What Security do you use?

In conjunction with the excellent NoScript, I would also highly recommend Adblock Plus with Elements Hider (both are Firefox extensions)

I've got it. CPU use is much like that reported by Superscraper on the thread above. Seems OK........even in North Devon!;)

Despite my claim, there has not been a single comment.
The website for this brilliant piece of freeware is www sandboxie com

Just read your post, I did not know about it and will certainly try it out - Thanks!

Router with built in firewall
macfee antivirus
MS window antispyware

I've ditched Norton, as I wanted something lighter, and now have:

Microsoft Security Essentials,
Online Armour Free,
Sandboxie, and Firefox with addons for browsing,
SaS, and MBAM for anti-malware.

^Definitely agree with all the above; that's a nice tight security kit :cool: Instead, and out of personal preference and absolute faith in the product, I choose Avast (anti-virus) and Windows Defender (anti-malware).

I really like avast (an old favourite), but it was a choice between two.

I decided to give Microsoft SE a go, because it had good reviews, and I couldn't resist :rolleyes:.

Oh I agree with you about MSE. It's a nice (and free) security package; very few false positives (as far as I can see), it's very streamlined and lightweight, and excellent auto-update and scheduled scanning facilities too. Ditto Avast

I am currently using

Eset Smart Security(Nod32 AV engine)
Malwarebytes
Windows Defender

and I prefer Firefox over IE, thats it.

Testing Microsoft Security Essentials on anther machine and its looks promising, very light install and when running.
