[QUOTE="Evjl's Rain, post: 833308, member: 51905"] I'm the one who don't like saying good browsing habits because I don't browse safe websites I haven't been infections for at least 10 years despite having that reckless browsing habits because I know what weaknesses my AV has and how to patch them. I ignore overly sophisticated things like exploits,... if I suspect something, I simply throw it into sandboxie, virustotal, online sandbox analysis or inside a virtual machine but it takes a lot of time I have an old PC with first-gen i3, installed Avast free (tweaked with my settings) + Appcheck antiransomware and Syshardener. Install chrome browser + Windows defender browser protection + bitdefender traffilight. More importantly, they don't conflict with each others malwares have to pass through many layers this machine has been using continuously for at least 6 hrs per day for 6 years, never be infected I don't believe in claims although it might be true. Appguard is SRP tool. I don't like any thing like that because they will reduce my productivity. I don't buy computers to overprotect them. I want them to perform smoothly and bug-free anti-exe and SRP simply block. They don't tell you if something is safe or not. If you keep blocking, your apps might be malfunctional and if you take a risk and allow it, you might be screwed if a hack comes from a good websites, it's very hard to detect and block sufficiently. However, I can suggest you 1 solution -> put your browser into Sandboxie or Comodo Firewall's sandbox (better than sandboxie but much less functional) => your are extremely unlikely to get any infection because they can't escape the sandbox in the first place if you say some malwares can escape => it will become an endless discussion [/QUOTE]
