Hi guys ,this is my security configuration for this year.

Good config, but could you add the browser that you are using? Most browsers don't need extensions like SmartHTTPS or Click&Clean anymore, as they have similar options integrated. If you'd like to tweak Kaspersky a little further for improved protection, I'm sure that @harlan4096 can help you out there.

Edit: Consider using a DNS like Quad9 or a more customizable one like NextDNS. There are defenitely better options in terms of speed and privacy.

Hi guys ,this is my security configuration for this year.

You can take a look into this tool "Autoruns" from Windows Sysinternals, it's useful for different purposes like to check for software driver leftovers.

Autoruns - Sysinternals

See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login.

Using Autoruns to Deal with Startup Processes and Malware

Most geeks have their tool of choice to deal with processes that start up automatically, whether that is MS Config, CCleaner, or even Task Manager in Windows 8 — but none of them are as powerful as Autoruns, which is also our Geek School lesson for today.

Why 2 passwordmanagers (Lastpass; Bitwarden)?

I use Google Chrome Dev.
I tried DNS benchmark and google dns resulted as faster than all dns tested so thats the reason why I chose it.

I use only lastpass, but I copy all my passwords on bitwarden for all the others devices.

Wouldn't it be easier to switch to Bitwarden?

Import from LastPass | Bitwarden

If you are switching password managers from LastPass to Bitwarden, use this article guide you to export data from LastPass and import into Bitwarden.

Kaspersky defaults settings are ok for standard users, probably weak for some specific scenarios, but those in general are rare if our common sense and surfing habits are healthy

HitManPro.Alert in real-time probably is not necessary with KIS...

I just changed some settings such as scan all types of files and archives.
I am very prudent when I'm on the web.
