Linux. No seriously. Otherwise Malwarebytes ,Firefox with Ublock Origin and and a few other plugins. And very safe surfing habits.

Sorry, but you said PC.... I use linux. Thats it.

Well, do almost all my gaming under linux now... running Kubuntu 20.04, which by the way stays up to date on nvidia drivers. Newest nvidia drivers auto installed with control panel ect. I only reboot to win 8.1 from time to time to fly Flying Circus, but I expect I'll get it to run under...

God how long am I going to run this system? My little 1680v2 at only 4.2ghz still keeps me quite happy. Just going to wait for a used TR system next.... If I had more than 16 threads I wouldn't be looking at tr....

Tech stagnation, piranhas feeding?

Something different... this is Kali Linux. Debian based. It is used for network security testing. Have to attach, TPUs pic hosting is not working....
