I will third or whatever Malwarebytes Anti-malware. I actually paid for a subscription and it runs nicely along with my anti-virus. I like it.

No. And frankly, I fail to see how you can extrapolate that conclusion from the links I posted. Do you have links showing otherwise?

Oh, I thought you didn't deny similar extensions exist and that you can get them now, only that there are posted articles on security holes. I didn't know the links denied the existence of them.

You very clearly said you were pretty sure Chrome could get "it" now, in reference to NoScript. Chrome can't get Noscript. Period. Chrome can get you a false sense of security via inferior extensions that don't work as advertised.

That first link? That was from the guy who does Noscript, explaining why Chrome will never have Noscript. Until HE says he's porting it over to Chrome, Chrome DOES NOT HAVE NOSCRIPT. I honestly don't see what's so difficult for you to understand about this, but I'm done.

I mean, he states flat-out:

Currently NotScripts does not provide advanced protection for things such as clickjacking and other methods found in the “NoScript” addon for Firefox and a malicious website may still be able to successfully use such techniques.
No one is denying that this add-on exists. But even the AUTHOR admits it's not as good as NoScript.

I don't use any protection, because I'm a boss.

Don't waste your time. I said NoScript was unavailable for Chrome. He said it was. It's not.

Those are the facts. Let him pretend otherwise. Again-- for me, whatever advantages Chrome has over FF are completely obliterated by the fact that NoScript is unavailable for it.

Oh, I thought you said you were done. I suppose the tools provided via links for Chrome are laughable when someone loves hanging around 'those sites' or are enriched with a double dose of paranoia.

Yeah, I know said I was done. Sue me.

A word to the wise: anyone who thinks the only way you can get hit by visiting "those sites" and that NoScript's full functionality is something only a paranoid could benefit from is a person whose advice on computer security is worse than worthless.

I have used Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security for over 6 years and am very happy with it. (I tried the 'deluxe' higher priced version for a year, but it used a lot more resources and slowed my gaming down...I had to turn it off while playing CoH.) I am back to the basic version and it does everything I want it to do.

...and yet, I have no problems whatsoever. There is more than a few of us power users on the forums, that have built + fixed PCs and have been programmers and website builders, support specialists, etc. It isn't just you.

Glad you didn't deny anything I mentioned at least.
