First of all, you are at risk: you shouldn't play with Malware on your host machine. System utilities are optimising software (CCleaner, for example)
i using Shadow Defender . BUT it wasnt a choice in that title box.. so i choose my host becuase SD installed on my host machine right? :D

and yes i have Ccleaner installed , i will fill it ( i'm eating dinner at the moment :D:( )

Downloading, Storing, Running malware on your Host PC is a huge security risk.

Even if you use Shadow Defender on your PC, there's still a risk of being compromised or affecting other network-connected devices on your private network including smartphones, routers, printers and smart appliances.

Shadow Defender can be added under real-time protection.

If you use Shadow Defender, you aren't on your real machine, but you are in a virtual environment.

Why not extensions?

You can install HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin

I suggest you to add a backup software, such as Macrium Reflect Free or AOMEI Backupper.

Thanks for sharing.

here is my new 2017 Config , waiting for your opinions on it :D

( come on guys tell me its great ;) : )))) )
I would suggest that you use a Password Manager like KeePass 2.0 - you can't simply say "I don't believe them", do you mean "I don't trust them?" because if so KeePass 2.0 is perfect for you since it's Offline - no company is storing your details & only you have access to the passwords.

I use KeePass 2.0 as my Password Manager & have a 30 character password to open it as well as a Key File (for Two Step Authentication) which is on an encrypted USB stick in my Safe... It is pretty much the most secure Password Manager you can use & is reliable, trustworthy & just brilliant :)

I would also recommend using Avira Browser Safety - better URL protection than Dr. Web & Https everywhere - this makes sure all connections are encrypted. Possibly AdGuard too to prevent ads popping up.

Otherwise, it looks ok :D

If you really cared about your privacy then you'd be using an adblocker.

Good idea about KeePass & no problem :D

But I seriously would advise Avira Browser Safety & HTTPS Everywhere if you care about Privacy - Avira just protects you online from Malicious & Phishing URLs but HTTPS Everywhere allows your connections to be encrypted - which thus improves privacy since you have a more secure connection.

what if that adblocker spyes on me ? how can i be sure about that? how can i trust them?

i trusted to DrWeb because i have some friends in their Company and know how their privacy terms works ! what about these extension you offering me ?

uBlock Origin is open source and you can see and inspect all the code, or you could even change it to suit your own needs.

Using Google as your search engine is not good for your privacy by any means.

Maybe you can try : StartPage, SearX, or DuckDuckGo.

What's wrong with Avira? I'm curious.
they have a bad history on adding an important/dangerous malware in their database which was one of the most recognized malwares in its time .. it was belong to a country for spying another country... ( i cannot be clear here ... i'm sure you underestand :D ) some of companies wont add it in their database till that malware did its job... one of those company was Avira , another one was Symantec... this is wat hurt my trust to Avira & Symantec :D

by the way excuse me for my not real good English, i'm not an English speaker ;)
