Best Buy's "optimization" services are a joke...

Isn't your behavior (ie where you surf, what you open etc) one of the most important factors in keeping a clean system. Also if you run fire fox instead of IEX and maybe no script ad on.

Yes your behavior is always the most important factor. If you wouldn't open the strange package from god no's where (ironic with bombs from here I agree) then why click the strange link. ?


That said don't trust Firefox, it is too global. The most recent malware studies found over half of recent attacks and malicious applications attacked Firefox, in other words just as bad as IE. Your current options to provide the safety Firefox once did are either Google Chrome, if you accept the privacy implications, or Opera.

I use Chrome - but then I also have a google phone, so they know everything about my electronic habits anyway - i.e. I spend 95% of my surfing time on CA and news sites for 8 months of the year. The other 4 months are spent on CA, news sites and fantasy football.
