[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 833652, member: 75834"] You flatter me, but I can assure you I'm not. You need only look at my history, to see me asking questions about vulnerable processes. That said, not all security researchers work for software companies. But none of them will tell you that AV + safe browsing is enough. If you want to question them, do so at your own risk. I'm aware of one person on MT who worked for Blue Ridge, and I haven't seen him in months. Other than AppGuard, the product I recommend most is Comodo FW Free with Cruel Sister's settings. What compensation do I get for promoting free software, and without an affiliate link? What about AV employees trying to downplay the ineffectiveness of their products? We [I]all[/I] know that's happening, with AV vendors buying tests, or getting notifications before/during a test, or pulling out after they see their results. Whom does [USER=66256]@Local Host[/USER] work for? I did say the issue was on the local news, so it was probably an attack on Comcast (my ISP at the time). That said, try telling an 80-year-old woman with AV and innocuous surfing habits, that the $400 missing from her checking account following a keylogger infection from visiting NYT, is statistically insignificant. I’m sure that’ll garner you a great review! This is the first correct assertion that you made in this post. You may have noticed that I posted about HTTPS Everywhere, as well as WebRTC Leak Prevention for Chrome. What I may not mention as frequently is VPN, mainly because I don't trust any free VPN services. That said, I use NordVPN. If money were no object, I would use ExpressVPN. That said, what privacy do you have if you get infected? In 1995, most infections came from porn sites, not legitimate sites. I prefer to stay on topic. Those who wish to accuse me of being a troll, notice how many people have come out of the woodwork to attack me. This isn't about propriety, this is about religion. When you attack somebody's security apparatus, then you erode their sense of security. That's what this is all about. Well, I'm sorry. I'm not going to discredit what I know just because people are attacking me. And if you're scared, there's a simple solution for that (and attacking me is not it). [/QUOTE]
