How is just using Windows Defender for light web browsing? I mostly just game on my computer while chatting with friends in Discord or Mumble.

Norton so far, but really considering removing it and just going with Windows Defender. Have noticed that Norton keeps my displaying from turning off after the specified time I have set and it's really annoying. I have found I have to run Live Update manually and it typically installs new...

I haven't re-downloaded ccleaner since this build - and I never used the registry part of ccleaner before. How does that work? I was too nervous to ever use that feature before. Does it just recognize programs that were removed and delete associated registry files? Or am I manually choosing...

About 2-3 weeks ago now I noticed an issue with my Firefox taking forever to initially load my homepage (google.com) - we're talking 20-25 seconds. On a connection that speedtest.net confirmed to be 37 Mbps down / 6 Mbps up (exactly what I am paying Spectrum for). My speedtest results never...
