I would like to suggest a good free and reliable backup solution such as Macrium Reflect or Aomei backupper. :)

Thanks for your suggestion, i don't need backup image i have a external hard drive as backup custom, i would like to format my PC if the windows crash or SSD crash :)


I will replace MalwareBytes free with Emsisoft Emergency Kit.

Turn SmartScreen On.

UAC Enabled, maybe Maximum?

A backup solution, like said by @frogboy.

Nice addons for browsers :)

Ah really? I've never seen that program before! is it good? what's new ? and ugh i don't want smartscreen & UAC it's annoying you know i was a computer engineer before but i take care of it i've never any problem since i built PC:unsure:

Maybe it just me but instead of having 2 different adblock installed, I would look at having Adguard installed system wide. You could also look at using Adguard's DNS servers if you don't want to pay for Adguard.

Also I would turn UAC on and OS File Reputation on as well no matter what.

Add more on-demand scanners like Zemana and EEk
You're using too many extensions for me and adding more and more extensions create problem's
Ublock origin is recommend instead of ad+
You're using any password manager and please mentioned it
Update your system config thread when you add or remove recommend by users

UAC & Smartscreen is not really that annoying and both are integral parts of Windows 10 security,therefore I would also suggest enabling both.
Implement some type of system and data backup solution.Back up important data to an external drive also.Those already suggested are good options.
I would remove ABD+ in favor of uBlock Origin.
Consider an additional on demand scanner(s).
Thanks for sharing your config :)

@CyberTech: I tagged temporally Your config as Risky, since You have UAC disabled, and also (Caution) no Image System Backup and File OS Reputation in Your system.

Also kindly consider some of the already mentioned suggestion about backup and on demands scanners.

Thanks for sharing :)

Your activities & candid interplay while adopting changes to improve your system's configuration have been delightful! :) I'd recognized you've 3 different browsers, so the number of extensions used for all of them are truly less than it appears.
I like how you've chosen to use a local account, and +1 for choosing CCleaner!(y)

Personally, I recommend setting Firefox to "Never remember history".
Consider below, if you have not done the following for your Chrome & Opera browsers yet:
  • Go under settings >>> privacy >> and then check the box beside "Block third party cookies".
Finally, a free (shareware) program that is an effective software to sandbox your browsers is called Sandboxie which I am using now. Originally developed to protect (in a virtual sandbox environment) Internet Explorer, you can read and download it from softpedia.com here:
..or directly from the developers (Invincea) here:
All in all, I like your set up a lot.:)
Thank you for sharing your configuration, and allowing us to share with you!:cool:
