[QUOTE="windows1064, post: 1022016, member: 85112"] I'm thinking to try Avast Premium Security (temporarily, because I prefer H_C and no 3rd party antivirus - less problems). Anyway. I can't find any guide/best settings/complete review about Avast modules. What do you think about these modules below/screenshot? Useless? Useful? am I wrong? Mail shield - unchecked. This only applies to messages handled by mail management software. I'm not using such apps. And never opening email attachments. Ransomware shield - unchecked. All my files are uploaded in google drive. Remote Access shield - unchecked. Remote access is disabled in Windows Services. Real Site - unchecked. I'm using Google DNS. I don't want Avast to change DNS. Software Updater - unchecked. Manually update apps. Browser Cleaner - unchecked. I can do it manually. Rescue Disk - unchecked. Data Shredder - unchecked. Sounds bad for SSD lifespan. Sensitive Data Shield - unchecked. Webcam Shield - unchecked. I don't have camera. Cleanup - unchecked. I'm using Widnows Storage Cleaner.
