Firefox just had a huge zero day exploit published on it. They just released a fix. Allows a hacker to put malware on your computer (windows version only) from a hacked/compromised webpage without you knowing or even downloading anything. Make sure you get that patch applied if you move to FireFox.

run mbam, adwcleaner, jrt, rkill, rougekiller, all on a regular basis...

Watch out for browser sync too, you'll get that crapware on every device. Best to keep one toy not setup to sync if you have a preference to browse the odd site or few.

unplug that backup USB drive to avoid any potential ransomware infection...

... I'll stop now.

Lol. Spend as much time maintaining your computer as you do using it

Or just switch to Linux/Mac and run one scanner that is likely not even needed.

Unless you are like me, and have to have Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices to cross test a bunch of software. But then again, even on my windows machine, one scanner seems to do it for me... but I only use it for work and am 'in the know'.

Most of my daily browsing is on Linux, and the rest is on Mac. Maybe 0.01% is from Windows when I just happen to be working on that device.

I
only get to use Linux VM's on my own gear for serious work.
