Windows Defender has blocked a few Trojans for me. I have an email filter on my ISPs site which has a white list and a black list. In the white list only emails approved by me get onto my computer. Unknown emails are put into a pending email box which have to be cleared by me, and if I don't like them they are put on my black list. If they try sending an email again it is bounced to the sender saying address unknown.


What are you using for your e-mail filter if you don't mind me asking? That sounds like some good stuff.


I don't know much about it as it is built into my ISPs website. I have to pay extra for this service. See attachment screenshot.

I am not suggesting anything, but I am currently just using plain Microsoft WIndows 10 Defender.
Before that I have been using AVG Free Antivirus for years with no problems at all until recently. And before that (years ago) I used to have Norton and McAfee.

Has anybody downloaded from Digirails? They have some really awesome photo repaints that I want but they are using mediafire which is so I hear “a virus just waiting to happen”. Is there any safe way to download things from that site? !*don-know!*

Digirails is a pretty popular site for reskins, I've never had any trouble with them.
