New computer just came in today. Still can't log into my main because I forgot what all my passwords were and I never wrote them down(The downside of autofill I suppose).

But on a more relevant subject, need protection for this fresh computer. What do people use these days? I know McAfee is trash, but I'm unsure if the usual recommend options are still viable.

This plus occasional malwarebytes scans

Standalone AV programs are, at best, complete and utter shit.

I've been using Windows' default anti-virus + Malwarebytes scans for years now, but I also use Comodo Firewall.

To be honest I have no idea how superfluous Comodo is at this point.

Alright. I'll probably just get Malwarebytes for now then.

As for Microsoft Edge, actually viable or is it like old IE(In that it's purpose is to download a real browser)?

Edge is viable if you get the beta version, based on Chrome's engine. It'll become the official release in mid-January afaik.

Awesome, thank you everyone!

(Zzz password recovery for emails so annoying. How the fuck am I supposed to remember "recent" emails sent when I haven't sent one in months?)
