I am experiencing some problems on my computer and need the extra security. What do you guys recommend? I see youtubers recommending ExpressVPN and had a friend recommend IPvanish, but this stuff is kind of expensive at 10-13 per month.

Mozilla's is $5/month if you buy 12 months at once. $10/month individually

If your PC is already compromised, all you're doing is participating in a botnet through a VPN.

Deepscan with whatever antivirus you use, Malwarebytes scan, then Bleachbit just for the hell of it.

Or, just do a clean windows install.

Mozilla just uses Mullvad (sp?) and buying it directly is 5 per month

Yes, I have an extension through Edge. I do not use Chrome anymore.

Thank you guys so much. I went with IPVanish btw, my anxiety is decreasing every second now.

This was easily the best decision i have made. My spidey sense was going off all morning, got the VPN, NO MORE ANXIETY/SPIDEY SENSE.

Also, there seems to be a misinformation campaign against VPNs right now.

Which extension? I'd recommend ublock origin (NOT ublock), the others let ads through if those who made the ads paid them
