Dual boot Linux/Windows, i mainly use Lubuntu for surfing, and Windows only for gaming and others :D

No Real Time AV module installed,
Just a weekly scan with one random of the following scanner:
[MBAM Free - HitmanPro - DrWeb CureIt! - Eset Online Scanner]
(yeah, random, that's funny) :D

I'm using Chromium browser (not GoogleChrome), and receiving continues daily updates and fixes through "Chromium Auto-Updater v1.8". :)


Other installed Software:
-CCleaner
-Foxit PDF Reader
-7zip
-Spotify
-InfraRecorder
-LibreOffice
-Skype.

Suggestions or opinions are welcome! ;)

I just dont need a real time AV :)
I use windows only for gaming, and rarely to surf internet, so i can keep my OS clean, fast and performing ;)
I'm doing the 90% of my activities on linux, except gaming, and that's enough to keep my laptop clean :D
I never plug in windows any usb device, never download any 'risky' software, never install programs that i can run on linux (essentially all my needs are satisfied by linux software) :D

Just dont need a real time av, and want to keep my windows as light as i can :cool:

Foxit PDF Reader any good? I currently just stick to Adobe Reader considering its a lot more well known and trusted. Not that I ever download PDFs? Lol.

I dont like to use AdobeReader for its vulnerabilities and because it's much heavier compared to other alternatives.
You can try SumatraPDF that's a very light pdf viewer, or Foxit too, but keep in mind that its latest versions are bundled with PUPs in the setup, so be careful.

I suggest you Sumatra, let me know your experience with it! :)
