[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1109045, member: 39702"] The amount of paranoid people here is crazy! For a community discussing security, one would think people are being reasonable with their security choices but this is just beyond my imagination. People here act like they are the main target of hackers and not the billionaires and companies. In fact, I'd even dare to say many here protect themselves like they are criminals browsing the dark web daily. You really only need three things to keep your PC protected. 1. reputable and the latest version of web browser with ad blocker installed 2. Windows Defender with SmartScreen enabled 3. Windows Update enabled with the latest security updates installed You can also set DNS server with malware-blocking capability. But everything else is just waste of money and unnecessary. For anyone thinking this is nonsense, just ask yourself, [I]how many times did my antivirus software alert me since I bought it? [/I] [/QUOTE]
