Suggestions on the main improvements

@King Cobra:
  • Set UAC at Maximum.
  • Periodic malware scanners: add some 3rd party tools.
  • Secure DNS, Desktop VPN, PassWord Manager?
  • "I upload them to my Google Drive account": then edit the config and specify this at: File and Photo BackUp field.
  • System recovery: a full image system backup solution would be welcome here.
Thanks for sharing :)

I did use Malwarebytes and Emsisoft as second opinion scanners until this year, I removed them because in the last couple of years I did use them a long Bitdefender Internet Security, and when I scanned my PC, they never detected anything. I don't think I need VPN (I never use my PC outside home), that's why I bought Kaspersky Standard, if I needed VPN I would have bought Kaspersky Plus.

When I have some important data that I need to keep safe, I upload them to my Google Drive account, or I put it in a USB.

This config is updated, I didn't change anything from yesterday. I think I'll stay the way I am right now.
