Hi turn on uac ( user acount control ) to max and ad https everywhere as browser extensions. I would chance you backup solution becuase keriver is not being develloped / update anymore for 4 years , which posses a huge security risk to either macrium reflect or aomei backupper , both programs do have a free version available. also get a second on demand scanner , just to be sure : emsioft emergency kit or zemana anti malware free are good options. thanks for sharing your config with us! :D

Hi, what I would add is:
  • HTTPS Everywhere
  • CCleaner
  • Some more second-opinion scanners (Zemana Anti-Malware, Malwarebytes, Norton Power Eraser)
  • A signature based AV solution. A good free one is Avast, but you can find a good paid one like Trend Micro or Kaspersky for cheap if you're willing to pay.
Thanks for sharing your config! (◕‿◕)

Consider adding an additional on demand scanner(s).
Have you considered migrating to Windows 10?
Thanks for sharing your config :)

A few changes:
- UAC max settings
- Zemana AntiMalware free
- HTTPS Everywhere
All important files I have on the external hard drive (backup).

I do not like this program.

My laptop is too weak for Windows 10.
Windows 10 is better optimized :)
