@Malakke, thank you for sharing your configuration. I agree with frogboy, '..it looks quite good'. Plus CCleaner is among my favorite apps (I use their portable vers). It's safe enough to use every session.:)
I also agree with FireShootSK's suggestion to use Sandboxie. As you can see by what looks like a big kite without a tail on my signature below, it's something I believe in. It's also free, and if my wife can get used to using it all the time, I know your family can too!:D
Like a rain coat protecting you from the elements, you'll only need to remove it (not use it) when you wish to keep changes like browser updates or updating extensions. Using a sandbox is a good way to 'test drive' extensions as they'll 'disappear' when the sandbox is deleted. Here is where your can read more about & download it:
An excellent method of securing your privacy with encryption security for passwords is the free extension / or universal app, LastPass:
(For added privacy in Chrome..)
  1. Click the Chrome menu

    on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Scroll to the bottom, & click Show advanced settings.
  4. In the "Privacy" section, click the Content settings button.
  • Check the box "Block third party cookies & site date"
  • Mark the circle "Keep site date only until you close your browser"

Nothing less, nothing more. That's an enough configuration

Optional suggestion: Since its a shared account if you have confident to the person who use another account then no problem on current configuration unless create a LUA/Guest so everything must have your permission on any programs to execute.

Hi guys. I've always loved Emsisoft and Eset. However, i have several problems in my desktop computer with Eset Smart Security 9 and W10, even after a fresh install. Issues were especially when i tried to switch from one user account to another (freezes, grey and black screen hangouts and not good performance). I've no time for wonder what's the problem, so i've uninstalled Eset, install Emsisoft Antimalware and the problems were gone. Now i have Emsi, Zemana on demand and Ublock Origin in Chrome. I'd like to improve phishing and malware protection when browsing, so i wonder which addon for Chrome could fill my needs (Wot, Bitdefender Traffic Light, ...).

Thanks

Edit: solved my problems with ESET and W10. Back to ESET

Anti-Phishing Test August 2015 - AV-Comparatives

Emsi always has been weak in this matter...
