RE: My security!
Thank you! I use do not track me.Adblock isn't needed for me as It may take the same time for the page to load comparing the time needed without the addon (read it somewhere on the net). As for passwords, I remember them or let the browser remember them, is this a considerable risk?

Add TrafficLight from Bitdefender. Just get the addon. The desktop version has not been updated for long.
TrafficLight is just some extra security without compromising on your browsing speed.

RE: My security!
I would think that it is a risk.LastPass allows you to store all your passwords which are secured by a single password.You can then have lastpass auto fill and or auto login in your browser.Much safer than leaving them stored in a browser.

Is this a different PC to your other Config using Kaspersky?

Two days ago I changed my security configuration for less resources usage and a faster startup/login. My new configuration is as follows:
-Windows Defender with realtime pr. on (Win8)
-UAC in full protection.
-Windows smartscreen.
-Internet explorer 10 (main browser) with smartscreen and EPM enabled (64 bit & appcontainer). Maybe I'll change to firefox or chrome as IE is a bit laggy but unfortunately I won't have EPM and smartscreen. Is it a big problem?
-Changed to standard account from administrator account for everyday tasks.
-Norton DNS
-I have Malwarebytes free and Hitman pro installed for on demand scans. Maybe I 'll install EAM free when hitman pro trial mode expires.
I believe Windows defender is not crap as many say (ok, it's not the best av but it's ok). Don't you think it's strange that after one or two months Win8 is released, Av-test.org did not certified MSE? Windows defender in Win8 is sth that would reduce big AV companies sales unless they say something bad to PC users about it. From now on I do not trust any of the av testing companies or even virus samples that sites like virussign give.
If I am wrong please correct me xD

You should be fine with Google Chrome.
- Sandboxing techniques (Firefox lacks this)
- Malware Download Protection
- Malware and Phishing Protection
- 3rd-party Silent Extensions are disabled
- Google notifies you before you permit any extensions and what it can access
- Google Incognito mode has all extensions disabled, unless explicitly allowed
SmartScreen covers the whole of Windows, in Windows 8.
EPM is enabled by default in IE10 (Metro) mode, IE10 (Desktop) can be toggle ON/OFF.
Malwarebytes Free should be sufficient, so you should don't need EAM.

Thank you very much, it's nice that Chrome has sandboxing techniques!Earth said:
Unfortunately I noticed the following problem with WD. I downloaded an application (Pale moon browser) via firefox, and when clicked the entry (firefox downloads) to run it it did nothing. Antimalware service executable showed around 9% CPu usage and when closed ff, it's exe remained in task manager (running) until I force-closed it. Also After this I could not run the file via windows explorer. Finally, I disabled WD and all was ok with the file. What's weird is that other downloaded files via firefox could open normally. All these did not happen with Chrome. I did the same procedure on another pc and the same things occured.. It's a pity 'cause I thought that WD was not buggy at all :/
A BB like Mamutu is very effective, note that it is incorporated in EAM paid (the main reason why i use EAM)

I just installed EAM to test it, but I find it heavy, It causes several seconds delay before showing the login screen (Win 8) and it slows down PC performance. My system has 4Gb of memory at 1333Mhz an AMD955 CPU (4 core) and HDD for system and files. I have Kaspersky installed but startup is disabled, so I suppose it's not sth that has to do with it.
