Suggestions on the main improvements
I would add, at least, 1 3rd party Periodic Security Scanner, to not only rely on AVG signatures...
icarus
Level 2
at max config avg do the job maybe every 2 or 3 month i use drweb cureit or emsisoft kit to scan will post scan results in here but i trust avg more than microsoft defender and trendmicro both of them last year give me too much problems
Then, please add them to Periodic Scan, thanks
