I am happy with the setup so I have decided to stick with that setup this year as well
Firewall protection Off?
Thanks, for pointing out the vulnerable points.Firewall protection Off?
Periodic scanners: Super Antispyware Free? I think this product as second opinion scanner is of doubtful effectiveness.
Browsers extensions?
No Secure DNS?
In Personal backup, You may use some cloud services or just copy Your data manually or with a 3rd party app to You external device.
Recovery backup: None- Windows Restore point, You should use full system backup solution, trusting only in Windows Restore Points is very risky.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the suggestions, will work on them. RegardsIt must use the Bitdefender firewall
Otherwise, too many things are wrong:
- Think about encrypting your sensitive data, it will prevent someone to see the content. Use VeraCrypt for that
- Remove SuperAntiSpyware it is bad and outdated! Prefer Malwarebytes, Emsisoft Emergency Kit or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, more efficient.
- Use a secure DNS. This will protect your browsing and prevent your ISP from seeing where you are going and blocking phishing sites or other sites. Cloudflare DNS and NextDNS are my favorites.
- UR Browser not the best choice because it respects nothing in privacy... Brave is more suitable. Keep LibreWolf
- Use a password manager and use complicated passwords and not the same password everywhere! Save them in the manager. Bitwarden is a safe bet.
- Make very regular backups of your files, important or not. Whether it's a Ghost or usb or on the Cloud do it!
If you lose access to a Ransomware or in case of hard disk failure, you can find them or leave on a Windows ready to be deployed. Acronis or Aomei or Macrinium do it
