I would like to suggest a good free and reliable backup solution for you. both Macrium Reflect and Aomei Backupper have a good free software you could use. :)

Are you using Bitdefender free or paid solutions?
You can add ZAM and/or EEK alongside MBAM for regular scans.
Please follow the directions for a good backup/restore plan.
Thanks for sharing :)

@lancer502: please follow the already commented suggestions:

- Please specify the exact version of BitDedenfer product You have installed.
- For Virus and Malware Removal Tools, You may add: ZAM Free and Norton Power Eraser.
- 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, not only in cloud.
- A PassWord Manager would be welcome also :)

Thanks for sharing :)

If you think of it as a car, backing up the system image is like storing a spare of the engine. Useful when it breaks down. :)It is recommended to use external drive and cloud together for data backup. This is like a spare tire.:)

Thank you for sharing:D(y)

I agree with everything that has been listed above. As you have Windows Firewall you could add in NVT Syshardener, by default there's some useful security Firewall Rules that can implemented, or use software like Simplewall or a program that can help Configure certain rulesets for you.

Other elements you may add could be:
  • Adding NVT OSArmor 1.3 as an Anti Exploit/Real Time protection, works along side BF
  • Adding uBlock Origin & Scriptsafe as vital extensions for all Browsers you have
  • Maybe add Privacy Possum, Decentraleyes, Canvas Blocker & Cookie AutoDelete to Firefox
  • Maybe add User Agent Switcher & Decentraleyes to Opera
  • When installing ScriptSafe look on my config on what to tick in Fingerprint privacy protection
  • Maybe add adwcleaner as on demand scanner
  • Alternatives to CCleaner would be Bleachbit or PrivaZer

Alternatively as well, go into Opera Browser's settings (Alt+P) turn on VPN & Ad Blocking capablities. The Ad Blocker in settings has a option to turn on NoCoin by default to block Crypto Currency Mining from your browser.
