@Andrew3000 :
  • Custom Settings For Real-Time Protection Details -> Heuristic -> High: I think this is not necessary and probably is affecting to system performance, I just would keep it in default (Medium).
  • 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 "Web Privacy", You may add also a VPN service.
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :giggle:

  • Thanks, I missed the VPN that i generally use
  • Setted heuristic as default setting
  • Added personal data backup
  • As suggested by @harlan4096 and by @bribon77, I will use AOMEI backupper. (I have an unused external hard drive that I can use for backups). Thanks for the suggestion.
