@oldschool - thanks for the suggestions. have to uninstall configure defender. Probably won't use WD as real-time, as I guess Avast in Hardened mode provides better security on a whole, if I need to, I can download it again.

UPDATE :
- uBlock Origin
- Configure Defender (doesn't help with periodic scanning)

+ Netcraft
+ Nano Adblocker
+ Nano Defender
Good updates! I'm also glad that your browsing habits are good as well.

Netcraft is amazing btw for phishing!

/ Disabled MalwareBytes Extension (Some silly issues currently with it flagging new tab, virustotal, and other searches such as youtube, IGN, University site, and more, as Trojan)

+ Back to Avira for now.

UPDATE:

MBAM team seems to have fixed the issue quite quickly therefore i am now back to that :p

How comes you're using Tor if you don't mind me asking?

Honestly, no particular reason. It is just there if i need to browse something securely, for whatever reason, but that will probably be very very rare instances and right now i am not even sure what il use it for :p have not even decided, just got bored and decided to get it

Yeah, definitely. I used to use it last year to just randomly browse the dark web, but some stuff was awfully scary at times :eek:
