Hahaha.I'd logged off, & was going to sleep because I have to be up tomorrow at 3:40 AM!
..and then it dawned on me, "What about me??", lol!
Well, now I am entered; and shall bid you good night, my friend!
Good luck my friend. Sleep tight!

Thank you!Hahaha.
Sleep tight!
I'd actually gotten approx. 5 hours
(maybe closer to 4...) and now that I've been going for about 3, I'm ready for the "good luck" which comes from a steaming hot cup of coffee!
This is the first configuration entry I've made in a very..very long time! The sands from the hourglass of my Emsisoft I.S. subscription finally 
ran out so striving to be a frugal MalwareTips member, I chose to reactivate Windows Defender & Windows Firewall (Defender seemed much quicker, although "Full Scan" still lived up to being quite "full" in a time wise sense) and I'd switched VoodooShield from "Smart" to "Always On" whilst also spending more time in Shadow Defender's "Shadow Mode"!
Paranoia also has it's benefits!
Uninstalled: Emsisoft I.S. (it proved a very good run!)
..and decided to try a security suite with an equally high reputation.
Installed: Kaspersky Internet Security
Day (2) and I like it! I've not noticed any of the heaviness mentioned by some over the years.
Thank you @Exterminator for setting great examples I'd begun to glean from years ago which are still consistently accurate today!
