Thank you, J Gamez! I'll do that when I get it figured out myself:D I'm switching operating systems and have no idea what I'll keep or toss. I'm not exactly a security guru either, so I don't even know what all I actually want.

Hello & Welcome to MT! :)
I hope you enjoy your stay here.;):D

I'm switching operating systems and have no idea what I'll keep or toss. I'm not exactly a security guru either, so I don't even know what all I actually want.

Maybe we can help, if you can just start with what you already have installed:). Regardless it's completely your decision. Hope to see you more & more.;):D Good luck.:)

Thank you everyone :) Shukla44, right now I'm using a very basic setup with MBAM Pro and Avast free. I'm behind a router of course, and I keep my system/programs updated. Except for one time when my router was attacked, this setup has kept me out of trouble. When I get things settled, I'm planning on grabbing the free version of SandBoxie as well. I doubt I'll keep MBAM around. For one thing I lost the key to it a long time ago, for another its newer IP blocking is more a hassle than a help. My antivirus is up in the air. I'm not sure if I'll keep Avast or perhaps toy around with free AVG again. From recent test results, it is looking better than it had been.
