    FF privacy 'standard' & https always
    Bitdefender total
    NordVPN <not always on, slows pages loading>
    add on Mu block

    I have lifetime license for MBAM
    Disabled addons: Bitdefender Traffic Light, Privacy Badger, Https everywhere

    @Buddel Thanks!

    Macrium Reflect for BU's!

    Is MBAM still in favor here? I remember long ago MBAM was really a must-have, or great rep. MBAM seems now more like a distant 3rd, in the ongoing battle with malware.

    There are probably not many people these days whose favorite anti-malware solution is MBAM. Maybe it's still "okayish" as a second-opinion scanner. I haven't used it for ages.

    Agree. I have a lifetime license for MBAM but have not used it for at least 5 years.

    Okay! MBAM is now not a startup item! Seems AV comparatives plus others, have shown a steady decline in MBAM. Sad

    these be redundant, "Traffic Light, Privacy Badger" to post #1 if resident. in sys tray?

    I used Traffic Light and Privacy Badger a very, very long time, haven't used them for ages. Not really needed, in my opinion. uBlock Origin or AdGuard as an FF add-on should be more than enough.

    Have a lifetime license as well, picked it up back in Malwarebytes early beta days.
    Not sure if it still works as I have not run MBAM in quite some time.

    I cannot recall his name but he worked for an AV company Panda, then moved on to develop or improve MBAM.
    He used to post on this forum, & I ended up with 3-lifetime licenses. uBlock origin best!

    @LoneWolf - Keep on Trucking, damn now I've got to hear it again
