Carbonite to acquire Webroot for $600M

I used to use Webroot and Spyware Sweeper until it got too bloated. I never went back. I started to use Avast or the Windows Defender built into Windows. Using the EEK kit to scan for spyware and Trojans.

I don't really have a virus problem as I scan files before I open them and I stay away from websites that would give me an infection. I got ad blockers and harmful site blockers.

Anti-Virus software the market is very crowded so is Backup software. I use Dropbox for my backups and could use One Drive or Google Drive as well. My documents are small the only large files I deal with are emulation ROMs which can be downloaded over again via torrent if I lose them.

I wanted to go Linux Mint but I got games and software that needs Windows and has no Linux port or works with WINE. Plus my wireless card only works with older kernels and if I install a new kernel it breaks my Wifi driver and I have no Internet.
