I am on a secured network, it just seems that the security got turned off somehow. It was set to WPA2 and now I reset it and it is again WPA2. I just changed my passwords. Ran malwarebytes and superantispyware and nothing came up. I am currently running mcafee and will be going to Kapersky soon. Don't know what else I can do to protect myself. Hopefully this will take care of any holes in the system.
You should be fine. You have among top rated AV McAfee, now Intel Security, or Kaspersky, along with top rated secondary scanner Malwarebytes installed. As long as they are all kept updated, along with your browser, should be no problems.
You could add a few more layers of security. I tend to go overboard, and add the free EMET, a keyboard encryption app, and even a custom app that monitors key files such as the Hosts file for changes, though keep mine locked, which doesn't insure it cannot be changed.
AFAIK, nothing has been able to breach beyond the browser or AV, though Malwarebytes occasionally detects browser adaware.
EMET does on rare instances flag questionable server certificates. Yahoo Mail being the latest.
I did block one China based certificate authority from my browsers, as they were apparently permitting intermediate certificates from a subsidiary without adequate authentication, which could be used to spoof identity of legitimate websites. A user could be led to believe they were on a legit secured site, when in fact, a Man-In-The-Middle(MiTM) could be stealing their personal data. Breaks down the whole security trust system.
