[QUOTE="Decopi, post: 811363, member: 67091"] Thank you again [USER=51905]@Evjl's Rain[/USER] for your answer! I don't use and I don't believe in legacy (passive data base function) AV/AM. I just use proactive CF+CS' settings. During the past 12 months I've being testing some AI' alternatives for AV/AM, but didn't find yet nothing enough robust/mature. I found two different AI' free AV/AM software, but they are beta and too "local" for my needs (most of their protection is focused on local threats: China and Korea). So, I am still married to CF/CS, feels comfortable for the last 3 years, excellent proactive protection, almost zero system impact... no other security software in my system (even not WD, smartscreen, UAC etc, everthyng is removed)... once a month I do a second opinion complete scan, and zero, always 100% clean... so honestly, I don't really worry about virus/malware. I just used K9' categories for virus/malwares because it had no system impact. The same with safebrowsing, after removing K9 I turned safebrowsing "on" at my browser just because it has a minimum system impact. That is the reason "why" I never will use again extensions/add-ons for virus/malware... in my opinion is a complete waste of system resources. And the use of "blocking lists" for virus/malwares... it is the worst idea nowadays (where zero-days attacks rule the game). So, my present focus really is anti-tracking and ads-blocking. But as I said, if you are not European/American... forget blocking-list!... bazookas for mosquitoes. VPN's, DNS's, PiHole etc... are unpractical for mobility, or useless if you don't have servers near your city. Now without K9, this new context pushes me to Policy Control extension.

It is good to mention that most of the privacy/security issues are hiding behind advertising. So, blocking ads is also a way to hardening security/privacy. Yeah, ads are my major fight.
