Advice Request Best Privacy and Protection Security

[AtlBo]

Someone here where I live may call me today to help set up some things on her computer. She runs a small counseling ministry and also a small business. Not sure what she would like done, but I am thinking of suggesting some security additions she might make while I am there. For a counseling company, I think privacy would be very important, so I want to add that, but also I think free will be important too. It's a non-profit organization.

Considering Comodo (not sure which) sandbox set to block for the main security. I want to keep it simple, so I guess it's best to leave it there and not add sigs although Avast is tempting to recommend. For privacy protection, however, I can only think of uBlock Origin.

I would appreciate any input on this, so thanks for looking. Not sure what would be best, so I am up for any ideas...

I can think of Comodo Firewall 10 with CF settings + uBlock Origin + Netcraft extension.

Simple, effective and yet very light.

If it is a Windows 10 machine you could leave Windows Defender running, it wouldnt hurt ...

@Nightwalker thanks. Sounds good to me. Not sure if it's a W10 PC or not. WD would be nice to have there...

You want something secure, free and simple with privacy. What about a Linux distro that is simple to use with a fast environment like Xfce (Xubuntu)? That would be the non plus ultra.

That could work, but I think she may have the software to install already. Does kind of bring to my mind how I might be thinking in this situation. I might actually go that way for a business. Windows is just way too busy for an office imo or at least W10. Too many creeper feelers inside the operating system.

Thanks for the suggestion. Really appreciate it. I could be getting closer to going with Linux myself.

I think Netcraft doesn't work for me.
how to works?, i've the 5 months trying with them, and i don't receive any notification alert about blocked websites by the extension. i addition In summary too, i detect high memory consumption on this extension.

I would think that Linux would be the lowest cost, and most secure, approach for a small business solution.

However, the main showstoppers to that approach would be a dependency on any Windows only applications.
