I do not use any anti-virus software.

The "best" anti-virus software is maybe 20% effective ... and too many of them have been caught deliberately doing things they should not have ever done.

I do use:

- Ad blocker - uBlock Origin (because the ad networks are significant distributors of malware:ads)
- Tracker blocker - uBlock Origin
- NoScript (I block everything by default and whitelist only a few things that I trust)
- I don't open attachments, unless I specifically requested that someone send me a specific item.
- I click very few links
- I do use bookmarks that I have manually created (typed-in)
- I uninstalled Java, before it was fashionable to uninstall Java
- I uninstalled Flash, ditto
- I uninstalled Silverlight, ditto
- I use HTTPS everywhere possible
- I prefer to use Firefox
- I uninstalled Adobe (PDF) Reader
- Sometimes use Chrome (primarily to view PDFs)
- Will never trust:use Internet Explorer or Edge
- I *try* to always run my browser in a separate VM/partition
- I strongly prefer LTE/4G/3G over public WiFi
- I use Netalyzer to determine if an internet connection is reasonably trustworthy
