On my Windows partition I have the free version of Avast (silenced), free version of Malwarebytes, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. That's actually a really good combo if you know how to set it up all correctly.

That's quite a good combo, I reccomend a Linux USB to investigate, a virus could inject code into antivirus.

I use 360 Total Security, Ghostvpnthingy and ghostly.

I use srware iron a chrome based privacy browser and am soon making a piouter (Raspberry pi router).

I have Sophos Anti-Virus and Adblock Plus.

Comodo is my real-time antivirus and Malwarebytes is for the occasional scan/removal. My web browser is Opera, my ad blocker is Adguard and I have Disconnect.me, HTTPS Everywhere and Blur for privacy.

I highly suggest Adguard. It has the lowest memory usage out of all ad blockers (lower than uBlock even) and has the same effectiveness. If you're sticking with another, don't use Adblock, use Adblock Plus. Adblock tracks specific user usage and whitelists some sponsor ads. On the other hand, Adblock Plus is open source and has no malicious code.

They don't.

AdBlock for Chrome (now known as BetaFish Adblocker) is open source and does not whitelist ads or does not track your browsing. Actually, Adblock Plus is the one that gets paid to show some ads.

Anyways, thanks for the Adguard suggestion. Gonna give it a whirl and see how it does against uBlock.

Fortunately, users of Adblock Plus can disable this by going into their filter preferences and unchecking “allow some non-intrusive advertising”.

I use BetaFish..

My mum received a computer from her boss and it came with AdBlock. We use Yahoo as our email cilent. When AdBlock is used, it only takes about 10 seconds to load if that. On computers without it, over a minute.

i changed around a little bit. i now have https everywhere, noscript (with scripts on), disconnect, mu block, norton, mcaffee, malwarebytes, and malware bytes chameleon.

You don't need both McAfee and Norton at the same time. They can conflict.
What products do you use from them?

I'm on board with that. Take a computer you don't need and take two anti-virus programs and inject harmless but scary viruses in both of them, then have both do a security scan simultaneously and see what happens.
