I would use some good on demand scanners like Emsisoft Emergency Kit, ESET Online Scanner, Zemana Portable. You can use SysHardener to harden your OS and Configure_Defender to tweak WD.

Your configuration is very minimal and simple, nothing wrong it with(y)

But indeed you always could have some on-demand scanners like malwarebytes antimalware, malwarebytes adwcleaner & zemana as example, theres plenty of them

But if i were you, i would add OSArmor with default settings atleast. If you want to have more advanced solution you may check Hard_Configurator or Syshardener

@IGiveRoadhogTips:
  • Follow suggestions about hardening system/Windows defender.
  • As for "Virus and Malware Removal Tools", You may add: ZAM Free, HitMan.Pro Free and MalWareBytes Free.
  • As for "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add AOEMI Backupper or Paragon Backup & Recovery Free.
  • Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices and not only in cloud.
  • As for "Web Privacy", You may add a VPN service.
  • A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing Your config :giggle:
