[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 870233"] And your opinion shouldn't change. Everyone will have different needs/wants and different comfort levels, which is totally fine. Similarly if someone likes to use WD and W10 security features, they should. No one should try to get them to change. WD and W10 overall has greatly improved on the security side of things, so there's no need to fear it, but that doesn't mean it will meet everyone's needs either. There are many great options to choose from, just find the one that works for you.(y) Exactly! I've pretty much gone down the same route as you. I love tweaking and playing with different software/configurations, but like you sometimes all this tweaking becomes exhausting, so i start looking for simpler things. Exactly. Security forum members are not all paranoid, fear mongers, its just a group of geeks that like to discuss this topic. As I said in my previous post, the fear and paranoia that does present itself has more to do with not understanding what's being said, or what said data means. It's all about context, if taken correctly it's fine, if taken out of context, then you have a recipe for the fear and paranoia that is sometimes evident. [/QUOTE]
