Other points related my security configuration:

• SysHardener personalised tweaks applied
• Multiple security related flags enabled in Brave
• Freedome VPN permanently connected to safeguard against mandatory logging of browsing history by UK ISPs

Good security config. Nothing to add except on demand scanners like EEK.

except on demand scanners like EEK.

I don't like using on-demand scanners for cleaning infected systems.

Added:

• Windows Defender

Decided to re-enable Windows Defender; predominantly to enable Network Protection but also to re-evaluate its performance impact at near-default settings.

All 4 layers are covered, thanks for sharing.

Your configuration looks light.
Thanks for sharing.

Your configuration is almost exactly like mine, when I use Windows Defender. I look forward to your thoughts after you use it for awhile.

Once my VS license runs out I plan on resetting my PC, disabling Defender and going back to to using VS by itself.
I treasure the performance gain from not using Defender over the negligible protection afforded from using it.

Decided against making the changes I stated above. I may enact them at a future date but I won't be disabling Defender and shall be using VS Free for the time being.

Did you use Defender Control by any chance? and if so, do you find it reliable?

I assume you mean ConfigureDefender?
I used it to turn on PUA and Network Protection and found it wholly reliable.

Edit: Looked up Defender Control; entirely different thing. Apologies.
No, I always disable Windows Defender via the registry. I assume this is how Defender Control disables WD too but I prefer to do it manually.
