    I use it on Iron (Chrome extension) as far as I can tell it is virtually the same on Firefox. I can't vouch for its efficacy, I thought it might be a good (quick) second opinion.

    Back to my old and trusted setup:
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit -- ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.2 -- Hitman Pro 3.5

    I tried all the antiviruses again the last couple of days; but every single one has several things I dislike.
    Except for ESET NOD32 Antivirus: unobtrusive, extremely stable and reliable, and ofcourse good detection (but also here is something I dislike: the lack of a good update system for program updates).
    Norton AntiVirus 2011 Beta comes in second position, also an excellent program.
