Screw AV. U don't need any. AV only slows down the PC. Only paranoid people use it. I never used any AV for almost 15 years already.

it's ok to brag about your shiny records of zero encounter of the nasty stuff, but please also share how you achieve that to help others. not all users reading this have the same computing habits, or know how to prevent and deal with computer virus/malware/etc.

for them, rather than letting the os running naked without any protection, it's no harm to run at least the one that comes with the os. at the bare minimum, don't turn windows defender off.

So many of you don't use AV. Interesting.

similar setup. if people want to use bare minimum i would recommend mbam with nod32.

for firewall, most people use router is good enough, but i also prefer to also use windows firewall control which basically is an interface to manage the default windows firewall, but much easily.

for web browsing i use gorhill's umatrix and ublock. with canary 64bit chrome :}

other security tools i use are malwarebytes anti exploit, emet, zemana anti logger, hostsman.

every now and then i'll scan with mbam, nod32, hitman.
