Shady's Powerhouse

All other enhancements welcome!

PS: I don't use Sandboxing software and leave it to my brain. Also, I do not use any Password Manager to my browsers and just use an Ad Blocker.

HTTPS Everywhere - FAQ

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox and Chrome extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure.

It should not affect your web browsing experience, only to make it more secure. However, if it does break some websites, check their FAQ for more info.

You may add Web of Trust (WOT) if necessarily as a community based ratings for every sites visited.

EDIT: Changed the Windows Defender with Avast Free. I noticed that it didn't update automatically and I also had to check Windows Defender here and there just to get a definition update. I need something that updates automatically because I do a lot of gaming and have no time to check for updates every now and then.

From all AV's you could setup a schedule for updates in silent mode, the quickest as possible is hourly updates.

You can manually schedule updates for 30 min intervals with Windows Task Scheduler. Read this guide- http://www.winhelp.us/configure-windows-defender-in-windows-8.html

Thanks.

Thanks littlebits but I decided to pay for Nod32 instead LOL. It was an extremely cheap renewal fee for Nod32 so I took it.

As long as you are satisfied that's good.
I have always liked Nod32, used it in the past but now I only use freeware security products.

Thanks.

Do you have a password manager for Firefox?

Do you have a password manager for Firefox?

No and I don't intend to because I don't need one I guess?

True, you don't need one, but it's always handy having one. If you use different passwords for different sites, makes it easier to access and get them.

 

[jamescv7]

Its an optional for you, the difference only is a password manager composed of a generator to obtain strong random codes and log in as ease way but again its your choice.

UPDATE: Added Sandboxie to test my AV on my host machine every now and then.
