Share your setup normally I'd post this in another forum however this is the lounge I'd love to get the average users experience.

I'm on Windows 10 and google chrome.
I don't use any AV, VPN, etc.


RE: Share you Anti-Virus / Protection setup. - Mac Miller - Apr 19, 2022

If I need an AV, Malwarebytes.

Mullvad VPN I heard was really good, currently have a [censored] subscription that needs to run out.

Everything is on default software in my Windows 11. Currently rocking the default browser and default antivirus/firewall.
I configured the Windows Defender to become more strict tho.

My best antivirus is common sense and not succumbing to emotions😁
Seriously, I am using a regular sandbox running on Debian and it works fine for me. In addition, I approach files from the Internet with a great deal of distance

That's an unwise statement, Linux malware does exist :)

It is highly unlikely that your machine gets infected with malware due to all software coming from the official package repo's of the distro there isn't even a functioning antivirus on the market for Linux due to the fact that it isn't necessary.

EDIT:There is one that I am aware called Clamav which I have installed but I have not found the need to use

Windows 11, E.G. Spyware.

Windows 11 has been proven to be spyware that takes advantage of chips in your pc to give full control to third-parties.
