Neil's Security Config

[Neil McNicol]

I think that's the lot!
After 'TwinHeadedEagle' assisted me in cleaning up my system, I have heeded his advice and updated my security! (26/10/14).

Hello, Neil.. Thanks for sharing your config..
It isn't stated on Extensions, but you should consider adding an adblocker (maybe uBlock), WOT and HTTPS Everywhere. Also, I'm not a fan of MSE, but if you practice your common sense, you are OK with that.
Other than that, it looks good.

Spybot is obsolete, you have MBAM and it perform better. but if you like it , keep it

Thanks for the advice. I will be a 'happy bunny' when I can rid my computer of this nasty "Go Save" malware.

there is a free extension we use at my home that securely encrypts your password, protecting against key loggers, and particularly increasing the safety of any monetary transaction you conduct while online. It's called LastPass.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Yes, I have entered in ALL 3 Free Giveaway's, fingers crossed I get lucky. I acknowledge the fact that I can do better in the AV protection. I am currently reviewing a lot of post's on this site to come up with the best option. Lastly, I have heard of 'LastPass' and intend to download and install it in the not too distant future.
Thanks for your time, it is truly appreciated.
