I'm not sure as I don't use Chrome due to privacy issues. Could be an extensions that's not on Opera or FF. Norton seems to work fine.

Dont know if firefox have different like addon, but in chrome it just adjust safe search , does that mean they only show links without possible infection? Forticlient is nice, but slowing my network. Neustar is blocking more sites than norton , so im fine with it for now
Chrome Web Store: Norton Safe Web

- Removed avast
- Removed vivaldi

+ added comodo internet security
+ google chrome + nanoblocker, nanodefender, adguard, malwarebytes browser extension, windows defender browser protection, norton safe web

Reason im using nano + adguard is that im using adguard as actual adblock and nano as anti adblock killer

This is my default and i just went to back at it. I really dont feel like adding voodooshield or osarmor when i have hips on in comodo im feeling pretty secure

Edit: to avoid spam, i post this here. I have added k9 webprotection back since i had disconnection problems with it. For now i havent noticed any and im gonna try go with this conf for now

I have added this too, just curious why norton doesnt have this extension on their own site?
Is This Website Safe | Website Security | Norton Safe Web
Seems to have only safe search and home page extensions
Also downloads on from chrome store are only 35k, how comes?
The addon is working well tho
because this extension only shows for norton users. It is hidden for the others. Norton safe search = norton safe web + search advisor/reputation checker
Norton products by default have a half-baked web protection so they require norton safe web to be fully functional
Seems zemana doesnt like neustars dns
neustar recursive isn't a very popular DNS so zemana may not have signature for it

These will conflict. Use one or the other, not both.

Zero reason to use this with either Comodo product installed.
Yup noticed it pretty fast.

Anyways sophos free + comodo fw should be enough, the webfilter is decent on sophos

I was thinking about immunet as cloud backup, but no idea is it worth it. thats why i tried comodo cloud first as it was stated on comodos forum that it shouldnt conflict with main antivirus

The reason im trying sophos now is parental/web filter, since k9 have too many issues and i had to remove it

Adding anything else is unnecessary; it'll just add to the performance impact with no tangible benefit to your system's security.
Sophos's signatures will take care of any known threats and Comodo will sandbox anything unknown. In the unimaginable event that something got past both then you'd still have Comodo's VirusScope there to detect malicious behaviour.

Cheers. Any idea does sophos settle down a bit, since it have 250 mb memory usage right now wich is pretty high compared to other av programs

I think the best solution for antivirus with CF is 360 TS. Very lite and works perfect with CF. Just block the promoutil for less ads
Have heard of its great bb, but some people avoid those chinese companies. Im gonna stay with sophos to see if it gets bit lighter and maybe check out that 360 after.

Actually that total security from 360 looks good, so many tools , could check it tonight tbh
