    I've never heard of Bullguard, I'll have to look it up. Malawarebytes didn't test well last time I checked, but that's been a while ago. I've been using ZoneAlarm Extreme Security for years, and have been pretty happy with it.

    I use Opera with a built-in free VPN, avoid Google and use Duck Duck Go on my Android phone. On my laptop use Kubuntu and Ubuntu, never have any security issues.

The hackers archive your order in attempts to hide it from you. If you don't check your email soon enough it will be shipped. It seems to revolve around a Russian shipping company, called Polar Express. They are shipped to these locations and then shipped out of country.

    If this company is the cause or just a tool nobody knows. I have since bought extra computer protections and intend on using two-step identification on sites that offer it.
    Anonymity is priceless!

    The database used in the free and paid versions is identical, but they don't want you to know that. See post 17.

    I use ganja. The perfume from the smoke kills any virus.

    it seems to have more features availble though . I do know it will unlock a CPU's ransomware.

    I keep my license on auto-renewal and it costs me like $20/yr I tried Kaspersky (white listing) and I wasn't impressed

    Glad you caught it. This link will help you determine if the email is from Amazon.
