Enable UAC to default (at least), also use an external Image System Backup solution: Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Also, use a non browser integrated password manager, in fact, currently there is a serious security issue with FF password manager, that will be fixed soon, but meanwhile...

Thanks for sharing your config :)

i had a password manager. i got a new PC and could not get my passwords.
Follow the advice's giving by the users in your thread here, it is all sound. As for Password managers, try Lastpass as suggested, it is stored and accessed in the cloud, so even if you use someone else's system, you can access your passwords. You can also create backups from most password managers and place then on a external device should something happen and you require access again.

As i always say: if you use a suite, you shouldn't need to add stuff like comodo FW or whatever.

if you like BD engine, remove BDTS and replace it with BD free or any BD-using AV.
