In that case I'll definitely make sure to stop by!

Came with a 1TB 5400RPM HDD but I replaced it with a 500GB SSD and I'm using the HDD for backups. It's also got room for a RAM upgrade in the future. Right now it has 8GB, which should be fine, but I can upgrade it to 16 in the future.

The 8GB should be enough if you're not playing games or editing videos/pictures.

Pavillions are ok. Mine runs just fine.

I have a Pavilion too, and it's great.

Chuck38 said:

Good to know!

Probably. What about getting the free version and Defender?

I'm using Comodo Icedragon. It's a lot like FF but it uses less RAM and CPU.

If you get the free version, Chuck, you'll have to remember to run it every so often; every day being preferable.

And Wynona has one, too. Should be fine

I would stick with Windows defender (or Security or what they call it now)… No need for Malwarebytes pro. Maybe add MBAE and modify hosts file for coinmine protection.
You will be restricted about browsing anyhow. Better stick with Macrium backup...

Ummm, Andre, he'll be on a public network in college. "College WiFi is a hacker's dream." This from a friend who knows security.

Your browser supports FF addons. Recommend you add this one:


https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../malwarebytes/

Don't know if I really needed this addon, but I installed it anyway, my MB Pro seems to block sites without even having this addon installed, but I installed it anyway.

That's right Wynona ....

Malwarebytes won't help with public network problems.. better firewall control maybe, always https

This blocks stuff the Pro doesn't for me.
It does give you a choice to go to it if you want but its good to have the warning.
