I agree with Notes in that "Being safe isn't paranoid".

I have Windows Security, Anti-Malwarebytes, Anti-Malwarebytes' VPN, and cCleaner on my computers. I also have Netgear Armor powered by Bitdefender on our phones and my router. I also have multiple backups of my drives. I never look at any email from people and/or companies I don't know and I look at the URLs of those I do know. I have second verification on places I do business with like Amazon and Paypal. I visit a good number of music related sites and get a lot of email from them however I never go to those hacker or dirty picture/movie type sites. If anyone can suggest something more that I can do please do so.

I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
