[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 750056, member: 67091"] I do respect your opinion. In fact, I believe that the "best combo" is just the combo the user like. It doesn't exist such thing like "the best universal solution". Having said that, technically speaking, sometimes the less the better. For example, even recognizing that Avast AV have the lowest system impact, its Web Shield slows down browser speed, and also creates conflicts with TLS. In other words, many users don't feel system impact, or don't care. But not just system impact always exists, but worse, it creates conflicts. Firefox has interesting researches showing how add-ons, antivirus etc interfere with the browser. It is a fact: The less, the better. So, instead antivirus, even average users should be better protected with an anti-executable + a kind of K9 blocker working at system level (if they can't use Pi-Hole). My very personal subjective opinion is that having thousand of new malwares and risk-wares appearing everyday... antivirus/anti-malwares are obsolete. And add-ons with hosts... are extincted dinosaurs. Intelligent anti-executables should replace them. CF+CS settings is a good start. VTZilla is another piece of art. Conclusion: If we have less system resources strategies, with high blocking rates... then we should focus on them. [/QUOTE]
