RE: starchilds new laptop windows 8 config

Did a little cleanup : Removed Wisecare and Iobit Advanced Sytem Care and Chrome.
Replaced With : Auslogics Boostspeed , which is my all time favorite tuning suite and Mozilla Firefox which I prefer above Chrome.
complemented the system with Emet.

like the simple security setup very much the only drag on system I notice is the startup of my browsers is gone down a bit. for the rest I am very content with this :)

smal update : disabled defender , installed c.i.s. gonna test this for a while and see how this goes....removed firefox and installed chrome instead.
comodo seems to play nicer with chrome than firefox.

I've already probably mentioned this, but why not try Waterfox?

PrivDog isn't owned by Comodo, probably some partnership. Anyway, I wasn't too keen on the idea they're providing. Better off with ABP (Lite) or AdBlock, where YOU create the white-listed sites.

And it had to be done. :D
