[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 933519, member: 90494"] I spent a lot of time today and last night reading about different AV's. None are perfect and no AV will block or catch everything. I have decided to continue using WD but today I downloaded [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER]'s configure tool and set it on High. I also use UBO on default settings and the Webmail Adblocker extension to stop Yahoo email ads and that's it for me on this laptop. I removed Trafficlight and will rely on Smartscreen since Edge is the main browser I use. I ran some Smartscreen tests from [URL="https://demo.wd.microsoft.com/"]Home - Microsoft Defender Testground[/URL] and it appears to work like it should. I enabled the MS Defender Browser Protection extension on Chrome, but I don't really use Chrome very often. So far after tinkering around online for a good while WD with Configure Defender is working out fine, I have seen no browser slowdowns or any other problems. I am going to stop worrying about AV's now and trust MS and my own common sense and safe habits online. Thanks everyone for your input on this. Also Thanks to [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER], ConfigureDefender is a great utility. C.H. [/QUOTE]
