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.

    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
