Surfing without a condom | | I finally did it. I have wanted to get rid of Norton Internet Security for awhile now and finally got the balls to do it. This is my new security profile:
Firewall = My Dell router running WEP encryption. I plan to upgrade this.
Firewall safety net = Windows firewall.
Access = I only run as a limited user, not with administrator privileges.
Anti-virus = AVG 8.0. I use this on my work computer and really like it.
Spy ware = Spybot
Spy ware = Lavasoft Adaware
Browser = Firefox with NoScript add-on.
Computer was instantly faster after removing Norton. Am I an idiot? I have read that a lot of people (Leo Laporte) feel safe with this setup but I feel like I am surfing without a condom.
