New year new me. I had to get rid of Kaspersky and even though I tried several other antivirus I was not happy with any of them for one reason or another. Tried Zonealarm, Norton, Bitdefender, Eset, Comodo, Avira, Avast. So for now until I can think of something I gave up and went with what MS has to offer with some help from forum members and their tools.

Do you keep a secure backup of your KeePass database offline, or online?
"Offline" using multiple ways so I know it will always be somewhere regardless.
Real time - Using backups on save, backups of the file on schedule and sync on all my devices with syncthing.
Cold storage - Save the database periodically in safe locations separate from each other.

Did a few changes.
Hard Configurator -> OSarmor (OSarmor gives me the ability to have a better control of what is blocked or not)
Hasleo Backupper -> AOMEI Backupper (AOMEI is an easier to operate program with similar performance)
UAC to always notify
