[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 54678, post: 769543"] Well, kind of ... for now I`m relying mostly on my old ways to secure my two computers, because I`ve been very very busy, but at least my antivirus license (Kaspersky) reports no malware activity up to now (perhaps because it missed stuff, or because there was no malware activity in the first place). But I took some time to investigate the proposed solutions in this thread. - Backup: for now i have very few important files (generated only on the pc for important stuff), so I decided to keep this manual through a USB stick (for now). - Browser (uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript Suite): I have found that even though browser extensions do increase security, they can also mess with functionality, specially NoScript. Blocking ads has one drawback: profit issues for free content creators. I`ll probably end up installing browser extensions only on the pc for important stuff. - AndyFul's ConfigureDefender, SysHardener (NVT), OSArmor: I have found the options in the first two difficult to understand (I`m a basic user). But I`ll keep OSArmor at default settings, it`s easy enough (for me) to deal with. - HitmanPro.[B]Alert[/B] , VoodooShield : in the country I live, they end up being very expensive. Once my Kaspersky license expire, I`ll have to think & experiment carefully. [/QUOTE]
