Have a router ? You've got a firewall then. You're done.

Need the best A/V on the market ? webroot's Secure Anywhere 2012.

People who recommend MSE, I have to ask what in the world are you thinking ? Its atrocious.

I cant stand when people make statements like "I've used it and it works great " Define "works great", you mean it didnt catch your Acer computer on fire ? (see what I did there ?) :shifty:

People who dont really do anything risky, have no business making recommendations really, think about it. If you are wanting recommendations on an off road vehicle, would you listen to a bunch of wannabe street racers ? N0

So why on earth listen to someone who does nothing more than bounce from facebook, to youtube & neowin all day ? You need to get advice from people who are actually "in the trenches" in IT security, virus removal, even virus creation.

Or someone who has extensively researched several different ones because they had to make a recommendation to their company on which one they need to buy 5000 licenses for, and if it fails - its my their ass. :|

Go look @ some of the well-respected industry mags out there (not the bogus search results) and see what they say possibly.

I am not saying anyone who disagrees with me is clueless, I just dont like it when people have no idea what they're talking about making recommendations on things they shouldnt be.

Dont listen to someone who says "I have xxxx and Ive never had a virus" they are the same asshats who say, "Acers/Compaq are good, I have one and no problems for 2 years" or some crap.

There are a lot of good recommendations in here: sandboxie, linux even, but most importantly common sense. Industry experts really like Norton, I dont know enough about it to comment on it one way or the other.

What I do know is the Webroot SecureAnywhere 2012 is tiny on resources (4 KB) insanely fast, and will even work with other antivirus programs. it has even removed things that malwarebytes couldnt.

PC Mag gave webroot Secure Anywhere the highest scores ever for any AV software. MaximumPC gave it a 9 & KickAss award.

I have about a dozen employees who are notorious for getting infections, once I put SecureAnywhere on their laptops, its been quiet as a church - no more problems from them - works like a champ !

Sry for the long post

Happy Hunting

You don't work for Webroot by any chance? :p

LOL - when I was typing it I thought someone was gonna think that.

Nope just awfully impressed with it. Their corporate sales people gave me 20 licenses to try out when I was waiting for the enterprise pkg to roll out -

I can see why industry experts say its the best.

I don t really think the OP or in generall people are trully willing to learn file protection e.g. blocking attacks, it s more a "you heard something you don t know thing".

No problem with that, not at all. Not everyone spends 14 hours / day on the PC so it s not a thing who is clueless - more a let me hear what you use nd those threads allways get constructive at some point.

    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
