Made a few changes due to issues with Comodo taking forever to load with new versions and laptop becoming unresponsive. Installed Sophos Home free in replace of Comodo and using Windows Firewall. Have removed some browser extensions as no longer needed, and using Edge as the main browser with the aim of moving over to Edge Chrome when released. Have been thinking over purchasing Sophos Home Premium as quite liked it when beta testing it, but not sure I need the extra protections.

Decided to go with Sophos Home Premium as quite enjoyed it when Beta testing and worked really well on my laptop. Download reputation set to strict, Artificial Intelligence, Exploit protection, webcam protection, malicious traffic detection, keylogger detection, keystroke encryption, safe browsing, website filtering on and ransomware protection turned on.
Removed VoodooShield due to upgrading Sophos to premium version.
Removed Myki password manager and replaced with Bitwarden
Windows version now 1903
