Boycott anti-virus software. An afternoon spent on http://decentsecurity.com/introduction/ http://decentsecurity.com/introduction/ is better for Windows security than any AV product.
Keep everything up to date. Use password managers and two-factor authentication.
Most malware comes from ad networks right now, so use uBlock Origin. HTTPS Everywhere should go in every intsall of Chrome and Firefox.

- throwanem 10y ago> An afternoon spent on http://decentsecurity.com/introduction/ http://decentsecurity.com/introduction/ is better for Windows security than any AV product. Sad when a single person who runs a joke Twitter account (@SwiftOnSecurity) can do better than an entire multibillion-dollar industry...
- CiPHPerCoder 10y agoI talk to the person behind SOS regularly. They are actually quite brilliant and very passionate about consumer security. The premise of Decent Security (and the fact that there's no name or monetization strategy attached to it) is why they can do better. They're not trying to sell you anything. They're trying to help people take control of their own systems.
