Riddle Me This: What is the difference between privacy and security?

You are so boring, the difference is simple. Security helps protect you, while privacy helps keep stuff private to some degree. Browser Security protects you from malware, phisihing, hacking, and other online dangers and privacy helps keep your information and data private.

So... what is the big deal? Listen close, no matter how hard you try not to download anything, no matter how hard you try to avoid viruses or anything that could possibly have one, and probably doesn't, it is eventually going to come bite you in the butt, and you will wonder what the whole point was. But before this happens and you blow up your computer with nitro glycerin (even though if you still want to i will help :D), this might help a little bit to do something like that, but with time it will just make the time you spent trying to protect it useless and you will probably regret it when you realize that your computer desktop and download folders look the same as the day you bought the computer, and now even that is gone. Privacy may be important especially against hackers, but your best defense is your security.

But security can also destroy you if you aren't careful. These are usually called 'Rogues' or something close to that. The best way to avoid them is simply to not click anything except the X when pop ups come up for it. But... wait! What if there really is a problem on your computer? My suggestion is simply to simply X out any pop ups then open the security program you trust and have it scan your computer. So how do you figure out what is real and what is a rogue? X it and scan it, use a security program you trust, and if you want there is a rogue vs real test on microsoft.com . you may surprise yourself.
