On the Dell, Windows 8.1: Panda Anti-Virus (incl. firewall) and Malwarebytes Ant-Malware. I did scans yesterday and today and found nothing.
Though today, for some reason, I found Panda disabled. I don't know if I hit the wrong button at some time, but I thought I should mention it. It would be very unlike me and it's not that easy to flub the Panda settings because they're so easy. If it was disabled, it wasn't disabled for long, because I update the databases for Panda and Malwarebytes once a week and therefore am repeatedly seeing their "dashboards."
Firefox 43.0.3 (on the Mac I use 39.0.3) w/Ad Block Plus, HTTPS Everwhere, and Disconnect. No porn sites, gambling, torrent, or illegal downloads of music, movies, or software. I do have a Gmail account and after I got it, switched my various web site IDs and subscriptions from ATT to Gmail.
Netgear router N300. Latest firmware isn't compatible w/10.6, but this router isn't very old.
Back to my Mac: no. LogMein: no. I never access my computer or my info when away from home. I don't do cloud computing. I don't have a cellphone or smartphone or laptop. I do Facetime and internet on the iPad.
It would take a while to describe every privacy and security setting on Windows 8.1, so suffice it to say it's locked down.
But just about anyone can get my email address. So I guess whatever was done wasn't all that difficult. I don't want to call ATT on a weekend. I'll try Monday.
ETA: I also have a free year of ProtectMyID.com
