Basic Security ifacedown's Security Config 2019

[ifacedown]

Using Windows 10 1909 on Laptop with ESET Smart Security Premium. What do I add, Zemana Anti-malware or Zemana Antilogger?

I do not do online banking and I do just casual browsing, and just make documents. Also using McShield.

Or is ESET and McShield enough?

Thank you!

This is enough.

@ifacedown: You don't need McShield since You already has ESET, also if AutoRuns are disabled...

I think ZAL has become a bit obsolete product and current ZAM3 seems not so good as it was in the past...

As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably. Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices

Kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing

Thank you.

I read opposing reviews on Zemana. Some say it's great, some say it's going downhill.

Thank you! Wow, they are free! Can I use them to clone my SSD in case I have to replace it? Hard Disk Sentinel and Intel SSD Toolbox are great to determine the health of my SSD?

Yes, both have direct Clone option... about health of SSD, which brand is it? usually Samsung, Crucial and others have their own application to manage SSD features, info, update firmware, etc...

Intel 660p 512GB, a cheap one, using QLC, 5 years warranty, 100 TBW. I use online SSD life calculators, and if I write around 20GB per day it will really last long. I seldom reach 10GB everyday.

UAC set to always notify, MCShield may not be needed, add a system backup solution such as Macrium or Aomei. Rest look ok to me.
