@amir 957:
  • You may change UAC to maximum.
  • As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
  • Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices, and/or in cloud services.
  • As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: MalWareBytes Free, EmsiSoft Emergengy Kit and HitManPro Free. Currently ZAM3 is not that good as it was in the past...
  • As for "Web Privacy", You may add uBlock Origin or AdGuard AdBlocker extension to Your browsers.
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :giggle:
