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.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
