    Unfortunately, 2651 doesn't work after running patcher against it. Probably needs more tweaks to get running.

    I know this is late, but... When going from FfEsr to slimjet, is it possible to migrate Extensions and Bookmarks?

    Any good antivirus programs for Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 besides the prebuilt one?

    Windows Defender in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 is not an antivirus app, so you should install a third party antivirus app.

    Microsoft Security Essentials 4.10.209.0 is what I have used for several years and what constantly runs in the background.

    I also use the free version of Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware to remove any tracking cookies, spyware, malware, etc. they find.

    This combination works well for me.

    What exactly is it, you do not understand about this:
    "While it was around I used Kaspersky occasionally, and then MBA... none ever found anything, except a lot of false positives, like DAZ Loader...." I have been using this for now over 15 years! And i certainly use "dangerous " Websites, How many REAL viruses have you encountered in the last few year? Not false positives, actual viruses? Do you really think people still write malware for Win7, when you can buy a complete ransomWare malware set for a few hundred $ ?
