[QUOTE="plat, post: 1021377, member: 74969"] Hey everyone! Have not changed very much in this config as it has served well and machine runs as though nothing is on here. Did lose HitmanPro as it's not worth the money to me anymore. Others like AdwCleaner and Norton do just fine as supplements to Defender's scan. BUT. Two of my passwords (PayPal and AT&T Mobile) were pwned recently. No further damage was done but it was enough to jar my nerves a bit. So, I reviewed my password options and opted to go for a bunch of randomly generated ones using 1Password's generator, make a few changes to each on Notepad and store these offline on my external HDD. I'll then change all my pre-existing ones manually--it's not that many to do anyway. It sounds kind of long and tedious and it prob. is. If anyone has an interest in a free generator, here is the one I used: [URL='https://1password.com/password-generator/']1Password[/URL] Just not going the Password Manager route, and you can't make me. 😬 [/QUOTE]
