Wipe my drive and reinstall Windows 10 every two months.

Important aspect(s) to have for your config:

• Make sure UAC is set to always notify
• Using backup software such as Macrium Reflect (this can be put onto a USB or hard drive) - also put consideration into the fact you use Onedrive

Other optional picks:

• Netcraft web extension for phishing
• Trace web extension alongside Privacy Possum

The rest looks great!

I set my UAC to "Always Notify" and will look into using a backup software. Netcraft seems unnecessary as Adguard alreadys protect me from phishing. Also, I used Trace and even purchased a license, but it seemed to overkill. Thanks for the feedback!

it looks good your configuration, the only thing I suggest is backup program .. I use Macrium Reflect free.
Thanks for sharing.

Man just install a backup program Why reinstall Windows 10? Restoring a backup takes 5-10 min on an SSD. Especially with 1809. I have tried to reinstall and it actually ended up more broken than before and I was irritated that I had to go back to an old backup after wasting 3 hours to reinstall twice!

I'll recommend Paragon Backup & Recovery Free just because I'm hipster.

 

[JM Safe]

Add Zemana AntiMalware Free.

Follow suggestions about backups.

Thanks for sharing.

Why wipe drive & reinstall windows every 2 month if there’s no indication of an infection? Sounds unnecessarily proactive

I would still take a look Netcraft as it's the best extension out there for Phishing. Adguard doesn't block much compared to Netcraft based on my personal tests.

I like keeping my OS fresh, but it is more of a placebo to be honest.

Netcraft not being open source is the deal breaker for me.

 

[LDogg]

Wouldn't see how, they;'re a company that's local to me. Very high rates of catching phishing sites out and blocking them. Sometimes you have to let the privacy thing go.

I think Duplicati is not a full Image System Backup solution...
