DRACUS' GOLDEN RULE
"Make sure you always have at least one clean, full system backup image created using your preferred system backup application, so that you can restore your system to its exact state, as it was when you created the said system image."

I suggest some programs for on-demand scans., NPE and ZAM Kit by Emsisot, Hitman pro is also good.
Thank you for sharing

Thanks much for your reply and suggestions, my dude!

Hmm...
Now that you mention Emsisoft, I used to love their Emergency Kit. I might download that.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware also used to be in my toolkit, but since I stopped fiddling with unknown apps and stuff, I didn't find much use for it. Still, I might re-add it if I find it necessary.

I strongly suggest you to keep it to ALWAYS NOTIFY.

Unfortunately too annoying for me. And I really haven't seen a difference since Vista, in that I have never got infected anyways. So I'll keep it off for convenience, I guess.

You have pure HIPS+Firewall on though.
How do you compare backups in Clonezilla, Paragon Free and Macrium Free?

Hello @DracusNarcrym I would also enable UAC.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man.

I love Paragon the most. Maybe it's because of the fact that I have used Paragon's software ever since their conception, starting with their Partition Manager.
But "ethically" speaking, I would always back CloneZilla, it's simple and does the job, plus it's open source, so... why not?

BTW, @DracusNarcrym - where did you get that username? Very gnarly-sounding!

Oh, thank you! I made it up some years ago.

My advice:

• Set UAC to Always Notify
• Add ZAM Free 3.0
• Add Emsisoft Browser Security to web browser(s)
• Maybe add Netcraft to your web browser(s) to prevent Phishing attempt from web pages

Thanks for sharing your config and I do hope you like the advice I have presented for you.
