JakeXPMan's current Desktop config

[Sr. Normal]

I like your config., @JakeW7Man

I admit that I was surprised to see an antivirus of 2011. Perhaps it would be good to try other lights alternatives like Panda.

Thanks for sharing it.

Good update, bro! and obviously thanks for sharing!

I just added "HTTPS everywhere" for Firefox / Opera

I havent done anything with Antivirus yet, the factory or refurbished settings have (2011 Norton disabled limbo) alongside the Windows Defender. It's been a couple months, time is near for a change of pace.

Very nice @JakeXPMan! I'm confident you'd secured it with a super deal. My wife wanted to know where you found it after I'd mentioned you're sporting a new refurbished HP with Windows 7!

I'll recommend adding HTTPS Everywhere to encrypt communications (where available) HTTPS Everywhere which I just now happened to do for Firefox (on linux).

Once again, nice new desktop. Way to go!

Edit: The banner below speaks for itself, but here's a link for Sandboxie too which includes videos, reviews, and tutorials, as well as the free program download itself!

Update
Installed HTTPS everywhere addon on both Firefox Opera. Thanks Cats!
Downloaded Sandboxie!

Oh your wife, hello missus.

You can find lots of good PC deals online

I got it with a ''buy it now'' from eBay,... $49.99 + 20 to ship. Now the CPU/GPU are for basic PC use, but works great for stuff like youtube or simple app games. It had 500 GB HDD 2.0 Athlon II CPU and 3GB RAM with recovery partition Windows 7. So it was just what I needed and the price was more then good.

The was a budget model, and retailed at $401$
3 out of 5 stars on Cnet.

and found one on eBay for $50$ in 2015

I'm going to quote my wife as her words reflect my thoughts exactly:

"Wow!! What a Deal!!!".

Yeah it not bad, the humble PC specs are why it was snatched up quickly,... and I got it. It runs very fast though, it has a very good motherboard, low watt but still soild CPU and good amount of RAM.

I have 1.7GB left while running Windows 7, a movie, and firefox with add ons. Runs smoothly, no slowdowns. Boot up is only like 17 seconds long.

Get this Cat, it still smells new-like
The guy put fresh in the description, they wasn't kidding!

I never had a new smell with a PC before, thought that was cars... lol

*Laughing* Well, you won't have to buy new tires for it.

Now I'm jealous, JakeXPMan,
...though not quite green with envy because I'm excited & very happy for you!!

you are still protected with MBAM + NIS (even if not activated), the point of my stamp

 

[Cats-4_Owners-2]

I agree with @Umbra that you are protected @JakeXPMan with what you have, especially while browsing in a sandbox!
Perhaps you might choose to update the version of your trial, & you wouldn't have to wait for them. Today, in fact, I'd started their 30 day trial for Norton Security 2015 here:

• Download Free Trials of Norton Security Software | Norton

..and I can already tell you now, I'll be keeping it!

Okay sounds good, don't think I don't appreciate that now I like my stamp!

"..about time the jealous is on the OTHER side.." made me laugh a lot!!
Thanks for the compliments which come from one whom keeps the Spirit, if not the use, of XP alive & in your name.
