I would like to suggest some form of backups. You could give Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper a look both have a free and reliable version.

I guess you use Bitdefender Internet/Total Security?
As @frogboy said, backup/recovery plan is a "must to have" to secure your OS and data it contains.

Thanks for sharing your security config, Mantu.
My suggestions are:
- Changing your UAC to Maximum.
- Allow automatic updates.
- Install at least one more on-demand scanner; Crystal Security, Zemana AntiMalware, HitmanPro andMalwarebytes Anti-Malware are all good ones I would recommend.
- Change your ad-blocker to uBlock Origin or Adguard Adblocker and install your preferred filters; This isn't a necessary change, but I would recommend it.
- A backup solution such as Macrium Reflect.

Hello @Mantu, you've a straightforward configuration! May I inquire as to which browsers you've chosen, and (besides Adblock Plus) the extensions you prefer? An extension which encourages secure connections where available is HTTPS Everywhere

Suggestions you've received will together greatly enhance preventative defenses to your system. Creating an image of your system also remains an important fail safe I've truly need to follow, and also the reason I'd compared external HDDs today.

Some practical methods of reducing the likelihood unwanted changes occur on your system:

• Download programs only from their developers or trusted "safe" sites such as Softpedia - Free Downloads Encyclopedia & MajorGeeks.Com - MajorGeeks

• Safe check downloaded files by scanning them at VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner before running.
• Browse while using the free virtualization program Sandbox(ie) which was developed to address vulnerabilities present in Internet Explorer. The act of deleting the "sandbox" that has protected your browser is essentially like having a reset button. All changes which occur are isolated & removed, so updates must be performed without using Sandboxie. You can read more, and download it from Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie

A useful and free program which safely removes accumulated junk files while increasing your system's privacy is CCleaner CCleaner - Free Download - Piriform

Let us know, with any changes, what you think. Thanks!

Which version of Bitdefender are you using?

 

[Exterminator]

Please edit your config in the following areas:
Real time protection: What Version of Bitdefender are you using?
On demand scanners: Bitdefender is obviously your real time protection so edit on demand scanners to none or other onde mand tha you might be using.

Thanks for sharing your config

Looks pretty good add Zemana Anti-Malware as another scanner and enable Auto updates.
