Choose your Windows version/OS correctly to get the correct charts.

A growing number of experts indeed tend to warn of that Security software can become a threat in itself by now. It needs deep-reaching rights to do its job, so if the guardian protects the doors and windows of an operation system, a hacker may start to bribe the guardian himself to let him in. Thats the risk.

Combine your full security suite with something like Malwarebyte'S Anti-Malware, or something like that.

Lock up your system, turn off active scripting, deinstall Java. Understand that the more comfortable your browsing experience feels, the more endagered your system security is.
