Notes by Staff Team
  1. This setup configuration does not have a backup plan. We strongly recommend to add a backup solution for your data so that you can restore it in the case of an emergency.
    Backing up allows the recovery of data that has been lost due of a malware attack (eg. ransomware) or a hard disk crash. In such events you might lose family photos, your music collection, documents, or financial data. Backups are fast and simple to perform so it should be done on a regular basis.

Hello, you can add ZAM Free to your config for Virus and Malware Removal tools, the new Beta version includes better scan speed, better hollowing process detection, a better uninstalling feature that cleans leftovers in localappdata, better registry enumerator, task enumerator, etc.

About backups I would suggest Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.
