How secure is firefox?
No. Securing Windows operating systems from Internet threats is not a single application, or even a suite; it’s layers of protection: user habits, threat landscape awareness, system configuration, real time protection, and more. Although ‘all-in-one’ suites may be OK,(CareOne, McAfee, or Norton) plenty of freeware is available that will do the same job (maybe better???) & don’t deplete your system resources (and therefore speed). Generally speaking: as a system’s convenience, interactiveness & flexibility increase: security decreases. Look through some of the suggested freeware here, study up, and pick some of the frontline defenses. Create a restore point after each install, then run the system to verify that application’s ‘friendliness’ with your system before adding other applications. Sorry, but using Windows requires you to become a security expert, it’s that simple. Something they don’t tell you when you buy this system…
