Just some comments about how I changed in just 6 months, but I hadn't even discovered this forum:
-Moved from Firefox + uBlock Origin to Edge Chromium + AdGuard
-Moved from iObit Uninstaller and CCleaner to HiBit Uninstaller and Wise Disk Cleaner (thinking of using also Wise Registry Cleaner) --> tried Revo, didn't like, Privacy Eraser either
-Moved from Windows 10 Pro 1909 with fully disabled updates to Windows 10 Pro 1909 with delayed updates to Ghost Spectre LTSC with paused updates --> in last 3 months I had to fix plenty of things manually, even I installed updates about 1 week after release, tired of it, made a switch. Having all disabled made me to miss security updates, then paused updates makes perfect balance for me
-Moved from avast Premier to Windows Defender with ConfigureDefender. WD gave me issues with trusted folders (sometimes it frozen and couldn't add allowed app), then I got frustrated. Tested personally on VM results with like 15 AVs and AV suites, and just Kaspersky and BitDefender convinced me, among with some videos from The PC Security Channel and this forum ofc. Used KSC Cloud Free for a week then I purchased Kaspersky Total Security. I prefer it too much over avast and over WD
-Started using MEGA Sync about 2 months ago. Among best things I added to my setup. Version history saved me some time.
-Replaced Edge password syncing to BitWarden
-Started using AOMEI Backupper after last fresh install of LTSC. Made a full setup and made image. I plan to restore every 2 months or so, just reinstall extra software if needed and grab documents from cloud *UPDATE on 05/06/2020: restored from that image after 1 month use bcs lot of garbage made since lot of software was tryed and I had time to do it*
-05/06/2020 --> Added eMclient as email manager, set up some rules and hey, I love it! (I was tired of web clients tbh
)
(END)
About this config, my 2nd PC (laptop) runs almost 1:1 config, but I use a password on that one since I take it out from home.
Suggestions are welcome, I am just learning everyday as most of you do
Cheers!!
