time. Why? Because if a system is infected one just clean installs the OS and rebuilds the system. Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever come to MT or any other popular security forum and stated (legitimately, provable) that their localhost was infected, hacked or otherwise compromised and they suffered anything more serious than files being encrypted. And that only happened a single time. After decades of testing, the best overall solution is to use the security capabilities shipped with the OS and add as little third party software as possible. Less is way more. And, well, the current trend among the vast majority of young people is that they are technology savvy but security ignorant. Very credible studies have determined that young people think security is not necessary. It is all a nuisance. #SnowflakesAreReal [/QUOTE]
