@looneta: I tagged temporally as
Risky Your config, since no backup solution in Your system.
Please kindly consider:
- System Backup solution: both already mentioned by
@frogboy are free and reliable.
- Also manual backups of important data to external device.
- As real time, I would do a companion at least: ZAM (I guess is not strong enough in real time) with another security product, for instead, Avast Free (Hardened Mode) or Avira Free.
- As for on-demand scanners: EmsiSoft E. Kit, Norton Power Eraser.
Thanks for sharing!
