Hi there. Long time viewer of Hak5. (Tried successfully hacking the ZipIt Z2 to run AirCrack)
I've recently invested in a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 [intel Quad-core i7 720QM, 4GB RAM, Win7] for my small business. I'm mainly going to be doing online surfing, video conferencing, and word processing. Though my main focus for this post is the online surfing and perhaps the conferencing too.
I'm not computer literate. I've dabble lightly in networking, (aka I'm the one who fixes the 'internet' at home) so I know the surface of the malicious threats that can befall someone surfing the net. But my question is this: What sort of extensions for Chrome and perhaps simple programs on Win7 exist out there that can offer me a smidgen of an illusion of a more secure laptop and online experience, from online and wifi threats?
You know, so I don't have to reformat every few months, give up sensitive client info, or sacrifice sanity while using my browser. It doesn't need to be a free option, I don't mind paying a developer for a program or system of security worth my time and effort.
