What Security do you use?

I use Kaspersky

runneratmidnight

I currently run 2 operating systems on my Laptop. On my Windows portion I run Webroot Essential which I bought because it was cheap and seemed to get good reviews. However, I have found it isn't as good as Kaspersky. I also use KeePass to manage my passwords as if you use the same password for every account, sooner or later it will be hacked.

For the reason stated in some of the resent posts, the other operating system is Linux (Ubuntu). I am new to Linux and not yet ready to completely switchover. I can't quite get it set up how I want, KeePass is an issue. Linux does feel much more secure with executable applications requiring password protected root access. Hoping to get all the bugs sorted and ditch Windows for good!

And how refreshing it is to finally abandon all the PC nonsense ...

If you want to or are brave enough to run a legitimate test on your computer's security you can try here. GRC Gibson Research Corporation It's free and legitimate! If your unsure of clicking the URL just Google the company name. The page you need is called Shields Up.

I've been using Rapport without problem since first direct recommended it. I had a few false positives while it learnt my login habits, now it's seamless. Tiny footprint and CPU.

It's just another line of defence to add to the others...

Still using Windows, can't be bothered to change and learn a new system.

Been using for last few years solution from ESET, UK based company. Small footprint, never knowingly let me down and only aware of it when you need it to be. Would recommend it.

Unable to put the URL in as MSE forum want let me do it as a new user to stop people from spamming. However, Google ESET and you will find them or www eset co uk and put the dots in!
