this is the security setup i am using on my new laptop , i dont want to mess around anymore with 3rd party av software , so i will stick with windows built in security to keep it hassle free.
Removed Edge and Defender completely ( Edge with script and defender with privacysexy )
installed chrome and mulvad browser
installed adguard desktop ( had a lifetime license lying around )
upgraded to windows 11 24h2
I also picked up a 3 year license for Trendmicro Maximum Security for 7 euro
