>>Unless you are going to switch to Linux, stay with an older version of Windows and never get another update or switch to a Mac ... what are you going to do?<<
For the past year and a half I have no had a single update on my Win XP Pro. I have a Win 7 laptop that hasn’t had any updates. My browser are Firefox 15.2 and 16.0. I do not update either of those also.
From what I have learned updates add more ways for them to track your daily usage and put addons onto your browser so you can see fancy advertisements, which of course they get paid for.
I have AdBlock Plus and NoScript addons.
At the end of every day I run CCleaner and MRU Blaster before I shutdown. Once a month I run Malwarebytes.
Since I changed to solid state hard drives the machine runs faster than I can type.
If you can see where I’m doing something wrong, please tell me. It’s been five years or so since I have had a virus.
