Chrome 64 bit, for extra security.
@Windows Security - Cool tools but is there any reason you don't use the built-in SRP, ACL settings? Is it just a matter of convenience? *...
I learned something new - to follow a 40/80 % charge/discharge concept; e.g. charge your phone until it reaches ~80%. Use it until it goes down to...
Ok, I think you have a point. Too bad Microsoft doesn't mention what else has been improved in 5.2.
So if I have EMET 5.1, an upgrade isn't called for if I run Win 7?
Standard user (and UAC max). I started using the standard user account on my W2K system, and while it was little annoying in the beginning being...
Thanks for the neat software Gorhill - I notice pages tend to load somewhat faster and it blocks more ads than the bigger competitor (for Chrome).
I can confirm EMET 5.1 doesn't crash my applications like 5.0 did. Now Caller, Stackpivot, EAF are enabled with no issues. So far. ^^
Only to read newspapers.
Interesting input thanks. But I don't use third-party security software such as firewalls, AV, HIPS etc. That makes is double weird to me. ^^
I have disabled javascript but great suggestion, thanks.
Not sure. I use vpn services through OpenVPN and once when I attempted to connect to my VPN provider via the GUI, a web page suddenly opened just...
Thanks for your input. I have downgraded to 4.1 Update 1, imported "Popular Software" (enabled by default: Caller, StackPivot, EAF), Deep Hooks...
So, what to do? Almost all major software I use break if I don't disable Caller, StackPivot and sometimes EAF. I am considering to go back to 4.1...
I have installed NoRoot Firewall and I am happy about its performance and features. As the name implies, you don't need to root your phone to have...
Not that this contributes to this thread in any way, but I always ignore these non-critical updates. Adds nothing to my system but bloat. ^^ Btw,...
:) Microsoft maybe tests EMET on W8.1 and assumes it'd work on W7 too. But that sounds unreasonable. Or. Not.
Ok, that's probably an easier way to solve the issue, by asking them to right click Chrome and run-as admin. Not sure if this would work since an...
As a general rule, I disable StackPivot and EAF to avoid program crashes. Sometimes Caller. I wonder if Microsoft really tested all software...
No problem, good to establish what limits there are in Parental Controls. As far as I can see, W7 and W8 use same parental control features. I can...
I tend to agree with you. I will most likely have to abandon the idea of only using the built-in software in Windows. Remote administration will...
Thanks for the link and advice. I've used Pretty Good Security in the past but with Firefox. Not sure how the update works with PGS or Software...
I haven't dug any deeper into how Parental Control works in W7 and W8 so I don't know if that should work. My understanding is that the white list...
Just finished setting up my sister's laptop that has Windows 8.1 pre-installed. I've tried to adhere to my own idea of a good security policy...
So it's Privacy vs Longevity (of service) and also uptime. But IMO there are no palpable guarantees for increased privacy even if you use a small...
