Thank you for sharing your configuration, Karol.:):)

LastPass is my favorite add-on!:)
Palemoon is among my favorite browsers, although it shares the podium with Chrome & Cyberfox (all are portable, and installed on external flash drives, while PM & CF are both 64 bit versions!).
Windows 7 is also the favorite, and more popular OS, in our home. This means 'I' spend most of my time on Windows 8.1:rolleyes: ..but watch out!! Linux is coming on strong.;)

My recommendations:
  • UAC, most members will swear by it as I do. Use it set (at least) to "Notify when programs are about to make changes to my system", especially if you wish to keep your system safe (& yourself smiling like this >>> :D)
  • Browse in Sandboxie. Like a space suit that protects an astro../cosmo-naut thus keeping them alive, a sandbox duplicates an artificial environment that protects your system, & It's free!:D www.sandboxie.com
(Update)
I do not use UAC and even to Sandboxie I'm not convinced, I have CCleaner, only that I did not write, I'm sorry
Karol Kurczuk,
  1. CCleaner is magnificent!:p
  2. We respect your decision which, in fact, does not have to remain final.;) :):)
  3. If you'd rather not use Sandboxie, and you insist UAC is not for you, how about Time Freeze?:cool: You can read about, and have the option to try it here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Toolwiz-Time-Freeze.shtml
Thanks!

Any specific reason that lead you to disable UAC, which is one of the most efficient Security feature in-built in Windows ?
Also, what is "Teamviewer Speed Internet Accelerator" exactly ?

I turned off UAC because it annoyed me, but I realized that it is needed, Teamviewer is an application to assist remote and internet accelerator speeds up my wifi,

Good decision. I know what Teamviewer is, trust me. And ... I'm sorry but there's no "speed accelerator" for the wireless ? I didn't even know that Teamviewer publisher had a such application ?
