Removed Emsisoft Emergency Kit - Was using it for awhile because I was lazy of switching back to Emsisoft after format awhile back. Any suggestions on password manager? I'm interested in a VPN but I'm more on the side of frugal spending.
 
I've full blown switched to Firefox and DuckDuckGo. I'm not sure what system cleaner I should use because I care a bit about my privacy and CCleaner I've heard might be compromised with Avast..?

Thanks for the suggestions! Would anyone reccomend a music/movie player or is Microsoft's standard apps decent enough? I turned off most of the privacy settings in Windows but not entirely convinced.

My advice:
  • Add Tinywall or MWFC as a compliment for the native Windows Firewall
Nothing else to add, thanks for sharing.

Did some changes past couple of months. Pretty much solo use Firefox for privacy. Emsisoft expired so I went back to Windows Defender. Thinking of getting NordVPN maybe. Any feedback is appreciated.
